Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00667
The grant opportunity titled "Economic Impacts Study of the Historic Preservation Fund" is a National Park Service (NPS), Department of the Interior initiative carried out in partnership with the National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers (NCSHPO). Its purpose is to select a qualified organization to design and apply a set of economic and programmatic measurement methods that can be used to evaluate the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) from its beginning through the present day. In practical terms, the work centers on building a credible way to measure what HPF funding has produced over time, not only in terms of preservation outputs, but also in terms of broader economic outcomes that can be compared and communicated consistently.
The HPF itself is framed in the notice as a foundational funding source for a national preservation network that spans state, tribal, and local governments and supports both public-sector and private-sector preservation activity. The program is described as helping finance rehabilitation and protection of significant historic places and objects, with knock-on effects that include neighborhood and downtown revitalization. The opportunity emphasizes that preserving and reusing historic resources is not only a cultural benefit but also an economic strategy: it can create jobs tied to rehabilitation work, sustain skilled trades and related professional services, and support heritage tourism that brings visitor spending into local economies. The proposed study is meant to capture and quantify these kinds of impacts so the role of HPF funding in strengthening state, tribal, and local economies can be demonstrated with clearer evidence.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement structure, meaning the federal agency expects to remain actively involved with the recipient during the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The eligible applicant type specified is limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.946, and the funding opportunity number is P17AS00667. The anticipated federal funding amount noted is up to 99,000 dollars, with one expected award, indicating a single organization would be tasked with producing the study deliverables.
A key point in the listing is that it is not open for competition at the time described. It is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent, and it states that no applications are being accepted because the task agreement is being awarded under an existing cooperative agreement (P17AC00528) that had already been selected through a competitive process. In other words, the announcement functions more as a public notice about the planned award and project scope than as a solicitation inviting new proposals.
Overall, the opportunity is about creating a structured, defensible way to evaluate HPF results over decades, tying preservation investments to measurable economic and community outcomes. The end goal is a clearer national picture of how HPF funding supports preservation activities across governments and communities and how those activities translate into jobs, revitalization, and tourism-driven economic benefits.Apply for P17AS00667
