## What the grant funds

The National Park Service’s (NPS) Semiquincentennial Grant Program will preserve sites related to the founding of the nation as understood in the broadest possible sense. The program seeks to fund projects throughout the United States that are for the preservation of sites significant for their ability to convey the founding and development of America as a nation ending with the election of 1800. Resources funded by the grant must be significant for their association with the history of what would become the United States; this means that some or all of the period of significance is on or before December 31, 1800. These grants are funded by the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF), administered by the NPS, and will fund physical preservation to state-owned properties. Grants are awarded through a competitive process and do not require non-Federal match. The Semiquincentennial grant opportunity number is P22AS00035.
