Opportunity Information: Apply for P22AS00433
The FY2022 Historic Preservation Fund Save America's Treasures (SAT) Collection Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P22AS00433) is a competitive federal grant program run by the National Park Service (NPS) to support the preservation and conservation of nationally significant collections. It is funded through the Historic Preservation Fund, with FY2022 Public Law 117-103 providing a total of $26.5 million for the broader SAT grant program. While SAT supports both historic properties and collections, this specific listing is focused on collections, with a separate, parallel funding opportunity available for preservation projects tied to historic properties (P22AS00432). The program is administered by NPS in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), and the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), reflecting its cross-sector emphasis on safeguarding important cultural resources.
This grant is designed to fund direct preservation and/or conservation work for collections that have national significance. In practice, that means projects are expected to address tangible needs such as stabilizing, treating, rehousing, or otherwise conserving historically important objects, archives, specimens, artworks, or similar collection materials, rather than supporting general operations. Awards are made through a competitive review process, so applicants should expect that proposals will be judged against other submissions nationwide and that strong documentation of significance, urgency, feasibility, and public value will matter.
A key requirement of the SAT program is the dollar-for-dollar cost share. Applicants must provide a non-federal match equal to the federal amount requested. The match can be provided as cash or as documented in-kind contributions, but it must be non-federal and properly supported with records. This matching requirement effectively means an applicant seeking the maximum federal award would need to demonstrate an equivalent amount in eligible matching resources, and planning ahead for allowable match documentation is a major part of being competitive and compliant.
Eligibility is broad across public, nonprofit, and certain tribal entities. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, as listed in the opportunity); and federally recognized tribal governments as well as other tribal organizations. The program also explicitly notes eligibility for federally recognized Indian Tribes, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiian Organizations as defined in 54 USC 300300. Federal agencies may also be involved, but with an important limitation: NPS is excluded, and other federal agencies generally must apply through a nonprofit partner when the collections or historic properties are owned by that federal agency. Another firm restriction is that grants are not available for sites or collections owned by the National Park Service.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant (not a formula entitlement), issued as a grant funding instrument, and categorized under a general "Other" funding activity category. The CFDA/Assistance Listing number associated with the opportunity is 15.929. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $750,000. The opportunity record shows an original closing date of December 20, 2022, and a creation date of September 21, 2022, which helps situate it as a FY2022 cycle announcement rather than an open-ended program listing.Apply for P22AS00433
