Grants to Diversify the National Register of Historic Places
The National Park Service’s Underrepresented Communities Grant Program (URC) works towards diversifying listings submitted to the National Register of Historic Places. URC grants are funded by the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) and are administered by the NPS. Projects include surveys and inventories of historic properties associated with communities underrepresented in the National Register, as well as the development of nominations to the National Register for specific sites.
All funded projects must result in the submission of a new or amended nomination to the National Register of Historic Places to include underrepresented communities.
Grants are awarded through a competitive process and do not require non-Federal match. Application packages must be submitted using Grants.gov under Assistance Listing 15.966.
