The National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 authorizes a program of federal matching grants, known as the Historic Preservation Fund, to assist the various states in carrying out historic preservation activities. The program is sponsored by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and in Missouri is administered through the State Historic Preservation Office of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.

In fiscal year 2007, the State Historic Preservation Office expects to award approximately $68,000 in federal Historic Preservation Fund grants to Certified Local Governments.*

*DUE TO LIMITED AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS IN THIS FY2007 GRANT CYCLE, THE STATE HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICE CAN ONLY CONSIDER PROJECTS SUBMITTED BY CERTIFIED LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.
REGRETABLY, GRANT APPLICATIONS FROM INDIVIDUALS, NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AND NON-CERTIFIED LOCAL GOVERNMENTS CANNOT BE ACCEPTED OR REVIEWED.

For more information on these grants to Certified Local Governments, please contact Jo Ann Radetic at 573-522-2473 or via e-mail.
