Save America’s Treasures Grant Opportunity

The Institute of Museum and Library Services is pleased to announce that the Save America’s Treasures (SAT) grant program is now accepting applications. The Save America’s Treasures grant program was established in 1998 and first awarded grants in 1999 to help preserve nationally significant historic properties and collections that convey our nation’s rich heritage to future generations.

The program is administered by the National Park Service in cooperation with its partners, IMLS, National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). The NPS manages the Preservation grants and the IMLS administers Collections grants. Congress has appropriated $25.5 million in FY2024 funding for Collections and Preservation projects.

Applications are due December 12, 2024.

Available Grant Funding

Grants are available to fund two types of projects: “Collections” and “Preservation”.

  • Collections projects must be determined to be of national significance based on the supportive description of its significance within the application. Collections include artifacts, documents, sculptures, and other works of art.
  • Preservation projects fund planning and “bricks and mortar” preservation/conservation work on historic buildings and structures listed in the National Register of Historic Places for national significance or designated a National Historic Landmark.
