The Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) Grant program is
appropriated annually from Congress through the National Park
Service to the states. HPD reserves 10 percent of each year's
appropriation for grants to Certified Local Governments
(CLGs). The 60/40 matching grants enable cities, towns, and
rural areas to undertake projects that aid in the preservation of
historic properties.
Eligible survey and planning activities include surveys, National
Register nominations, design guidelines, brochures, web site
development, heritage education materials, workshops/conferences,
etc. Eligible predevelopment projects include activities such as
historic structure reports, preservation plans, or architectural
drawings and specifications.

All grant assisted preservation work must meet the
