| | Comments (0)
The American Battlefield Protection Program (ABPP) of the National Park Service invites non-profit groups, academic institutions, and local, regional, state, and tribal governments, and other private sector organizations to submit applications for grants. The purpose of this grant program is to provide seed money for projects that lead directly to the identification, preservation and interpretation of battlefield land and/or historic sites associated with battlefields. Project funding has ranged from $5,000 to $80,000.

The ABPP encourages potential applicants to contact the ABPP staff and discuss proposed projects before preparing an application. Contact the ABPP Grants Manager by email or at (202) 354-2037 for more information.

Application Due Dates

Applications sent by commercial express delivery service or hand-delivered by the applicant must be received in the ABPP office by 4:00 p.m. January 21, 2010.

Late and/or incomplete Grant Application Packages will not be considered for funding and will be discarded without action or notification.

Standard Form (SF) 424 submitted without original signatures will be discarded without action causing the Grant Application Package to be considered incomplete.

ABPP encourages applicants to use an express delivery service, as packages sent via regular USPS mail will be irradiated - a process that destroys photographs and colored paper.

Battlefield Land - Sites where armed conflict, fighting, or warfare occurred between two opposing military organizations or forces recognized as such by their respective cultures (not civil unrest).
