Save America's Treasures | Institute of Museum and Library Services Collections Projects (Opportunity #P25AS00508) Preservation Projects (Opportunity #P25AS00469) Collections Projects: $25,000 - $750,000 Preservation Projects: $125,000 - $750,000 Grant Period: One to three years Cost Share Requirement: You must provide funds from non-federal sources in an amount that is equal to or greater than the amount of your request.
Program Overview: Save America's Treasures is a Historic Preservation Fund grant program administered by the National Park Service in partnership with the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Grants are available to fund two types of projects: Collections projects support museums, libraries, archives, and all other collecting institutions in addressing conservation needs of nationally significant collections including physical conservation, care, and collections management. Collections include artifacts, museum collections, 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.
Designed to support the preservation of nationally significant historic properties and collections, the grant program is competitive and requires a dollar-for-dollar, non-Federal match, which can be cash or documented in-kind. Individual properties or collections that received an SAT grant in the past are not eligible for additional funding.

A new Interior Department policy routes every grant and cooperative agreement of $50,000 or more through two political appointees for manual review. The result is a backlog of roughly 1,400 grants and $362 million in delayed funding — up from fewer than 10 two years ago. Here is how the bottleneck works, why it matters even for recipients who already have an award letter, and what nonprofits, universities, states, and tribes should do to protect projects that depend on Interior dollars.
