Opportunity Information: Apply for P24AS00251

The P24AS00251 - 2024 Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the National Park Service (NPS) under CFDA/Assistance Listing 15.958. It traces back to a 1999 act of Congress that created the Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program in recognition of Route 66 as a nationally significant piece of American heritage. The core purpose of this funding is to support efforts that preserve the historic places, resources, and stories connected to the Route 66 corridor, helping ensure that the physical remnants and cultural history of the highway are protected and passed on.

This opportunity uses the grant funding instrument and falls under the funding activity category listed as "Other," which typically signals a program where projects can vary widely as long as they align with the preservation mission. While the source description is brief, the stated emphasis on preserving "special places and stories" indicates support for work tied to historic preservation and heritage interpretation along the Route 66 corridor. In practice, that commonly includes activities such as stabilizing or rehabilitating historic structures and features, protecting historically significant sites or landscapes, and documenting or interpreting the historical narratives associated with Route 66 and the communities it connected.

Eligibility is broad and includes most common public, nonprofit, and private applicant types. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city/township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments as well as other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status; individuals; and for-profit organizations (including small businesses). This wide eligibility suggests the program is designed to reach the diverse mix of stewards along Route 66, from local governments and museums to community organizations, tribes, educational institutions, private owners, and small businesses that may own or manage historic resources.

The opportunity was created on February 1, 2024, and the original application closing date was April 19, 2024. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) listed is $120,000. The number of expected awards is not specified in the provided data, which often means awards depend on available appropriations and the volume and quality of applications received. Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as NPS support for targeted preservation and heritage work that protects Route 66-related resources and helps sustain the public understanding of the route's historical importance.
