Opportunity Information: Apply for P24AS00023
The Japanese American Confinement Sites Grant Program is a National Park Service discretionary grant opportunity designed to support preservation and public understanding of places connected to the World War II incarceration of Japanese Americans. Its central purpose is to provide financial assistance for projects that protect these sites and help interpret their history so that current and future generations can learn from them. The program is rooted in federal law (Public Law 109-441, as amended by Public Law 111-88), which sets an overall authorization of up to $38 million across the life of the program and frames the work as part of the nation's commitment to equal justice under the law.
Funding is intended for a wide range of preservation and interpretation activities that directly benefit one or more eligible historic confinement sites. Supported projects may include efforts to identify and document resources; conduct research and evaluation; develop interpretation and education; protect and stabilize threatened resources; restore or repair historic features; and, when appropriate, acquire property or interests in property connected to confinement history. The key requirement is that the work must clearly benefit an eligible site and contribute to safeguarding its historical significance or improving the public's ability to understand what happened there.
The program defines "historic confinement sites" to include the ten principal War Relocation Authority camps: Gila River, Granada (Amache), Heart Mountain, Jerome, Manzanar, Minidoka, Poston, Rohwer, Topaz, and Tule Lake. It also covers other historically significant locations where Japanese Americans were detained during the war, as determined by the Secretary of the Interior. These places are documented in the National Park Service publication Confinement and Ethnicity: An Overview of World War II Japanese American Relocation Sites (1999), which is publicly available online through the NPS and other websites.
Eligibility is broad and includes state governments, counties, cities or townships, special district governments, federally recognized tribal governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits). The program also allows non-federal entities to apply for projects involving federally owned eligible historic resources, as long as the applicant is partnering with the federal agency that owns the property.
For the specific opportunity posting referenced (Funding Opportunity Number P24AS00023, CFDA 15.933), the agency is the National Park Service and the funding instrument is a grant under the environment funding activity category. The listed award ceiling is $3,000,000, and the original closing date shown is 2023-11-01. Overall, the opportunity is geared toward organizations with the capacity to carry out preservation, restoration, research, or interpretive work that keeps the history of Japanese American confinement visible, accurate, and accessible through tangible places and well-developed educational and interpretive efforts.Apply for P24AS00023
