Opportunity Information: Apply for P21AS00334
The FY21-NPS-IMR-Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program (Funding Opportunity Number P21AS00334, CFDA 15.958) is a National Park Service discretionary grant opportunity aimed at protecting and celebrating the historic resources tied to Route 66. Congress created the Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program in 1999 to recognize Route 66 as a nationally significant part of American heritage, and the program has been funded since 2001. The purpose of this FY2021 grant cycle is to support tangible, priority preservation work and related preservation activities that keep the places and stories of Route 66 alive for the public.
This opportunity focuses on cost-share grants, meaning recipients are expected to contribute matching resources rather than relying entirely on federal funds. Funds can be used to preserve significant and representative Route 66-related historic assets such as buildings, structures, road segments, and cultural landscapes along the corridor. The program also supports preservation-oriented planning, research, and educational initiatives, reflecting the idea that successful preservation often requires documentation, thoughtful planning, and public interpretation in addition to physical repair or stabilization.
Eligible projects must relate to the Route 66 corridor across the eight Route 66 states: Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California. The program is designed to work through partnerships across the private and public sectors, and it emphasizes identifying and addressing the most important preservation needs along the highway. Along with funding, the program highlights technical assistance as a tool to help communities and stewards of Route 66 resources complete higher-quality preservation work and broaden public understanding of Route 66 history.
A key administrative feature is that projects are authorized as individual awards, with each approved project requiring its own separate work plan and budget. These are developed cooperatively between the National Park Service and the recipient (referred to as the cooperator), which signals a hands-on approach where NPS is involved in shaping scope, deliverables, and costs for each funded activity.
Eligibility is broad and includes individuals (such as private property owners and business owners), state governments, local governments, federally recognized tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3), as specified). Educational institutions are also referenced in the program description as potential partners and participants. The award ceiling listed for this opportunity is $30,000 per award. The application closing date for this FY2021 opportunity was April 26, 2021, and the opportunity was created on February 23, 2021.
Finally, the notice makes clear that this cost-share grant program is established for Fiscal Year 2021 only and could be revised or canceled in future years depending on Congressional appropriations and shifting program priorities. In practical terms, that means applicants and partners should treat this as a time-limited funding round, with future availability not guaranteed even though the broader Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program has operated for many years.Apply for P21AS00334
