NATHPO'S PROTECTING NATIVE PLACES GRANT PROGRAM HITS APPLICATION LIMIT IN RECORD TIME!
As of May 22, 2025, NATHPO's Protecting Native Places program hit its 25-application limit after launching earlier this month. This is the quickest NATHPO has reached the maximum number of applications in the four-year history of the program.
Thanks to a grant from the Mellon Foundation, we were able to increase the award amount to $40,000, and NATHPO has awarded all funds available for 2025. We are no longer accepting applications.
Many thanks to all of the THPOs who have applied for Protecting Native Places Grants this year, as well as the applicants and recipients in years past who made this program the success story it has become. We look forward to announcing the recipients once the list has been finalized.
