Opportunity Information: Apply for P26AS00019
The FY2026 Battlefield Land Acquisition Grant (BLAG), offered by the National Park Service’s American Battlefield Protection Program, provides funding to help preserve historic battlefield lands from the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, and Civil War. Through this program, state and local governments, Tribes, and nonprofits can apply for matching grants to acquire full or partial ownership of eligible battlefield sites located outside the boundaries of National Park System units.
Funding is distributed competitively and on a rolling basis, with each grant requiring a one-to-one non-Federal match. Eligible projects must focus on sites identified in key NPS reports and must ensure at least 50% of the land acquired lies within defined battlefield boundaries. Lands purchased with grant funds must remain publicly accessible in a way that aligns with long-term preservation goals. Additionally, recipients must place a perpetual preservation easement on the property, typically held by a State Historic Preservation Office or another approved organization.
This grant aligns with national efforts to celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence in 2026 by encouraging projects that deepen public understanding of U.S. history and preserve key heritage sites for future generations.Apply for P26AS00019
