Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00740
The Cultural Preservation and Demonstration Arts at Sitka National Historical Park - Winter Workshops Project (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00740) is a National Park Service funding opportunity under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It was issued as a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on arts and humanities activities connected to cultural affairs (CFDA 15.946). The project is centered at Sitka National Historical Park in Sitka, Alaska, and is designed to support cultural preservation work tied directly to the place and its Indigenous history.
The purpose of the agreement is to build and sustain a collaborative program between the National Park Service and the Sitka Tribe of Alaska (STA), including STA's related and constituent Tlingit clans. The core idea is to help maintain a strong, living connection between Tlingit artists and their ancestral homeland in Sitka by providing practical resources that make cultural work possible and visible. In particular, the opportunity emphasizes providing studio space and artisanal support, which can include the physical space and material or logistical assistance needed for artists and culture bearers to create, practice, and potentially demonstrate traditional arts in a setting connected to the park.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which generally means the National Park Service is expected to have an active role in the project beyond simply providing funds. In real terms, that typically reflects a partnership model where both sides coordinate on planning, use of space, scheduling, and how workshops or demonstrations integrate with the park's cultural and educational mission.
Eligibility is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments, but this particular announcement is explicitly a notice of intent to award to the Sitka Tribe of Alaska. The notice states that applications will not be selected from any applicant other than STA, effectively making it a sole-recipient opportunity intended to formalize and fund an existing or planned collaboration with that specific tribal partner.
The funding details indicate an award ceiling of $30,000, with one expected award. The opportunity was created on August 28, 2017, with an original closing date of September 4, 2017. Overall, the project is a targeted investment meant to support hands-on cultural continuity through winter workshops and related activities, strengthening Indigenous cultural presence and practice in a historically significant homeland setting while aligning with the National Park Service's role in preserving and interpreting cultural heritage.Apply for P17AS00740
