Opportunity Information: Apply for P23AS00031
The Japanese American Confinement Sites Grant Program is a National Park Service discretionary grant opportunity designed to help preserve and share the history of places where Japanese Americans were detained during World War II. Its core purpose is to provide financial assistance for work that protects these sites and strengthens public understanding of what happened there, so that current and future generations can learn from them and so the sites can stand as a lasting reminder of the nation s commitment to equal justice under the law. The program is authorized under Public Law 109-441, as amended by Public Law 111-88, and the legislation allows up to 38 million in total funding over the life of the program.
Funding is intended for projects that directly benefit one or more historic Japanese American confinement sites. Supported activities include identifying and documenting resources, researching and evaluating site history and significance, interpreting the stories connected to the sites for public audiences, and carrying out preservation actions such as protection, restoration, repair, and even acquisition when that is necessary to safeguard significant resources. In practical terms, the program can support both physical preservation of historic features and educational or interpretive work that helps the public understand the lived experiences of confinement and the broader civil rights lessons tied to these places.
The program defines historic confinement sites to include the ten War Relocation Authority camp locations: Gila River, Granada, 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 long as they are determined eligible by the Secretary of the Interior. Many of these locations are discussed in the National Park Service publication Confinement and Ethnicity: An Overview of World War II Japanese American Relocation Sites (1999), which is available online through the NPS history site.
A wide range of applicants are eligible. This includes state, county, and city or township 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 federal property when they are partnering with the federal agency that owns the eligible historic resource, which makes it possible for outside organizations to help advance preservation goals even when a site is under federal ownership.
