Japanese American Confinement Sites Grant Program

The Japanese American Confinement Sites Grant Program provides financial assistance to organizations working to preserve historic Japanese American confinement sites and their history. Eligible projects include capital projects, documentation, oral history interviews, interpretation and education, preservation, and planning. The program requires a 2:1 Federal to non-Federal match. • Eligible applicants include state and local agencies, public or private nonprofit institutions, Federally recognized Indian tribal governments, and educational institutions. • Eligible sites include the ten War Relocation Authority sites and other historically significant locations. • The program does not fund projects that have already been completed, establishment of Friends groups, fundraising, lobbying, long-term maintenance, or land acquisition at certain sites. • The application package must include a signed SF-424, project narrative, budget information, and other required documents.
