The Northern Pacific Railway Historical Association (NPRHA) awards a limited number of grants each year, in the areas of railway history and the preservation of railway heritage including structures, locomotives, rolling stock, maintenance of way equipment and museum exhibits. Funding for publications, research, outreach, and educational projects would include materials, specialized equipment, and other items necessary to produce the end result, but not pay for labor hours of the developers, other than hired specialists who are not a party to the application. Grant requests for basic software and computer equipment are discouraged. The maximum individual award is $5,000. Applicants are restricted to one application annually and may be either individuals or organizations knowledgeable in Northern Pacific Railway (NPR) history and operations. Consideration may be given to material relating to historical affiliates of the NPR.
