Opportunity Summary:
Art and Conservation Stewardship, Phase 2 is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding opportunity focused on using art and the creative process to encourage conservation stewardship in national parks across New England. The core idea behind the project is that artistic engagement can help park visitors and surrounding communities connect more personally with natural and cultural resources, which in turn can strengthen public commitment to protecting those places. The announcement frames the activity category as "Other," with the specific clarification that the funded work centers on arts-based approaches to inspiring stewardship.
This posting is a "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning it is not an open competition and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as formal public notice that the NPS planned to make a single cooperative agreement award without full and open competition. The named partner for this cooperative agreement is the New England Foundation for the Arts, indicating that the agency had already identified the organization it intended to fund for Phase 2 of this effort. Because it is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, it typically implies more substantial ongoing involvement by the federal agency in shaping, supporting, or collaborating on project implementation.
Funding for the project was set at a total of $25,500, and the award ceiling and floor are both listed as $25,500, which signals a fixed, single-award amount rather than a range of possible awards. The expected number of awards is one, aligning with the intent-to-award format. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so the recipient was not required to contribute a non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds.
Eligibility in the listing is described generally as limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but in practical terms the intent-to-award language and the identification of the New England Foundation for the Arts indicate the recipient was predetermined for this phase. The opportunity was posted on August 16, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 22, 2011, and it was archived on August 23, 2011, reflecting the short administrative window typical of notices that are published mainly for transparency rather than to solicit proposals.
For administrative or access questions about the full announcement materials, the contact listed is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, with a phone number of 215-597-6476. The announcement also directs general Grants.gov navigation questions to the standard "Contact Us" resources on the site and notes that full details were provided in an attachment accessible through the "Full Announcement" link.
