Opportunity Summary:

The Art and Conservation Stewardship Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 10 NERO 0013) is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior notice indicating the agency's intent to make a single cooperative agreement award connected to a specific, pre-identified project arrangement. Rather than being a broadly competed grant solicitation, it functions primarily as a public notice that NPS plans to fund particular project activities through a non-competitive award action. The notice references Task Agreement J181810D011 under an existing Cooperative Agreement (H1818060017) with the named cooperator, the New England Foundation for the Arts, and directs interested parties to review the attachment included in the full announcement for the detailed scope and supporting documentation.

In practical terms, the opportunity is categorized as a mandatory notice with a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, and it falls under the arts funding activity area (noted as Arts, with a reference to Cultural Affairs in CFDA). The announcement anticipates exactly one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $54,000. The funding range is fixed, with both the award ceiling and award floor listed at $54,000, indicating there is no flexibility in the award amount for this action. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, meaning the recipient is not expected to contribute a required non-federal share as a condition of the award.

Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which aligns with the type of organization represented by the identified cooperator. However, because the notice explicitly states the intent to fund the project activities "without full and open competition" and ties the action to a particular task agreement and cooperative agreement with a specified partner, it is best understood as a transparency step rather than an open call for new applicants.

Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on June 15, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 25, 2010, and an archive date of July 25, 2010. The short window reinforces that this is an intent-to-award notice tied to an existing agreement framework rather than a standard competitive grant cycle. For access issues or questions about the full announcement materials, the listed contact is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
