Opportunity Summary:
The Baltimore National Heritage Area grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0011) is a National Park Service cooperative agreement tied to the federal designation of the Baltimore National Heritage Area, which was authorized by Congress in 2009 under Public Law 111-11. The purpose of the funding is to support the work of the designated local coordinating entity, the Baltimore Heritage Area Association, in carrying out programs and projects that preserve and promote the natural, historic, scenic, and cultural resources that define the heritage area. In practical terms, the opportunity centers on activities that recognize, protect, and enhance key resource values; build and maintain interpretive exhibits and educational programs; raise public awareness and appreciation of local resources; and protect or restore historic sites and buildings in ways that align with the heritage area themes.
A major emphasis of the heritage area program is coordination and partnership-building. The announcement highlights the expectation that the coordinating entity will promote broad partnerships among governments, organizations, and individuals, and that it will consider the interests of diverse stakeholders across the heritage area when preparing and implementing the management plan. This reflects the way National Heritage Areas typically function: they rely on collaboration, interpretation, and community-driven stewardship rather than direct federal ownership or management of sites.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, this listing is categorized as a mandatory cooperative agreement in the education, environment, and natural resources activity areas, with CFDA (now Assistance Listing) number 15.939 for National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance. The total anticipated award amount is fixed at $72,000, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $72,000, and the notice indicates cost sharing or matching is required. Only one award was expected.
Importantly, the eligibility and competition details make clear that this posting is not a competitive solicitation for new applicants. It explicitly states that this is an announcement that an award has already been assigned, meaning the funding decision had already been made at the time of posting. While the eligible applicant category is listed as 501(c)(3) nonprofits other than institutions of higher education, the intent here is informational rather than an open call for proposals. The opportunity was posted March 11, 2013, with an original and current closing date of April 9, 2013, and it was archived on April 10, 2013.
For anyone needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, at 215-597-9153, associated with the Baltimore National Heritage Area through the National Park Service.
