Opportunity Summary:
The Baltimore National Heritage Area opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 11 NERO 0081) is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior funding notice that serves as a public announcement of the agency's intent to make a single award. It is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award" and, importantly, it is not a request for applications. In other words, this posting is not inviting proposals from the public or opening a competitive process; it is documenting that NPS plans to fund a specific partner for a defined set of project activities.
The funding will be issued as a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates an assistance relationship where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the supported activities (as opposed to a simple pass-through grant with minimal federal engagement). The planned recipient is the Baltimore Heritage Area Association, referenced as the cooperator under Cooperative Agreement P11AC40579. The opportunity is categorized under Humanities (with a reference to Cultural Affairs in the CFDA context) and is tied to CFDA number 15.939, National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance.
Financially, the notice describes a total estimated funding amount of $147,000, and it is structured as a single award with both the award ceiling and floor set at $147,000, meaning the amount is fixed rather than a range. The posting states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award. The opportunity indicates an expected number of awards of one, consistent with the non-competitive nature of the announcement.
Eligibility information is included in the listing, noting nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) as eligible applicants. However, in practice, the notice clarifies that the agency intends to fund the named organization without full and open competition, so the eligibility language is more a standard field in the listing than an invitation for other organizations to apply.
Timing details show the notice was posted on August 5, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 11, 2011, and an archive date of August 12, 2011. These dates function mainly as administrative milestones for the public notice rather than an application window, since the announcement is not soliciting proposals. For anyone unable to access the full announcement attachments, the contact provided is Peggy Wall, Administrative Officer, reachable by phone at 410-260-2473, associated with the Baltimore Heritage Area.
