Opportunity Summary:

The Baltimore National Heritage Area opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0064) is a National Park Service notice explaining that a single cooperative agreement award has already been selected, rather than an open call for proposals. In other words, it is not a competitive grant application opportunity. The designated recipient is the Baltimore Heritage Area Association (BHAA), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and the notice functions mainly as a formal public announcement and record of the intended federal financial assistance.

The purpose of the award is to support BHAA in carrying out programs and projects that recognize, protect, and enhance the key resource values of the Baltimore National Heritage Area. The work described centers on public interpretation and education, including establishing and maintaining interpretive exhibits and programs throughout the heritage area and increasing public awareness and appreciation of the area’s natural, historic, scenic, and cultural resources. It also includes activities aimed at protecting and restoring historic sites and buildings, as long as those efforts align with the heritage area’s themes and overall interpretive direction.

Another major focus is partnership-building and coordinated planning. The announcement emphasizes promoting a wide range of partnerships among governments, organizations, and individuals to advance the heritage area’s purposes. It also highlights the need to consider the interests of diverse units of government, businesses, organizations, and individuals when preparing and implementing the heritage area management plan, underscoring that the heritage area approach depends on collaboration across many stakeholders rather than a single entity acting alone.

From an administrative standpoint, the award is issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency compared with a standard grant. The program is listed under CFDA 15.939 (National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance). The notice anticipates one award with total funding of $78,000, and both the award ceiling and floor are $78,000, indicating a fixed award amount. Cost sharing or matching is required. The opportunity was posted and created on June 28, 2013, with a closing date of July 2, 2013, and an archive date of July 3, 2013; these dates reflect the administrative posting window for the announcement rather than a period for accepting applications, since the recipient had already been chosen.

For questions or access issues related to the announcement, the listed contact is Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, at 215-597-9153, associated with BHAA.
