Opportunity Summary:
The BLRI Anniversary Celebration Project (Funding Opportunity Number AH5140090098) was a National Park Service discretionary funding opportunity issued as a cooperative agreement within the Community Development activity category. The purpose of the award was narrowly defined: it provided FY09 funds authorized to the Blue Ridge Parkway Association to support activities connected to the 75th Anniversary of the Blue Ridge Parkway. In practical terms, this opportunity was designed to fund anniversary-related celebration, outreach, and commemorative efforts tied to the Parkway, reflecting a specific, time-bound initiative rather than an open-ended program.
This opportunity anticipated a single award, with total estimated funding of $304,000. The financial structure was fixed, with an award floor and award ceiling both set at $304,000, indicating the agency expected to make one award at that exact amount rather than offering a range of possible award sizes. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility for the opportunity was limited to state governments, even though the description notes the funds were authorized to the Blue Ridge Parkway Association. This suggests the announcement may have been posted to formalize or administratively route the funding under applicable assistance rules, with eligibility constrained to a particular applicant type consistent with how the project was being implemented or sponsored. The CFDA listing was shown as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which typically indicates the award did not align cleanly with a standard, named CFDA program number at the time of posting.
Key dates show this was a short-window announcement: it was posted on October 23, 2009 (created October 20, 2009) with an original and current closing date of October 28, 2009, and it was later archived on November 27, 2009. The short application period reinforces that this was a targeted, pre-planned award rather than a broad competitive solicitation.
For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Cheryl Richardson, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 404-507-5747 or by email at cherylrichardson@nps.gov.
