Opportunity Summary:
The Chesapeake Bay Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 10 NERO 0071) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding notice dated September 23, 2010. It is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning it is not an open call for proposals and not a request for applications. Instead, the purpose of the posting is to publicly announce the NPS intent to provide funding without full and open competition by issuing a modification (Modification 0001) under an existing cooperative agreement (H4507070600) with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. In other words, the federal agency is signaling that it plans to continue or adjust funding under a pre-existing partnership arrangement rather than soliciting new applicants through a competitive process.
The opportunity is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates substantial federal involvement in the supported activities compared to a standard grant. The activity area is environmental in nature, consistent with the Chesapeake Bay Program title, although the public summary provided here does not detail the specific on-the-ground project tasks beyond referencing "the following project activities" described in an attachment available through the full announcement link on Grants.gov. The posting indicates a single expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. The award floor and ceiling are both listed at $50,000, which strongly implies a fixed, predetermined award amount rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement identified for this award.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. Practically, however, because this notice is not a competitive solicitation and references an existing cooperative agreement with a named cooperator (the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation), the listing functions more as a transparency notice than as an opportunity for new eligible nonprofits to apply. The posting timeline reinforces that point: it was posted on September 23, 2010, with a closing date of September 29, 2010, and archived on September 30, 2010, reflecting an administrative notice window rather than a typical application period.
For anyone needing the official details, the announcement directs readers to the attachment under the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov. If there are issues accessing the full notice electronically, the contact provided is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
