Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperating Technical Partners (CTP) Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 11 MT 045 006 99) is a discretionary federal funding announcement administered through a cooperative agreement, listed under CFDA 97.045. In plain terms, it is designed to financially support organizations that already participate in FEMA's CTP Program so they can carry out program management work and flood mapping-related activities that are laid out in the CTP program guidance for each fiscal year. The overall intent is to strengthen and sustain the partner network that helps identify flood hazards and flood risk, which ties directly to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and the broader goal of improving flood hazard data and related products used by communities.
The core purpose is capacity and execution: FEMA is providing funds so existing CTP partners can perform specific, defined activities rather than starting from scratch. The announcement emphasizes that funded work includes both program management and mapping-related tasks, with the exact scope guided by annual program direction. While flood mapping and related technical products are a common focus, the opportunity explicitly notes that eligible projects or initiatives may or may not involve geospatial issues. That means applicants could potentially propose work that supports flood hazard and risk identification even if it is not strictly a GIS or mapping deliverable, as long as it aligns with the CTP guidance and program objectives.
Eligibility is limited to organizations that are already CTP partners and that either are an NFIP community in good standing or represent an NFIP community in good standing. Beyond that status requirement, applicants must be able to demonstrate they have the capability to perform the funded activities and, importantly, that they already have non-federally funded processes and/or systems in place that support work contributing to flood hazard and risk identification. This requirement signals that FEMA expects applicants to have an operational foundation and ongoing capacity independent of this award, with federal funds used to augment and accelerate work rather than build basic infrastructure from the ground up.
The eligible applicant categories listed include state governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, county governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that nonprofit category). The opportunity is associated with FEMA Region 6 as the issuing agency office in the listing. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates FEMA expects a more active federal role in shaping, monitoring, or collaborating on the work compared with a standard grant, often involving substantial involvement such as technical coordination, review, or shared decision-making during implementation.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $69,000,000 and an expectation of approximately 50 awards. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, which means applicants are not required by the announcement to provide a specific percentage of non-federal match as a condition of receiving funds, although recipients would still be expected to meet any standard federal grant management and allowability requirements that apply to cooperative agreements.
Key administrative dates in the announcement show it was posted and created on August 11, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 26, 2011, and an archive date of September 25, 2011. Additional details and the full announcement were made available through Grants.gov, and a contact is provided for technical difficulty accessing the full posting: the Systems and Business Support Branch at FEMA via the email address Systems Branch@fema.gov.
