Opportunity Summary:
The grant listing titled "Crossroads of the American Revolution Association, Inc." (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0021) is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement notice that serves mainly as a public announcement rather than an open competition. It explicitly states multiple times that this is not a request for applications and that the award had already been designated for a single organization: the Crossroads of the American Revolution Association, Inc., the coordinating entity for the Crossroads of the American Revolution National Heritage Area (NHA). In other words, the posting functions as a transparency and documentation step for a mandatory award, not a chance for new applicants to apply.
The program falls under CFDA 15.939, National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance, and it supports work connected to a congressionally recognized National Heritage Area. The expected number of awards is one, and the funding amount is fixed: an estimated total of $300,000 with both the award ceiling and award floor set at $300,000. The notice also indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind support consistent with the terms of the agreement and applicable NPS requirements.
The purpose of the cooperative agreement is to fund and guide the Association's ongoing responsibilities for managing and advancing the National Heritage Area in alignment with its authorizing legislation and with Annual Work Plans and Budgets. The scope of supported activities is broad but clearly tied to core NHA functions. These include operations and development projects that keep the heritage area functioning effectively; management planning efforts that refine or implement the approved management plan; interpretation and education activities that help the public understand the region's Revolutionary War history and its significance; and site preservation work intended to protect and sustain historic resources and related places that contribute to the heritage area.
A central expectation spelled out in the notice is collaboration. The Association must include units of local government, regional planning organizations, and nonprofit organizations when implementing the approved management plan. This reflects the typical NHA model, which relies on partnerships and shared stewardship rather than federal ownership or direct federal management of sites. Alongside planning and preservation goals, the Association is also tasked with encouraging economic viability in ways that remain consistent with the purposes of the National Heritage Corridor/Heritage Area framework. Practically, that often means supporting heritage tourism, downtown revitalization tied to historic assets, educational programming that draws visitors, and other locally driven economic activity that does not undermine preservation or the heritage mission.
The notice also emphasizes compliance obligations. The Association must comply with all relevant state and federal laws, specifically naming the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). This signals that even though the work is carried out by a nonprofit partner, federally funded activities still need appropriate environmental review where applicable and must take historic preservation responsibilities seriously, including consideration of impacts to historic properties and coordination consistent with federal standards.
Key administrative details show that the announcement was posted and created on May 8, 2014, with an original and current closing date of May 14, 2014, and an archive date of May 15, 2014. Those dates do not indicate an application deadline in the usual sense, because the award was already designated, but rather reflect the posting lifecycle in the grants system. Eligibility is listed as 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), yet the eligibility language reiterates that the designated recipient is the Crossroads of the American Revolution Association, Inc., making it clear that the listing is not meant to solicit proposals from other organizations.
