Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Crossroads of the American Revolution Association, Inc." (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0039) is not an open grant competition and is not inviting new applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice from the National Park Service that a cooperative agreement award has already been made to the Crossroads of the American Revolution Association, Inc. for work supporting the Crossroads of the American Revolution National Heritage Area (NHA). In other words, this posting functions more like an award announcement and record of federal assistance than a chance for outside organizations to apply.
The announcement indicates there is one expected award totaling $300,000, with both the award floor and ceiling set at $300,000, meaning the amount is fixed for this specific action. The assistance is issued as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically signals that the federal agency anticipates substantial involvement or collaboration in carrying out the funded activities rather than simply issuing a standard pass-through grant. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.939 (National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance). A cost sharing or matching requirement is listed as "Yes," implying the recipient must provide some level of non-federal contribution consistent with the terms of the agreement, though the specific match percentage or allowable sources are not detailed in the summary text provided.
The purpose of the awarded funds is to support the National Heritage Area in a way that aligns with the enabling legislation for the heritage area and with the recipient's Annual Work Plans and Budgets. The work is described across several core categories that are typical for National Heritage Area management entities: operations and development projects (the day-to-day and strategic work needed to run and strengthen the heritage area), management planning (planning documents and activities that guide long-term implementation), interpretation and education (programs and materials that help the public understand the Revolutionary War history and broader heritage themes of the region), and site preservation (activities that protect, conserve, or stabilize historic sites and related cultural resources).
A major implementation expectation is partnership-based delivery. The Crossroads of the American Revolution Association, Inc. is expected to include units of local government, regional planning organizations, and nonprofit organizations in carrying out the approved management plan. That emphasis reflects the National Heritage Area model, which relies on coordination among many local and regional partners rather than federal ownership or direct federal management of the sites. The announcement also highlights an economic development element: the recipient should encourage economic viability through appropriate means, but in a way that stays consistent with the purposes of the National Heritage Corridor/Heritage Area. Practically, that usually points to heritage tourism, downtown revitalization tied to historic resources, and other community benefits that flow from preservation and interpretation, while still protecting the integrity of the historic and cultural landscape.
The award comes with compliance obligations that are explicitly called out. The Association must comply with all applicable state and federal laws, including (but not limited to) the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). These requirements matter because planning, preservation, construction, interpretation installations, or site improvements can trigger environmental review, historic resource consultation, or related procedural steps. The inclusion of NEPA and NHPA language signals that even when projects are locally led, federal financial assistance can bring federal compliance responsibilities that must be addressed during implementation.
Administratively, the notice was posted and created on May 8, 2015, with an original and current closing date of May 17, 2015, and an archive date of May 18, 2015. In this context, those dates function more as the posting lifecycle for the announcement rather than an application deadline, since the announcement repeatedly states it is not a request for applications. The listed eligible applicant type is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (other than an institution of higher education), which fits the identity of the named recipient, but this eligibility category does not indicate that others could apply under this specific posting because the award has already been made.
