Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service announced a mandatory cooperative agreement funding opportunity titled "Crossroads of the American Revolution Association, Inc." (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 13 NERO 0009) to support work within the Crossroads of the American Revolution National Heritage Area (XRDS) in New Jersey. This National Heritage Area was authorized by Congress in 2006 under Public Law 109-338 with the core purpose of preserving and protecting cultural, historic, and natural resources connected to the Revolutionary War period across the state, while also raising public recognition of those resources for education and recreation for current and future generations.
The grant focuses on helping communities, organizations, and residents across New Jersey maintain and strengthen the state's historic identity and its significance to the broader American Revolution story. A major theme of the opportunity is partnership-building: it emphasizes close coordination among federal, state, and local governments, private-sector partners, and local communities. The funded work is meant to support coordinated management, preservation, protection, and interpretation of Revolutionary War era resources so they can be used in meaningful ways for learning, public inspiration, and long-term stewardship.
A key objective highlighted in the announcement is strengthening Morristown National Historic Park's value as a statewide asset by linking it to a wider network of related places and programs. That network concept includes connected historic sites, preserved landscapes, interpretive and educational opportunities, and public events that collectively help people understand what New Jersey looked like during the American Revolution and why it mattered. The opportunity also stresses developing partnerships not only with Morristown National Historic Park, but also with other publicly and privately owned resources throughout the Heritage Area that together represent what the announcement describes as a strategic "fulcrum" of the American Revolution.
Administratively, this opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the National Park Service would expect to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant. The funding activity categories listed are education, environment, and natural resources, reflecting the broad mix of preservation, interpretation, and public engagement work typical of National Heritage Area programs. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance listing provided is CFDA 15.939 (National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance), and the opportunity required cost sharing or matching funds, so the recipient would need to contribute non-federal resources toward the project.
In terms of scale and competitiveness, the announcement anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with total estimated funding of $72,000. The award floor and ceiling were both set at $72,000, indicating the award amount was effectively fixed for the selected recipient. Eligibility was limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), aligning with the named focus on the Crossroads of the American Revolution Association and its role within the Heritage Area.
The notice was posted and created on March 8, 2013, with an original and current closing date of April 6, 2013, and it was archived on April 7, 2013. The listed point of contact for assistance accessing the full announcement was Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-9153, associated with the Crossroads of the American Revolution Association.
