Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior funding announcement for the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Area, posted under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 11 NERO 0013. It is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award and not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not seeking competitive proposals from the public. Instead, the agency is announcing its intention to make an award without full and open competition by adding funds to an existing cooperative agreement (Cooperative Agreement H4920100001) with Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor, Inc., the nonprofit organization associated with the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Area.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the supported work compared to a standard grant. The opportunity falls under the National Heritage Area assistance listing (CFDA 15.939), and the category is described as “National Heritage Area,” with the funding activity otherwise classified as “Other” as clarified in the listing. The announcement anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with total estimated funding of $651,000. Both the award ceiling and award floor are listed as $651,000, which signals the planned award amount is fixed rather than a range.
Eligibility, as stated in the source data, is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). In practice, because this is a non-competitive intent-to-award notice tied to a specific existing cooperative agreement, it functions as a public transparency posting rather than an open opportunity where multiple eligible organizations could apply. The notice also indicates there is a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or allowable in-kind support) as part of the overall project cost, though the exact match ratio and acceptable forms of match would typically be detailed in the full announcement attachment.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on December 15, 2010, with an original and current closing date of December 20, 2010, and an archive date of December 21, 2010. These dates align with the idea that this posting is primarily for notification and administrative processing rather than a standard application window. For full details, the announcement directs readers to the attachment available through the “Full Announcement” link on Grants.gov. For access issues or questions, the listed contact is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
