Opportunity Summary:
The Delaware River Watershed Protection Initiative is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior, grant notice published as a Notice of Intent to Award. Rather than being a broad, open call for proposals, it functions primarily as a public notification that the NPS planned to make a specific award without full and open competition. The funding would be issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning the project would be carried out with substantial involvement from the NPS alongside the recipient, rather than as a more hands-off grant.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number NPS 10 NERO 0010 and is categorized under environmental activities. It anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with a total funding amount of $50,000. The award size was fixed, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $50,000, indicating there was no range of potential funding levels for this particular action. No cost sharing or matching funds were required from the recipient, which typically means the full project cost supported under this agreement could be covered by the federal funds, subject to the terms of the agreement and allowable cost rules.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, the text makes clear that the intended recipient was already selected: the cooperative agreement referenced is H4531100519, and the named cooperator is the Hunterdon Land Trust Alliance. In practical terms, this type of announcement is usually issued to satisfy transparency and administrative requirements when an agency intends to fund a particular partner organization directly, rather than running a competitive selection process.
The timeline reflects that limited purpose. The notice was posted and created on June 11, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 21, 2010, and an archive date of July 21, 2010. This short window is consistent with a notice meant to inform the public and document the agency intent, not to solicit many applications.
For anyone needing help obtaining the full announcement materials, the listed point of contact was Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476. The announcement also notes that additional details were available via an attachment under the "Full Announcement" section, implying that the specific project activities, scope, and deliverables were described in that supplementary document.
