Opportunity Summary:

The Emancipation Proclamation Commemoration in BOST grant opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) funding notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0026. It is categorized as a continuation action and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, meaning the NPS is not simply providing a pass-through grant but is typically involved in some level of project coordination or oversight as the work is carried out. The activity category is listed under Education and Humanities, aligned with cultural affairs and cultural resources management (CFDA 15.946).

A key point of this announcement is that it is a Notice of Intent to Award and explicitly not a request for applications. In practical terms, that means the NPS was signaling to the public that it intended to fund a specific set of project activities without conducting a full, open competitive process. The notice indicates that the funding would be provided by adding additional funds to an existing cooperative agreement identified as P12AC31114, rather than creating a brand-new, openly competed award. The detailed scope of work and project specifics were said to be available in an attachment included with the full announcement materials.

The total anticipated funding amount was $54,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor were also set at $54,000, which strongly suggests a single, fixed-size award rather than a range of possible funding levels. Only one award was expected. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.

Eligibility was limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. Even though eligibility is stated, the non-competitive nature of the notice indicates the NPS already had an intended recipient or partner in mind under the existing cooperative agreement and was posting the notice largely for transparency and compliance purposes rather than to solicit new proposals.

The notice was posted on April 25, 2013, with an original and current closing date of April 30, 2013, and it was archived on May 1, 2013. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-0056.
