Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Enhance Accessibility and Preservation of the Billings Family Archive, at Marsh Billings Rockefeller National Historical Park in Vermont," is a National Park Service (NPS) notice indicating the agency's intent to make a single award through a cooperative agreement. It is important to note that this is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award and not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not soliciting competitive proposals from the public. Instead, the announcement serves mainly as a transparency measure to inform the public that the NPS plans to fund specific project activities without full and open competition.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 11 NERO 0072 and was posted on July 21, 2011, with a very short public timeline before closing on July 26, 2011, and archiving on July 27, 2011. The funding is categorized as discretionary and will be provided via a cooperative agreement, which typically implies that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant. The stated activity focus is "Preservation of Archives," reflecting a project centered on archival stewardship rather than construction, research, or general operations.
Financially, the announcement indicates an estimated total funding amount of $75,000, with both the award ceiling and award floor set at $75,000. This signals that the NPS anticipated one fixed award at that amount rather than a range of possible awards. The Expected Awards field confirms this by listing a single anticipated award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education, and the NPS states its intention to enter into the cooperative agreement specifically with The Woodstock Foundation, Inc. Because the award is intended to be made without full and open competition, the announcement functions as a formal public notice of the agency's planned noncompetitive funding action rather than an invitation for other organizations to apply. The CFDA number is listed as 00.000 "Not Elsewhere Classified," which is sometimes used as a placeholder or for opportunities that do not map cleanly onto a single, established CFDA program line.
In practical terms, the project described by the title suggests work to improve both preservation and access for the Billings Family Archive connected to Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park in Vermont. While the announcement text does not list detailed tasks or deliverables in the excerpt provided, archival preservation and accessibility work under NPS partnerships commonly includes activities such as organizing and rehousing materials in archival-quality storage, improving environmental conditions and handling procedures, creating or updating inventories and finding aids, and potentially supporting digitization or other measures that make historical materials easier for staff, researchers, and the public to discover and use.
For anyone needing access to the full announcement but having difficulty retrieving it electronically, the listed point of contact is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
