Opportunity Summary:
The Essex National Heritage Area opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0032) is a National Park Service cooperative agreement notice tied to CFDA 15.939 (National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance). It is not an open grant competition and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a formal public announcement that a single award has already been designated for the Essex National Heritage Commission, Inc., a nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status. The notice was posted on June 3, 2014, carried an original and current closing date of June 8, 2014, and was archived on June 9, 2014, reflecting that the administrative posting period has ended.
Financially, the announcement specifies one expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $628,000. Both the award ceiling and floor are listed as $628,000, indicating the amount is fixed rather than a range. The opportunity also indicates a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind support) consistent with the cooperative agreement terms and the National Heritage Area program’s typical partnership-oriented structure.
Programmatically, the purpose of the award is to support the Essex National Heritage Commission, Inc. in carrying out its legislated mission across the Essex National Heritage Area through regional and local partnerships. The work emphasized in the announcement includes coordinating activities throughout the heritage area to preserve and enhance heritage resources, educate residents and visitors about the area’s national and regional significance, and rehabilitate or develop heritage-related assets. A specific example named is the Border to Boston Trail, highlighting recreational and interpretive infrastructure as part of the broader heritage development strategy.
The award also supports community engagement and stewardship by encouraging participation from individuals and organizations, along with organizing both regional and site-specific events. A key focal point is collaboration with the National Park Service at Salem Maritime National Historic Site and Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site. The intention is to develop programs that increase attention to these NPS units, attract new audiences, and expand interpretation not only at the sites themselves but across the surrounding region, reinforcing the heritage area model that links nationally significant places with local partners, programming, and public access.
