Opportunity Summary:
The Essex National Heritage Area grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 10 NERO 0073) is a National Park Service notice of intent to award funding under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is labeled as an earmark and will be issued through a cooperative agreement for activities categorized under the environment. A key point is that this announcement is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that NPS intends to provide funding to support specified project activities without full and open competition, meaning the agency has already identified the recipient and is moving forward with an award action rather than running a competitive grant process.
The funding is structured as an addition of funds to an existing arrangement, specifically adding money to Task Agreement J1901100001 under Cooperative Agreement H1901080001. In practical terms, that indicates an ongoing partnership or project is already in place, and NPS is increasing the funding level for continued or expanded work rather than starting a brand-new competitively awarded project. The announcement notes that complete details are contained in an attachment accessible under the "Full Announcement" section, which would typically describe the project scope, deliverables, budget breakdown, period of performance, and the rationale for proceeding noncompetitively.
Financially, the opportunity reflects a single expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $671,000. The award ceiling and award floor are both listed as $671,000, which generally signals a fixed intended award amount rather than a range. The listing also states there is a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind support) toward the overall project cost, though the exact percentage or terms would be defined in the attached documentation or in the underlying cooperative agreement.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. Because this is a notice of intent to award rather than an open solicitation, the eligibility information is best read as describing the type of entity that the intended recipient falls under, not as an invitation for other organizations to apply. The associated CFDA number is shown as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which is sometimes used in listings where the activity does not cleanly map to a standard CFDA program entry in the posted record.
The posting and timing details show it was posted on September 27, 2010, with an original and current closing date of October 1, 2010, and an archive date of October 2, 2010. Those dates align with the idea that the notice is administrative and informational, not a multi-week application window. For technical issues accessing the full announcement materials, the contact listed is Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, at 215-597-0056.
