Opportunity Summary:
The "Fort McHenry - Hold the Fort" learning game opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior funding notice that serves as a public announcement of the agency's intent to make a single award, rather than an open call for proposals. The notice is explicitly labeled as a "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD" and states that it is not a request for applications, meaning organizations are not being invited to compete for this funding through a standard competitive grant process.
This action is being issued under a Cooperative Agreement funding instrument, with the work categorized under the Education activity area. The NPS indicates it plans to fund specific project activities through Task Agreement J4340100621 under an existing Cooperative Agreement (H4340100619) with the Living Classrooms Foundation. In practical terms, this means the NPS is continuing or expanding work with a named partner under an established agreement framework, and the notice is primarily meant to document that intent publicly and transparently, including the rationale that the award will be made "without full and open competition."
The opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $150,000, and the award floor and ceiling are both set at $150,000, signaling a fixed, single-award amount rather than a range. The expected number of awards is one. The posting date and creation date are both July 13, 2010, with a closing date of July 18, 2010, and an archive date of July 19, 2010. Even though a closing date is shown, the notice makes clear that the posting is not structured as an application window for competing submissions, but instead as a formal notice tied to the planned award action.
A cost-sharing or matching requirement is indicated as "Yes," which suggests the project is expected to include some level of partner contribution (cash and/or in-kind support), although the exact match structure and allowability details would be contained in the attachment referenced in the full announcement. Eligible applicants are described broadly as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but because this is a notice of intent to award tied to a specific cooperator, the eligibility language functions more as standard catalog information than a solicitation for new applicants.
For anyone who cannot access the full announcement materials electronically, the contact listed is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist, at 215-597-6476. The notice also directs readers to the attachment under the "Full Announcement" section for complete details about the project activities and award specifics.
