Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior funding announcement titled "Freedom s Way National Heritage Area" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 11 NERO 0012). It is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not an open call for proposals and not a request for applications. Instead, the purpose is to publicly document the NPS decision to provide funding without full and open competition by adding funds to an already-existing cooperative agreement (Cooperative Agreement H4506098051) with the Freedom s Way Heritage Association.
The opportunity is categorized as a mandatory award using a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates a partnership-style federal assistance instrument where substantial involvement by the federal agency is expected in carrying out the funded work. The activity falls under the National Heritage Area program (CFDA 15.939), and the listing identifies the funding activity category as "Other," clarified in the announcement as National Heritage Area-related work. In practical terms, this means the funding supports activities tied to the management, interpretation, preservation, and public engagement goals typically associated with congressionally designated National Heritage Areas, carried out through the designated local coordinating entity.
The funding details are very specific: the NPS expected to make one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $150,000. Both the award ceiling and floor are listed as $150,000, signaling a single, fixed funding amount rather than a range. The listing also indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, so the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash, in-kind, or other allowable match) consistent with the terms of the cooperative agreement and applicable federal requirements.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which aligns with the fact that the intended recipient is the Freedom s Way Heritage Association. Because this is a non-competitive intent-to-award notice tied to an existing agreement, the eligibility statement functions more as program context than an invitation for new applicants. Key dates show it was posted and created on December 15, 2010, with an original and current closing date of December 20, 2010, and archived on December 21, 2010, reflecting that the notice period was short and primarily for public transparency rather than application intake.
For anyone needing the complete details, the announcement directs readers to the attachment under the "Full Announcement" link in Grants.gov. Administrative contact information is provided for access issues: Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
