Opportunity Summary:
The Freedoms Way Heritage Association Management Plan opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior funding notice that serves as a public announcement of the government s intent to make a single, specific award. It is explicitly labeled a Notice of Intent to Award and not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not soliciting proposals from the public and is not running a competitive application process for this funding. Instead, the notice exists to document that the agency plans to move forward with a cooperative agreement action without full and open competition for defined project activities related to a management plan.
The planned award is tied to Task Agreement P12AC10532 under Cooperative Agreement H4506098051, with the intended cooperator identified as Freedom s Way Heritage Association, Inc. The activity is associated with the National Heritage Area program (CFDA 15.939), and the work falls within the broad funding activity categories of community development as well as environment and natural resources. In practical terms, this signals that the project is meant to support planning and coordination functions that help guide stewardship, interpretation, and community-based heritage work within the relevant heritage area, rather than funding a general pool of unrelated projects.
Financially, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of 147,000 dollars, with an award ceiling and award floor both set at 147,000 dollars, reinforcing that this is intended to be one fixed award of that amount. The expected number of awards is one. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, so the recipient is not expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award, at least as reflected in the summarized posting.
Although the listing includes an eligible applicant category of nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), the core message of the notice is that the NPS has already identified the recipient organization for this particular action. The posting dates also reflect that reality: it was posted on July 5, 2012, carried an original and current closing date of July 10, 2012, and was archived on July 11, 2012. Those short timelines are typical of intent-to-award notices because they function more as public documentation than as an application window.
For additional details beyond what is summarized in the notice text, the NPS directs readers to the attachment under the Full Announcement section. The contact listed for issues accessing the full announcement is Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-9153.
