Opportunity Summary:
The Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area grant opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to award funding for work connected to the Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area (NHA). Rather than being a typical open, competitive grant program, this announcement mainly serves as a public notification that NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities without full and open competition. The planned award would be made under Task Agreement J1792100001 through Cooperative Agreement H1792100002, with the designated cooperating organizations: the Hudson River Valley Greenway Communities Council and the Greenway Heritage Conservancy HRV, Inc.
This National Heritage Area was established by Congress in 1996 under the Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area Act (Public Law 104-333). The program is managed jointly by the Hudson River Valley Greenway Communities Council and the Greenway Conservancy, working together through a Heritage Area Committee. A central requirement set by Congress is the development and implementation of a management plan for the Heritage Area. The funded work supported by this opportunity is tied to those statutory responsibilities, meaning the program focuses on planning, coordination, and implementation activities that advance the Heritage Area's goals and partnerships across the region.
The announcement explains how federal funds can be used under the authorizing law. The management entities are allowed to use federal support to prepare and carry out the management plan, including making loans and grants, entering into cooperative agreements with states, local governments, private organizations, or individuals, and hiring and paying staff as needed. At the same time, there is a key restriction: federal funds provided under the Heritage Area's authorizing act cannot be used to acquire real property or any interest in real property. In practice, that means the money is intended for program delivery, coordination, technical assistance, partnerships, and heritage-related community development activities rather than land purchases.
Financially, NPS indicated an intended award amount of $524,000, with the award floor and ceiling both listed as $524,000, signaling a single expected award at a fixed amount. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement (not a standard grant), which generally implies substantial federal involvement or collaboration during the project. The opportunity is categorized under community development, and it is associated with CFDA 15.904, Historic Preservation Fund Grants-in-Aid. The posting timeline shows it was posted April 26, 2010, created April 23, 2010, and closed May 2, 2010, with an archive date of May 3, 2010. Cost sharing or matching was not required.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but the substance of the notice makes clear that this particular action is a non-competitive intent to fund the named cooperator organizations administering the Hudson River Valley NHA. For questions, the NPS point of contact is Roy Navik (NPS Northeast Region, 200 Chestnut Street, 3rd Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19106; phone 303-988-0391). For help accessing the full announcement electronically, the notice provides a contracting contact: Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, at 215-597-0056.
