Opportunity Summary:
The "Internship Program at HAFE" (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00018) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action tied to education and outreach work at Harpers Ferry National Historical Park (often abbreviated as HAFE). The funding is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in shaping, supporting, or overseeing the work carried out under the project rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant.
This particular posting is not an open, competitive opportunity for the public to apply to. It is explicitly identified as a single-source award intended for the Harpers Ferry Historical Association, and it is described as a continuation of an existing project rather than the start of a new competitive round. In practice, that means the announcement is mainly a formal notice documenting the government’s intent to fund the continuation of the internship program through a specific partner organization, rather than a call for new proposals.
The program is categorized under the National Park Service’s "Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education" assistance listing (CFDA 15.954), placing it within the NPS portfolio of projects that support public engagement, interpretation, resource stewardship, and educational programming. While the public-facing summary is brief, the title and category indicate the core purpose: supporting an internship program connected to Harpers Ferry National Historical Park. Internship programs in NPS settings commonly focus on building workforce skills, supporting park operations and interpretation, and providing structured learning experiences that align with the park mission and educational goals.
The estimated total federal funding listed for the action is $25,520, with an expected number of awards of one. The notice shows no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to provide a non-federal match as a condition of the award (at least as reflected in the summary data). The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which is a quirk that sometimes appears in postings that are not truly competitive solicitations; the meaningful number to focus on here is the estimated total funding amount and the single-award nature of the action.
Eligibility is shown broadly as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which is a standard eligibility category on Grants.gov. However, because this is a single-source continuation award, that eligibility line should not be read as an invitation for other organizations to apply. The posted and created dates are January 7, 2014, with an original and current closing date of January 9, 2014, reinforcing that this was a short administrative posting rather than a typical open application window.
For anyone needing documentation or having trouble accessing the full announcement, the listed federal contact is Rita Mihalik, Financial Assistance Officer, reachable at 301-432-7890 or ritamihalik@nps.gov. An additional information link is provided through Grants.gov (http://www.grants.gov), where the official record of the opportunity would be housed.
