Opportunity Summary:
The John Smith Chesapeake Trail grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 10 NERO 0040) is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior notice announcing the agency's intent to make a single continuation award under a cooperative agreement. It is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award" and is not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not soliciting competing proposals through an open call. Instead, the posting serves as a public transparency notice that the agency plans to move forward with specific project activities and associated funding without full and open competition.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a partnership-style arrangement where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s execution rather than acting purely as a pass-through funder. The opportunity is categorized under the Environment funding activity area and is described as continuation funding, signaling that it builds on or extends work previously supported rather than initiating a brand-new competitive program. The notice states that additional funds will be awarded under Task Agreement J4520100058, tied to Cooperative Agreement H4250090051, which indicates this is a modification or incremental funding action within an existing agreement framework rather than a standalone new award.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $130,000, with an award ceiling and floor both set at $130,000. That combination strongly implies the NPS anticipated exactly one award at a fixed amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. The expected number of awards is one, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide a required non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because this is not an application-based competition, the eligibility listing functions more as a formal descriptor of the recipient type the agency intends to fund rather than an invitation for new organizations to apply. The posting and administrative dates reflect its notice-only nature: it was posted and created on September 10, 2010, had a very short window through September 15, 2010, and was archived on September 16, 2010. Those timelines are consistent with a public notice requirement rather than a normal competitive grant cycle designed to collect and review proposals over weeks or months.
For parties seeking the full project scope and detailed activities, the notice points readers to an attachment available under the "Full Announcement" section. The provided contact for access issues is Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, at 215-597-0056.
