Opportunity Summary:
The "Johnstown Area preservation and heritage - Johnstown, PA" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 12 NERO 0009) is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior notice stating the agencys intent to provide additional funding to a specific existing partner for heritage conservation work in the Johnstown area. It is explicitly labeled as a NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD and, importantly, it is not a request for applications. In other words, this posting is meant to inform the public that NPS plans to make an award action without opening a competitive application process.
The funding is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the supported work (for example, coordination, technical participation, or shared project oversight) rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The announcement indicates the action is a modification to an existing cooperative agreement, specifically Cooperative Agreement H4130070013, in order to add funds for continued or expanded project activities. The named recipient associated with that agreement is the Johnstown Area Heritage Association, a nonprofit organization.
The purpose of the funding is summarized in the listing as conservation of Johnstown Area heritage and preservation. The activity category is listed broadly as "Other," with the explanation clarifying that the work centers on heritage and preservation efforts tied to the Johnstown area. While the public posting does not spell out a detailed scope of work in the text shown, it directs interested parties to the attachment under the Full Announcement link for complete details on what specific project tasks or deliverables the added funds are intended to support.
Financially, the opportunity reflects a single expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $43,000. The award ceiling and award floor are both $43,000, indicating the amount is fixed rather than a range. A cost sharing or matching requirement is marked "Yes," meaning the project is expected to include some form of recipient contribution, whether cash or allowable in-kind support, consistent with the terms of the underlying cooperative agreement and the modification. The CFDA number is listed as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which often appears when a program does not map cleanly to a standard CFDA listing in the dataset or is categorized in a generic way for reporting.
In terms of eligibility, the listing identifies eligible applicants as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because the notice is not open for competition and is tied to a modification of an existing agreement, the practical implication is that the funding is intended for the current partner named in the announcement rather than new applicants.
The posting dates reflect a short public notice window: posted January 5, 2012, with a closing date of January 10, 2012, and archived January 11, 2012. Anyone needing help accessing the full announcement was directed to contact Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, at 215-597-6476.
