Opportunity Summary:
The "Journey Through Hallowed Ground" posting (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0070) is not a competitive grant solicitation and it is not inviting applications. Instead, it is an administrative public notice from the National Park Service (NPS) stating that an award has already been made to a specific partner and that the agreement is being modified to finalize federal fiscal year 2013 funding. In practical terms, the announcement functions more like a funding action notification than a typical grant opportunity, and the repeated language throughout the notice is meant to make it clear that there is no open application process associated with this listing.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates an assistance relationship where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the work, as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient typically has more independence. The activity is categorized under "Other," with the explanation clarifying that the purpose of the action is to complete ongoing work tied to the Journey Through Hallowed Ground initiative. The specific intent of the modification is to finalize FY13 funds to the Journey Through Hallowed Ground Partnership, Inc. under the second continuing resolution, meaning the funding is being aligned and released consistent with federal stopgap budget authority in place at that time.
Only one award is anticipated and, based on the structure of the notice, that award is effectively already committed. The estimated total funding amount is $78,000, and both the award ceiling and floor are also listed as $78,000, reinforcing that the amount is fixed rather than a range. The listing also indicates that cost sharing or matching is required, so the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or allowable in-kind support) in accordance with the terms of the cooperative agreement.
The assistance listing references CFDA number 15.939, "National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance," which situates the project within the broader federal support framework for national heritage areas and related partnership-driven heritage conservation, interpretation, and education efforts. Eligibility is described as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but in context this eligibility statement is largely procedural because the notice emphasizes that the award has already been assigned to the cooperator, namely the Journey Through Hallowed Ground Partnership, Inc.
Key dates also reflect its announcement nature rather than a true application window. The posting and creation date are July 8, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 12, 2013, and an archive date of July 13, 2013. These short timelines are consistent with a record-keeping or public-notice requirement rather than a period for proposal development and submission.
For questions or issues accessing the announcement, the listed contact is Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, at 215-597-9153, with a reference to "JTHG," indicating the Journey Through Hallowed Ground context. Overall, the notice is best understood as the National Park Service formally documenting a finalized FY13 funding action under a cooperative agreement for an existing partner to continue or complete approved work connected to the Journey Through Hallowed Ground initiative.
