Opportunity Summary:
The Keweenaw Heritage Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number A6410091000) is a discretionary National Park Service grant program connected to Keweenaw National Historical Park and the Keweenaw NHP Advisory Commission Partner Enhancement Grants (CFDA 15.407). The program is designed to provide enhancement funding for cultural conservation and heritage projects tied to properties and structures that are significant and located within the boundaries of Keweenaw National Historical Park. In practical terms, the grant is meant to help partners and eligible organizations protect, maintain, and interpret historic resources in the park area, while also improving how the public can access and experience those resources.
For the 2009 funding cycle, the National Park Service indicated it would support a wide range of preservation and heritage work. Eligible project types include, but are not limited to, historic facade rehabilitation, cyclical historic maintenance, historic landscape preservation, preservation planning and design activities, museum collections preservation and care, development of interpretive exhibits and programs, interpretive publications, and pilot projects that link sustainability with interpretation and preservation. While the program is broad, it also signals clear priorities: proposals that meaningfully address accessibility, safety, and sustainability are expected to receive greater consideration during review.
Projects funded under this opportunity are expected to start and be completed during 2009 and 2010, reflecting an emphasis on near-term, implementable work rather than long multi-year efforts. Individual award amounts are expected to fall between $1,000 and $50,000, with an estimated total funding pool of about $30,000 to $50,000 available in 2009 and an estimated total funding level listed at $50,000 overall. Approximately 10 awards were anticipated. Funding for successful applicants was typically expected to be available by October 1, 2009, which suggests awards were timed to align with the federal fiscal year.
A key requirement of this program is cost sharing: the park’s amended legislation requires a 1:1 cash match, meaning applicants must provide one dollar in cash match for every one dollar of National Park Service funds requested. This is not an in-kind match description in the summary provided; it is specifically identified as a cash match, which can affect budgeting and organizational readiness. Eligibility is listed as “Others,†with applicants directed to the Instructions to Applicants or CFDA 15.407 for the specific eligible applicant categories.
The announcement was posted June 3, 2009, with an application deadline of June 22, 2009, and an archive date of July 22, 2009. Questions or access issues related to the full announcement were directed to Tom Baker at 906-337-1104 ext. 131.
