Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a notice titled "Lower Delaware Scenic and Recreational River Land Preservation" under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 12 NERO 0099. This posting is not a request for applications and is not a competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it functions as a public notice that NPS intends to make (or continue) a single award without full and open competition. The action described is a modification to an existing cooperative agreement (Cooperative Agreement H4531100521) in order to continue previously authorized project work with a named partner, the Natural Lands Trust, Inc.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and will be implemented through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the project compared to a standard grant. The activity areas tied to the funding are education, environment, and natural resources, aligning with the land preservation and stewardship goals associated with the Maurice and Lower Delaware River corridor, a river area administered in part under the National Wild and Scenic Rivers framework.
Funding details in the notice indicate an expected single award totaling $35,660, with both the award ceiling and award floor set at $35,660, meaning the amount is fixed rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. Although the general eligibility field notes nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the notice makes clear that this specific action is intended to continue work with the existing cooperator, Natural Lands Trust, Inc., rather than invite proposals from additional organizations.
Key dates show the notice was posted on July 19, 2012, with a listed closing date of July 24, 2012, and an archive date of July 25, 2012. Because it is a notice of intent to award rather than an open competition, the "closing date" functions more like the end of the public notice period than an application deadline. For parties needing access to the full announcement materials, the NPS provided a contact: Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-9153, associated with the WSR Maurice and Lower Delaware River program.
