Opportunity Summary:
The Maine Acadian Culture Project opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior funding notice related to Acadia National Park, Maine, identified on Grants.gov as Funding Opportunity Number NPS 12 NERO 0016. It is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning it is not an open call for proposals and not a request for applications. Instead, the purpose of the posting is to publicly document that the NPS intends to provide funding through a non-competitive action under an already-existing Cooperative Agreement (H1700080001) with the Maine Acadian Heritage Council.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the federal agency expects to be substantially involved in the project beyond simply issuing funds, such as coordinating activities, providing guidance, or collaborating on program execution. The planned work focuses on sustaining and promoting Maine Acadian culture through several program components. Activities described include creating training opportunities delivered through various subgrants, organizing a Speakers and Performers series, supporting local festivals, and publishing monthly newspaper columns that highlight Maine Acadian culture. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," with the clarification that it centers on cultural training, public programming, and outreach/communications efforts connected to Acadian heritage.
Financially, the posting indicates a single expected award with total estimated funding of $111,668, and both the award ceiling and floor set at $111,668, suggesting a fixed, pre-determined award amount rather than a range. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or in-kind, depending on the agreement terms) toward project costs. While the eligibility field lists 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education), the non-competitive nature of the notice signals that the intended recipient is the Maine Acadian Heritage Council under the referenced cooperative agreement, rather than a pool of applicants competing for the funds.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted February 10, 2012, with an original closing date of February 16, 2012, later reflected with a current closing date of April 22, 2012, and an archive date of April 23, 2012. These dates function more as administrative milestones for the public notice on Grants.gov than as application deadlines, because the notice is not soliciting applications. For access issues with the full announcement attachment or related documentation, the listed contact is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
