Opportunity Summary:
The Maurice River, Lower Delaware River, White Clay Creek National Wild and Scenic Conservation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 10 NERO 0076) is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is not a competitive grant solicitation and it is not requesting applications. Instead, it serves as a public notification that NPS intended to make a single discretionary award through a cooperative agreement for environmental conservation work tied to designated National Wild and Scenic River areas, specifically the Maurice River, the Lower Delaware River, and White Clay Creek.
The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means NPS expected to have substantial involvement in the supported activities rather than simply issuing funds with minimal federal participation. The announcement states that NPS planned to fund project activities without full and open competition under Cooperative Agreement H4531100521, naming Natural Lands Trust, Inc. as the cooperating partner. The eligible applicant category listed is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but in practice this notice is oriented around a specific intended recipient rather than an open call for new applicants.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $1,658,900 and indicates a cost sharing or matching requirement. At the same time, it shows an award floor and ceiling of $66,500, with one expected award. Taken together, those figures suggest that the posted grant record may reflect a particular increment, budget period, or component within a broader funding picture, while the larger total likely references an overall program or cumulative funding expectation associated with the project activities described in the full attachment.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on September 27, 2010, with an original and current closing date of October 1, 2010, and an archive date of October 2, 2010. Because it is a notice of intent rather than a solicitation, the "closing date" functions more like an administrative posting window than a deadline for submitting applications.
For anyone trying to access the complete specifics, the announcement directs readers to the attachment under the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov for the detailed Notice of Intent to Award. If there are issues accessing the materials electronically, the point of contact listed is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
