Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior funding action for the National Coal Heritage Area, but it is not an open grant competition. It is a formal "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning the NPS is publicly announcing that it plans to make an award without full and open competition by adding funds to an already existing cooperative agreement (Cooperative Agreement H4511100001) with the National Coal Heritage Area Authority. In practical terms, the agency is not asking for new applications; it is documenting its intent to continue funding specific heritage-area project activities through an established partner relationship.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 11 NERO 0010 and is categorized as a mandatory notice tied to a cooperative agreement rather than a discretionary, competitive grant solicitation. The associated CFDA number is 15.939 (National Heritage Area), and the funding activity category is identified as "National Heritage Area." Only one award was expected, consistent with the intent to fund a specific existing recipient rather than select among multiple applicants.
The total funding amount identified is $302,000, and both the award floor and award ceiling are also $302,000, which signals a fixed, single award amount rather than a range. The listing indicates there is a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or allowable in-kind contributions) to meet the agreement's matching terms, although the exact match ratio or allowable sources would be detailed in the full attachment referenced in the announcement.
Eligibility is shown as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). However, because this is not a request for applications and the intent is to add funds to an existing cooperative agreement with the National Coal Heritage Area Authority, this eligibility field should be read as general program eligibility rather than an invitation for other organizations to apply.
Key dates reflect the administrative posting window rather than a true application period: it was posted on December 15, 2010, with an original and current closing date of December 20, 2010, and archived on December 21, 2010. These dates align with the nature of an intent-to-award notice, where the purpose is transparency about a planned noncompetitive action rather than collecting proposals.
For anyone needing the full details (including the specific project activities to be funded and the noncompetitive justification), the notice points readers to an attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link. The contact listed for access issues is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
