Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service FY 2014 Implementation of Management Plan grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00776) was issued by the National Park Service as a discretionary funding opportunity focused on natural resources work connected to the implementation of an approved management plan. The listing is framed as a notice of intent rather than an open, competitive solicitation, meaning the agency is signaling its plan to make an award to a specific recipient or within a very limited scope, instead of inviting broad competition. The opportunity is tied to CFDA 15.939, National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance, which generally supports activities that help plan for, conserve, interpret, and promote nationally significant landscapes and heritage resources through partnership-driven efforts.
The award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work beyond simply issuing funds and receiving reports. In practice, that can mean coordination on work planning, review of deliverables, participation in technical discussions, and ongoing collaboration to ensure the project aligns with federal requirements and the underlying management plan goals. The notice explicitly states the award is noncompetitive under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). That citation is used when the Department determines a competitive process is not appropriate or is otherwise waived under a recognized exception, often because there is a unique recipient, a legislatively identified partner, an existing relationship requiring continuity, or other circumstances that justify a directed award.
Funding details indicate an estimated total of $150,000 with an expectation of a single award (Expected Awards: 1). Both the award ceiling and award floor are listed as $0, which usually reflects that the specific dollar amount and/or allowable range is not being expressed through the system fields and instead is described in the attached announcement or in agency internal documentation. The listing also indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would not be required to contribute a non-federal share as a condition of receiving the funds, although voluntary contributions or leveraged partner support could still be relevant depending on the project design described in the management plan.
Eligibility is limited in the posting to nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education. Since this is a notice of intent for a noncompetitive award, the eligibility field may be somewhat technical and may not represent an open invitation; instead, it often reflects how the intended recipient is categorized in federal assistance systems. The timeline was very short: posted May 30, 2014, with a closing date of June 3, 2014, and an archive date of July 3, 2014. Short windows like this are common for noncompetitive notices because the goal is primarily to satisfy public notice requirements and document the agency’s intent rather than run a full competitive application process.
For additional details, the announcement directs interested parties to the attached documentation and provides a point of contact for access issues: Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at (303) 969-2303.
