Opportunity Summary:
The National Shrine of the Bill of Rights funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0008) is a National Park Service notice stating its intent to add funding to an existing cooperative agreement, rather than opening a new competitive grant round. The announcement is explicitly labeled as a "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD" and includes a clear warning that it is not a request for applications. In practical terms, that means outside organizations are not being invited to apply, and the funding is being directed to a specific existing partner through a modification of an already-established agreement.
This action falls under the continuation category and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the supported activities (as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient operates more independently). The project’s activity category is listed as education, and the funding is tied to the National Park Service program identified by CFDA number 15.954, described as National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education. The named partner is the Society of the National Shrine of the Bill of Rights at St. Paul s Church, Eastchester Inc., and the modification adds funds to Cooperative Agreement P09AC00189 (formerly H1890090002). The notice also mentions that full project details are provided in an attachment accessible through the full announcement page.
Financially, the announcement indicates a single expected award, with total estimated funding of 170,250 dollars. Both the award ceiling and award floor are the same amount, 170,250 dollars, which signals that the amount is fixed rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to contribute additional non-federal funds to receive or use the federal support described in the notice.
Although the eligible applicant category is listed generally as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the structure and wording of the notice make it clear that eligibility is not the same as an open invitation. Because this is a non-competitive continuation action tied to a specific cooperative agreement and a specific cooperator, other nonprofits would not have an application pathway through this posting. The dates reinforce that this is an administrative public notice rather than a competitive cycle: it was posted and created on April 16, 2014, had an original and current closing date of April 20, 2014, and was archived on April 21, 2014.
For administrative questions, the contact listed is Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, with a phone number provided (215 597 0056). The notice also notes that anyone having trouble accessing the full announcement electronically should reach out to that contact, implying that the substantive scope of work, deliverables, and other agreement terms are contained in the attached materials referenced in the full announcement.
