Opportunity Summary:
The National Shrine of the Bill of Rights grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 12 NERO 0008) is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior notice stating the agency's intent to make an award rather than an open call for proposals. The announcement is explicitly labeled as a "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD" and makes clear that it is not a request for applications. In practical terms, this means the NPS is not seeking new applicants or competing proposals; instead, it is publicly documenting that it plans to continue funding an existing partnership arrangement.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the project when compared to a standard grant. The opportunity is categorized as continuation funding, reflecting that it is tied to an existing agreement rather than the creation of a new, competitively selected project. Specifically, the notice concerns Modification 0005 to Cooperative Agreement H1890090002, and the named cooperator is The Society of the National Shrine of the Bill of Rights at St. Paul's Church, Inc. The funding activity category is listed as education, which signals that the supported work is expected to involve educational programming, interpretation, outreach, or related public engagement activities associated with the National Shrine of the Bill of Rights.
Financially, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $281,000, with an award ceiling of $281,000 and an award floor of $59,122. While eligible applicants are described in the standard eligibility field as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the core message of the notice is that there will be only one expected award and it is intended for the identified cooperator without full and open competition. The notice also states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the federal support.
The posting date and creation date are both December 19, 2011, with an original and current closing date of December 23, 2011, and an archive date of December 24, 2011. Those dates are largely procedural here because the notice does not invite applications; the "closing date" functions more like an administrative endpoint for the public notice listing rather than a deadline for submissions.
For anyone seeking the full details of the planned work under the modification, the announcement directs readers to the attachment located under the "Full Announcement" section of the listing. If access issues arise, the contact person provided is Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, at 215-597-0056.
