Opportunity Summary:
The NCTA Cooperative Agreement (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI WASO 11 0006) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the National Park Service (NPS) under CFDA 15.946, Cultural Resources Management. The central purpose is to partner with a selected nonprofit recipient to strengthen and coordinate programs that connect individual national parks with cultural arts and heritage organizations and the surrounding local communities. Through that coordination, the agreement aims to improve how significant American cultural arts are identified, highlighted, and sustained over time, with a particular emphasis on keeping these traditions alive through public performance.
A key feature of the opportunity is its collaborative nature. Because it is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, NPS expects to be actively involved with the recipient as the work is carried out. The project concept focuses on building relationships and program structures that link parks, practitioners, and community-based cultural organizations, so that cultural traditions can be documented, interpreted for the public, and supported in ways that encourage ongoing practice rather than one-time preservation activities. In practical terms, this can include coordinated programming across multiple park units, joint planning with local cultural leaders, and public-facing performances or events that help transmit traditions and increase public awareness.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. The announcement indicates an expectation of one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning applicants would not be required to provide a formal match as a condition of receiving the award. The notice lists the estimated total funding, award ceiling, and award floor as 0, which typically signals that the specific funding amount was not stated in the public synopsis or was to be determined through the agreement process rather than advertised as a fixed amount.
The opportunity was posted on July 7, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 17, 2011, and it was archived on August 16, 2011. Questions or assistance accessing the full announcement were directed to Jennifer Gartzke, Contract Specialist, at 303-969-2755.
