Opportunity Summary:
The New Bedford Whaling NHP Seamen's Bethel Restoration opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 10 NERO 0052) is a National Park Service notice of intent to award funding for a specific preservation project connected to New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park. It is explicitly not an open call for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notification that the NPS plans to make a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement award tied to an identified partner and a defined scope of work related to restoration activities at the Seamen's Bethel, a historic resource strongly associated with New Bedford's whaling-era heritage.
The award instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the project (as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient operates more independently). The planned agreement is identified as Cooperative Agreement H1842100400, and the intended cooperator is the New Bedford Port Society. The opportunity is categorized under the Environment funding activity area, reflecting the NPS preservation and stewardship mission, even though the work is fundamentally cultural and historic resource restoration in nature.
In terms of funding, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $121,319, while also specifying an award ceiling of $50,000 and an award floor of $50,000, indicating an expected single award at exactly $50,000 under this particular notice. The listing also states that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or allowable in-kind support) toward the overall project costs. Only one award is anticipated.
Eligibility, as presented in the source data, is limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because this is a notice of intent to award without full and open competition, the eligibility field does not function like it would in a typical competitive program; it mainly reflects the category of entity associated with the planned recipient rather than inviting other organizations to apply. The NPS posted and created the notice on September 16, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 21, 2010, and an archive date of September 22, 2010, consistent with a short administrative posting window for a pre-identified award.
Anyone looking for the full details is directed to the attachment available via the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov, which would contain the specific project activities, terms, and justification for the non-competitive approach. For assistance obtaining the full announcement or if there are issues accessing it electronically, the contact listed is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist, at 215-597-6476.
