Opportunity Summary:
The Niagara Falls National Heritage Area grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 10 NERO 0075) is a National Park Service notice of intent to award a single cooperative agreement related to environmental and heritage area work connected to the Niagara Falls National Heritage Area. It was published by the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and is categorized as discretionary funding using a Cooperative Agreement funding instrument. The key point of the announcement is that it is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the NPS planned to make an award without full and open competition, meaning the agency had already identified the recipient and intended to move forward through a non-competitive process.
The total and exact amount associated with the intended award is $83,000, with the award ceiling and floor both set at $83,000, indicating a single, fixed-size award rather than a range. The announcement anticipated one award in total. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, so the recipient was not expected to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving the federal support. Although the eligibility field lists nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), the structure of the notice makes clear that this eligibility category does not function as an open invitation to apply because the NPS was not soliciting proposals.
The announcement states that funds would be awarded under Cooperative Agreement H1760100006. That reference is important because it ties the notice to a specific agreement vehicle and recipient arrangement rather than a competitive grant round. The notice also points readers to an attachment in the full announcement for complete project activity details, implying that the scope, deliverables, and planned uses of funds were described there rather than in the brief synopsis. The posting date and creation date were both September 27, 2010, with an original and current closing date of October 1, 2010, and an archive date of October 2, 2010. In practice, those dates function more like an administrative window for publishing and finalizing the public notice than a true application deadline, since applications were not being accepted.
For questions or for help accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed contact was Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-0056. Overall, this listing is best understood as a transparency posting: it alerts the public that the National Park Service intended to direct $83,000 to a specified cooperative agreement connected to the Niagara Falls National Heritage Area, using a non-competitive award process, rather than running a standard, open grant competition.
