Opportunity Summary:
The Niagara Falls National Heritage Area opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 11 NERO 0018) is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior notice stating the agency's intent to make a specific award under an existing cooperative agreement. It is explicitly labeled as a "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD" and not a request for applications, meaning it is not an open, competitive grant solicitation where multiple organizations can apply. Instead, the announcement serves mainly as a public transparency step: NPS is notifying the public that it plans to provide additional federal funds to support project activities tied to the Niagara Falls National Heritage Area through a modification to Cooperative Agreement H1760100006 with Parks and Trails New York, Inc.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates a relationship where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work (as opposed to a standard grant with less day-to-day federal participation). The total anticipated funding is $150,000, and the notice lists the award floor and ceiling both at $150,000, signaling a single, fixed-size award rather than a range of possible award amounts. The opportunity anticipates one award in total. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted, so the recipient is not required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving the federal support.
In terms of who is eligible, the listing identifies nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) as eligible applicants in general. However, because the notice is not competitive and is tied to a planned modification of an existing agreement, it effectively indicates that the intended recipient is Parks and Trails New York, Inc., rather than inviting new applicants. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.939 (National Heritage Area), and the activity category is essentially National Heritage Area work, with the listing using "Other" as the general category and clarifying it in the explanation field.
Key dates included in the posting reflect the administrative lifecycle of the notice rather than a true application window: it was posted and created on January 6, 2011, shows a closing date of January 11, 2011, and an archive date of January 12, 2011. Those dates should be read as the period during which the public notice was posted on Grants.gov, not as an invitation for submissions. For full project details, the notice points readers to an attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link. For assistance accessing the announcement, the contact provided is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service (phone: 215-597-6476).
