Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity, titled "Non Profit Partnerships Training and Strategies" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 12 NERO 0129), is a National Park Service (NPS) notice stating the agency's intent to make a single cooperative agreement award rather than inviting the public to apply. It is explicitly labeled as a "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD" and "NOT A REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS," which means the NPS is not running an open competition for this funding and is instead documenting a planned award decision.
The NPS (U.S. Department of the Interior) indicates it plans to enter into Cooperative Agreement P12AC31195 with the Schuylkill River Greenway Association. The focus area is positioned under community development, environment, and natural resources, and it is tied to CFDA 15.939, National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance. The purpose, as reflected in the title, centers on nonprofit partnership training and strategy work, with additional project specifics referenced as being available in an attachment within the full announcement materials.
Financially, the announcement describes a total funding amount of $60,000, and both the award ceiling and floor are also listed as $60,000, reinforcing that the NPS anticipated one fixed-size award. The expected number of awards is one, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Although the eligibility category is listed as 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education), the notice makes clear the intended partner is already identified, so the eligibility listing functions more as a classification than an invitation for new applicants.
In terms of timing, the notice was posted and created on September 1, 2012, with an original and current closing date of September 6, 2012, and an archive date of September 7, 2012. These dates align with the typical administrative window for posting intent-to-award notices rather than a full application cycle. Anyone needing access to the complete announcement attachment or having trouble retrieving it electronically is directed to contact Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, at 215-597-9153.
