Opportunity Summary:
This grant notice is a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award" for a project titled "Building Place based Education Capacity across the Upper Valley" associated with Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park in Vermont. The key point is that it is not an open funding opportunity and not a request for applications. Instead, it is a public notification that the NPS plans to make an award without full and open competition, meaning other organizations are not being solicited to apply.
The planned funding will be issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in the supported work (for example, coordination, technical input, or joint planning) rather than a more hands-off grant structure. The funding falls under the National Park Service program area listed as "Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education" (CFDA 15.954), and the activity category is labeled "Other," with the explanation clarifying that the listing exists specifically to announce the intent to make a single-source award.
The notice identifies Shelburne Farms, a nonprofit entity, as the sole intended recipient. Only one award is expected. The total estimated funding amount is $126,131, and both the award ceiling and floor are also $126,131, which effectively means the award amount is fixed at that level. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on August 26, 2015, with an original and current closing date of September 4, 2015, and an archive date of September 5, 2015. Because this is not a competitive announcement, those dates function more as an administrative public-notice window than a traditional application deadline.
For anyone needing further details, the announcement instructs readers to use the "Related Documents" section in the full posting to access the complete notice. If there are problems accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed contact is Jennifer Fleming, NPS Northeast Region Agreements Officer, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
