Opportunity Summary:
The Notice of Intent to Award titled "Lowell Folk Festival and Lowell Summer Music Series" is a National Park Service (NPS) funding announcement issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior to publicly document the agency's plan to make a specific award. It is not a request for applications and does not invite proposals from the public. Instead, it serves as a formal notification that the NPS intends to fund identified project activities through a non-competitive, single-source action.
This opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0031 and is categorized as a discretionary award using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. The work will be carried out through Task Agreement P14AC00576 with the Lowell Festival Foundation under an existing Cooperative Agreement, P09AC00209 (formerly H1780090015). In practical terms, that means the NPS already has an established partnership framework with the recipient, and this notice is announcing the continuation or extension of that relationship for the stated festival and music series activities, rather than opening a new competition.
The announcement anticipates one award only, with total estimated funding of $163,913. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as $163,913, indicating the NPS has already determined the exact intended funding amount for this action. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.954, which corresponds to National Park Service activities focused on conservation, protection, outreach, and education. While the specific project deliverables are referenced as being detailed in an attachment accessible via the "Full Announcement" link, the title and context make clear the funded activities relate to supporting the Lowell Folk Festival and the Lowell Summer Music Series, events that align with public outreach and interpretive or educational goals often supported by the NPS.
Cost sharing or matching is required for this award, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (such as cash or allowable in-kind support) toward the total project cost. The notice does not detail the matching ratio in the text provided, so the exact match requirements would typically be found in the attached full announcement documentation or within the underlying cooperative agreement terms.
Eligibility is narrowly defined, reflecting the single-source nature of the intended award. The only eligible applicant type listed is a nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), and the notice further clarifies that this is a single-source award specifically to the Lowell Festival Foundation. As a result, other nonprofits or organizations cannot apply for this funding through this announcement, because the purpose is transparency about a planned direct award rather than soliciting competing applications.
The key dates show the notice was posted and created on June 2, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 7, 2014, and an archive date of June 8, 2014. In notices like this, the "closing date" functions more as the end of the public notice period rather than a deadline for application submission, since applications are not being accepted.
For additional details or if there are issues accessing the full announcement electronically, the notice provides a point of contact: Jennifer Fleming, NPS Northeast Region Agreements Officer, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476. This contact is primarily for administrative access and clarification questions about the posted notice and associated documentation, not for application support, since the action is not competitive.
