Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior announcement stating its intent to make a specific grant award for a project called the "Maine Acadian Culture Project: Employ Geographically Isolated Acadian Youth at MAAC Sites." It is explicitly not a request for applications and is not an open competition. Instead, it serves as a transparency notice that NPS plans to fund a pre-identified recipient for defined project activities.
The award is planned as a cooperative agreement (meaning NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project, rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant). The funding will be issued through a Task Agreement (P13AC00864) to the Maine Acadian Heritage Council, and it will be made under an already-existing cooperative agreement framework (P13AC00191). In practical terms, this indicates the federal agency already has an established partnership vehicle with the organization and is using it to carry out this particular set of activities.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0076 and is associated with CFDA 15.946, Cultural Resources Management, which signals the project is tied to cultural heritage preservation, interpretation, or related resource management work rather than, for example, infrastructure construction or academic research. The activity category is labeled "Other," with the explanation clarifying that the defining feature here is the "Notice of Intent to Award" format rather than a typical competitive grant program.
Funding details are straightforward and fixed: the estimated total funding is $47,112, and both the award ceiling and floor are also $47,112, implying a single award at that exact amount. The expected number of awards is one, reinforcing that this is a single-source action. The announcement also indicates there is a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or allowable in-kind support) as part of the project’s total cost, though the notice text provided does not specify the match percentage or what forms of match are acceptable.
Eligibility is described in general terms as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but the notice makes clear this is a single-source award to a specific nonprofit entity, the Maine Acadian Heritage Council. That combination of statements is typical for intent-to-award postings: it documents the general eligibility category while also stating the agency is not soliciting proposals from the broader public.
The timeline reflects the administrative posting window rather than an application period. The notice was posted July 15, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 21, 2013, and an archive date of July 22, 2013. Because the announcement is not accepting applications, these dates mainly indicate how long the notice remained publicly visible before being archived, consistent with federal posting practices for noncompetitive intent-to-award notifications.
For anyone needing the full documentation, the notice points readers to an attachment accessible through the "Full Announcement" link (as it appeared on Grants.gov at the time). It also provides a point of contact for access issues: Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476. The notice further directs users to Grants.gov help resources for general navigation or grants-related questions, which is standard language included even when no application is being requested.
