Opportunity Summary:
This Notice of Intent to Award is a public announcement from the National Park Service (NPS) stating that it plans to provide funding to the Moton Museum through a cooperative agreement. It is not an open grant competition and not a request for applications or proposals. The purpose of issuing the notice is transparency: it alerts the public that NPS intends to make a specific award to a named recipient rather than solicit bids or proposals from multiple organizations.
The award is tied to the mission established in Public Law 102-525, the enabling legislation for the Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site (NHS). That law directs NPS to preserve, protect, and interpret sites that materially contributed to the landmark US Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education, which ended legally sanctioned segregation in public education. In that context, the Moton Museum is positioned as an important interpretive and historical resource because it occupies the former school site connected to the Virginia student strike and related litigation that became part of the broader legal effort culminating in Brown.
The Moton Museum itself is described as a place dedicated to telling the story of the Virginia litigants and, especially, the students whose activism helped challenge segregated education in Virginia. The museum opened on April 23, 2001, timed to mark the 50th anniversary of the student strike at Moton, an event that helped set in motion the legal challenge that fed into the Brown case. The notice emphasizes that the museum's primary mission is to communicate and interpret the students' role in that struggle, aligning directly with NPS goals around education, preservation, and public interpretation of civil rights history.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates an ongoing partnership role for the federal agency rather than a hands-off grant. The funding activity category is education, and the listing references CFDA number 15.923, identified as the National Center for Preservation Technology and Training. The announcement indicates one expected award with total funding of $23,000, and both the award ceiling and floor are $23,000, meaning the planned award amount is fixed. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted.
Eligibility is shown as limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), though in practice the notice makes clear the intended recipient is the Moton Museum. Key dates included in the record show it was posted and created on March 20, 2012, with an original and current closing date of March 30, 2012, and an archive date of April 29, 2012. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed contact is Penny Russell, Lead Grants and Agreements Officer for the NPS Midwest Region, with a provided phone number.
