Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award for "Once Upon A Nation" interpretive programs at Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is issued by the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service, under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0129. The key point is that this posting is not a request for applications and is not a competitive funding opportunity. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the NPS plans to fund specific project activities without full and open competition.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS anticipates being actively involved with the recipient in carrying out the work rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant. The underlying program listing referenced is CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," with the explanation clarifying that the announcement is specifically a notice of intent to award rather than a solicitation.
The NPS indicates this will be a single-source award to Historic Philadelphia, Inc., identified as a nonprofit entity. Because it is single-source and noncompetitive, other organizations are not being invited to apply through this posting; the "eligible applicants" field effectively reflects that the intended recipient is already selected for this particular award. The purpose of publishing the notice is transparency: it informs the public that the government intends to direct these funds to one organization for the described interpretive programming connected to Independence National Historical Park.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $25,000, and both the award floor and award ceiling are also set at $25,000, indicating the NPS expects to make one award in that exact amount. The announcement also states there is a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or in-kind support) as part of the overall project cost, though the specific match ratio or acceptable forms of match would be detailed in the full announcement documents.
In terms of timing, the notice was posted and created on August 14, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 23, 2015, and an archive date of August 24, 2015. In this context, the "closing date" functions more like the end of the public notice window rather than a deadline for submitting applications, since the posting explicitly says it is not soliciting proposals.
For anyone needing the official details, the announcement directs readers to consult the "Related Documents" section on Grants.gov and open the full announcement. If there are technical issues accessing the materials, the contact provided is Jennifer Fleming, NPS Northeast Region Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
