Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior stating the agency's intent to make an award for interpretive programming connected to Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The opportunity is titled "Notice of Intent to Award Once Upon A Nation Interpretive Programs" and is identified on Grants.gov under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 12 NERO 0084. It is classified as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement, and the program purpose is described as historical interpretive programs, meaning activities designed to help the public understand and engage with the park's history through organized interpretation and education-focused events or presentations.
The key point of the announcement is procedural: it is not a request for applications and it is not an open competition. Instead, NPS is providing public notice that it plans to add funding to an existing cooperative agreement with Historic Philadelphia, Inc. (HPI). In other words, the agency already has an established partnership mechanism in place with this organization and intends to modify that agreement to provide additional funds for the "Once Upon A Nation" interpretive programs. The notice explicitly states the award will be made without "full and open competition," which is typically used when the agency has determined there is a justified reason to fund a specific partner rather than soliciting proposals from multiple applicants.
Funding details in the listing indicate there is expected to be one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $62,500. The award ceiling and award floor are both $62,500, which effectively means the anticipated award amount is fixed at that level rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not being asked to contribute a required percentage of non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The activity category is labeled "Other," with the explanation clarifying that the work is historical interpretive programming rather than a more typical grant category like construction, research, or habitat management.
Eligibility is also framed in a way that reflects the non-competitive nature of the action. While the posting shows "Eligible Applicants: Others," the eligibility explanation specifies that the recipient is a nonprofit organization with IRS 501(c)(3) status, and the text makes clear the intended recipient is Historic Philadelphia, Inc. Because the announcement is a notice of intent to award rather than an open solicitation, other organizations are not being invited to apply through Grants.gov for this funding.
The timeline in the listing reflects the administrative posting period rather than a true application window. The opportunity was posted on July 14, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 19, 2012, and it was archived on July 20, 2012. Those dates signal when the notice was available for public viewing, not when proposals were due, since applications were not being accepted.
Anyone needing access to the full announcement attachment or having trouble retrieving it electronically is directed to contact the NPS contracting/agreements specialist listed in the notice: Jennifer Fleming at 215-597-6476.
