Opportunity Summary:
The Paths to Peace War of 1812 Arts Legacy Project (Funding Opportunity Number P14AC01109) was a National Park Service discretionary grant opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement to support an international, art-focused history education program for middle school students. The central purpose of the project was to use cultural arts as a teaching tool to interpret the War of 1812 and, importantly, to highlight the long-term peace that followed between former adversaries. Rather than presenting a single national storyline, the program was designed to explore the conflict and its legacy from multiple perspectives, specifically including Canada and Britain, First Nations/Native American communities, and the United States. In practical terms, this signals a curriculum or set of educational activities that uses art, visual culture, and broader cultural expression to help students understand how different communities experienced the war and how reconciliation and enduring peace can become part of the historical narrative.
From a funding standpoint, this was a small, single-award opportunity with a fixed amount of federal support. The National Park Service anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $60,000. The award ceiling and award floor were both set at $60,000, meaning the project was structured as a one-time, one-award grant at that exact level rather than a range of possible award sizes. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which generally means applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The assistance listing connected to this opportunity was CFDA 15.946, Cultural Resources Management, and the activity category was listed under Arts (with a reference to Cultural Affairs).
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. That restriction suggests the agency was looking for a mission-driven nonprofit organization (such as a historical, cultural, arts education, museum, or heritage-focused nonprofit) capable of developing and delivering a middle school educational program with an arts and art history emphasis, while also collaborating closely with the federal partner under a cooperative agreement structure. Cooperative agreements typically indicate a more hands-on federal role than a standard grant, with the agency expecting to participate in or guide aspects of the project rather than simply providing funds and receiving reports.
Timing details show this opportunity was posted on July 30, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 6, 2014, indicating a very short application window of about one week. The archive date was September 5, 2014, meaning it was no longer an active opportunity after that time. Applicants were directed to Grants.gov for official application materials and full announcement details. For access issues related to the electronic announcement, the listed point of contact was Katie Schroeder, Grants Management Officer, with a phone number provided (402-661-1640).
