Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity, titled "Pipestone Indian Shrine Association - NOI, Not a Request for Proposals" (Funding Opportunity Number P13AC00189), was published by the National Park Service as a discretionary funding announcement using a cooperative agreement. Because it is labeled as an NOI (Notice of Intent) and explicitly states it is not a request for proposals, it should be understood as a public notice describing an intended award or partnership approach rather than an open competitive solicitation where multiple applicants submit full proposals for review. The overall purpose is cultural and educational: to increase public awareness of American Indian cultural heritage, with a primary emphasis on preserving the pipestone pipe-making tradition and supporting the continuation of other forms of pipestone carving that reflect American Indian cultures.
The project focus centers on cultural preservation and interpretation related to pipestone, a material with deep significance in many American Indian communities, particularly for traditional ceremonial pipes and related carving practices. The announcement highlights two main goals: first, helping ensure the pipestone pipe-making culture is preserved and understood by the public, and second, encouraging the perpetuation of additional pipestone carving traditions that are representative of American Indian cultural expressions. In practice, a cooperative agreement structure typically indicates the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the project, such as collaborating on planning, oversight, public interpretation components, or resource stewardship activities connected to the work.
The funding is associated with CFDA number 15.944 (Natural Resource Stewardship), and the activity categories listed include arts/cultural affairs, education, and natural resources, reflecting a blend of cultural heritage education and stewardship. The announcement anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The estimated total funding available at the time of posting was $45,895, which also served as the stated award floor, while the award ceiling was listed as $137,685. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which generally lowers the barrier to participation for eligible organizations because the recipient would not be required to contribute a defined percentage of non-federal funds to the project budget.
Eligibility was broad within the cultural and tribal nonprofit space and included federally recognized Native American tribal governments, Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). These eligibility categories suggest the intended partner could be a tribal entity, a tribal cultural organization, or a nonprofit group with a mission aligned to Native cultural heritage preservation and public education.
