Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) continuation grant notice connected to support for the 26th Lowell Folk Festival at Lowell National Historical Park. The purpose of the award is to assist the NPS with the full set of activities required to deliver the festival, including planning, programming, production, and on-site presentation. In practical terms, the work described typically covers coordinating festival logistics and operations, helping develop and manage the artistic and cultural program, supporting production needs such as staging and technical requirements, and ensuring the event is successfully delivered to the public as part of the park's cultural programming.
The opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number NPS WASO P12AC31786 under the title "Planning, prgramming production 26th lowell festival" and is categorized as a continuation award with a grant as the funding instrument. The activity category is Arts, aligned with CFDA (now commonly referenced through related assistance listings) number 45.024, Promotion of the Arts - Grants to Organizations and Individuals. The total anticipated funding amount is $86,000, and the funding structure is fixed: the award ceiling is $86,000 and the award floor is also $86,000, indicating a single award at that exact amount. One award is expected, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of the grant.
Eligibility is limited in a very specific way. While the eligibility field references nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the notice makes clear this is not open for competitive proposals. It is described as a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement (P12AC260408) and is explicitly a notice of intent to award. That means the NPS has already identified the recipient organization under the pre-existing cooperative agreement framework, and the posting is primarily informational and administrative rather than an invitation for new applicants to compete for the funds.
Key dates show the announcement was posted and created on June 4, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 13, 2012, and an archive date of July 13, 2012.
