Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Planning, production of the Working Waterfront Festival" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS WASO P12AC31794) was issued by the National Park Service as a continuation award to support the programming and planning work behind the Working Waterfront Festival held in New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park. The announcement makes clear that the effort is being carried out under an existing cooperative agreement (P11AC20408), meaning it is tied to an established partnership framework rather than a new, open competition. The festival itself falls under an arts and cultural affairs-oriented activity category, reflecting its role in interpreting and presenting maritime and working waterfront traditions through public programming.
This notice was not a request for proposals and was not intended to solicit competing applications. Instead, it served as a formal statement of the government’s intent to make an award to a specific organization: the National Center for Traditional Arts. The eligibility field lists nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), but the "Eligibility Information" section clarifies that the award is targeted and non-competitive in nature. In practical terms, the notice functions as a public record that the agency planned to direct the funding to the named partner to carry out festival-related planning and programming activities.
The total funding amount for the award was fixed at $24,600, with the award ceiling and floor both set at $24,600, indicating a single, predetermined award amount rather than a range. The opportunity anticipated one award, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient was not expected to provide matching funds as a condition of the award. The funding is associated with CFDA number 45.024, "Promotion of the Arts - Grants to Organizations and Individuals," which aligns with the festival’s cultural programming purpose.
The opportunity was posted and created on June 4, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 13, 2012, and it was archived on July 13, 2012. Because this was an intent-to-award notice tied to a cooperative agreement, these dates mainly reflect the public notice timeline rather than a typical open application window. For access issues or administrative questions, the listed point of contact was Jaime Mijares, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2755 or by email at jaimemijares@nps.gov.
