Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Promote and provide cultural heritage programs and events" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00125) is a National Park Service (DOI-NPS) discretionary funding action structured as a cooperative agreement. Its purpose is to support hands-on cultural heritage programming within or connected to national parks, built around a partnership between the National Park Service (NPS) and the NCTA. The overall focus is on strengthening how cultural traditions are shared with the public through events, exhibits, performances, and community collaboration, while also building park staff capacity to present culture in authentic and engaging ways.
The work described under the agreement covers a broad range of cultural heritage activities. Program elements include organizing crafts demonstrations and museum-style exhibits, developing and presenting traditional music programs, and creating other interpretive experiences that help visitors understand the cultural stories connected to park places. Another major component is training for park personnel, aimed at improving cultural presentation techniques so that staff can better interpret and communicate cultural heritage themes. The agreement also emphasizes practical support to local nonprofit groups that want to organize cultural events in national parks, helping strengthen community-driven programming that fits local traditions and park settings.
A key theme of the opportunity is building connections between parks and artists or arts organizations. By intentionally linking artists to park sites, the project aims to create a stronger "sense of place" and expand the kinds of cultural experiences available in parks. This is also framed as a way to broaden opportunities for American artists, with a specific emphasis on youth, and to contribute to quality-of-life improvements through cultural engagement, education, and community events.
From an administrative standpoint, this posting is a Notice of Intent rather than an open competition. No applications are being accepted because the task agreement is being issued under an existing cooperative agreement (P15AC20408) that had already been awarded through a prior competitive process. The posting indicates an expected single award, with an award ceiling of $222,000. The CFDA program number associated with the opportunity is 15.954. Eligible applicants are listed as nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (other than institutions of higher education), but in practice this eligibility note is largely informational here since the opportunity is not accepting new proposals. The notice was created and posted on April 26, 2016.
