Opportunity Summary:
The Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 11 NERO 0008) was published by the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), as a Notice of Intent to Award under the National Heritage Area program (CFDA 15.939). The key point is that this announcement was not an open call for proposals and not a request for applications. Instead, it served as a public notice that NPS intended to provide additional funding through a modification to an existing cooperative agreement (Cooperative Agreement H4514100001) with the Steel Industry Heritage Corporation (SIHC), the nonprofit organization associated with the Rivers of Steel National Heritage Area.
The funding instrument identified is a cooperative agreement, which generally implies active involvement by the federal agency in supporting or coordinating project activities rather than a standard, arms-length grant. The activity category is listed under natural resources with an explanation tied specifically to National Heritage Areas, indicating the work supports heritage area purposes such as preservation, interpretation, education, and related community or resource stewardship activities connected to the Rivers of Steel region and its industrial heritage. No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated, meaning the federal funds were not contingent on the recipient providing a required non-federal match for this particular award action.
Financially, the announcement indicated a single expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $708,000. The award floor and award ceiling were both listed as $708,000, signaling that the intended funding amount was fixed rather than a range. Eligibility in the listing referenced nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), but because this was a non-competitive notice tied to a specific existing agreement, the practical recipient for this action was SIHC through the cooperative agreement modification rather than a broader pool of applicants.
Timing details reflect the administrative nature of the notice: it was posted and created on December 15, 2010, with an original and current closing date of December 20, 2010, and an archive date of December 21, 2010. Since it was not soliciting applications, these dates function more as a public notice window than an application period. For full details, the announcement directed readers to an attachment available through the “Full Announcement†link on Grants.gov, and it provided a point of contact for access issues: Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
