Opportunity Summary:
The Schuylkill River Greenway National Heritage Area notice (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0072) is a National Park Service announcement documenting that the Schuylkill River Greenway Association (SRGA) has already received a cooperative agreement award to continue its ongoing work in the Schuylkill River Greenway National Heritage Area. It is not a competitive funding opportunity and it is not seeking new applications; the posting functions mainly as a public record of the award and its purpose.
The award is issued under CFDA 15.939 (National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance) and is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the National Park Service (NPS) will remain actively involved in coordination and oversight as the work is carried out. The total funding amount is fixed at $41,975, with an award ceiling and floor both set at $41,975, and the notice anticipates one award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated. While the eligibility field lists 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), the repeated language throughout the announcement makes clear that eligibility details are effectively informational here because the award has already been made to SRGA.
The scope of work centers on implementing SRGA's approved workplan and budget under the terms of a task agreement, while closely collaborating with NPS regional management and staff. A major emphasis is building stronger partnership capacity across NPS-affiliated nonprofits and heritage areas by developing strategies, management models, and training events, and by aligning those efforts through a shared workplan and schedule with NPS. To accomplish the training and technical assistance component, SRGA is expected to contract with a specialized nonprofit organization capable of providing customized training, consultation, professional services, and practical tools. These services are intended to help heritage areas and other NPS-affiliated nonprofits adopt effective management approaches, and to help park managers assess the health and professionalism of nonprofit partners while strengthening those partners' skills and organizational capacity.
In addition to delivering program activities, SRGA is responsible for leadership and coordination across the project team, including project management, scheduling and facilitating meetings, and providing periodic status updates to NPS on progress. The work also includes leading the preparation of a final report, administering the awarded funds to ensure the activities are executed properly, and complying with all applicable state and federal laws. Key dates in the posting include a posted and created date of June 29, 2015, an original and current closing date of July 9, 2015, and an archive date of July 10, 2015, which reflect the announcement timeline rather than an application window.
