Opportunity Summary:
The "Schuylkill River Greenway National Heritage Area" notice (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0057) is a National Park Service announcement tied to a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.904 (Historic Preservation Fund Grants-in-Aid). The key point is that this is not an open, competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is a mandatory, pre-designated award notice stating that funding has already been set aside for SRGA (the Schuylkill River Greenway Association) to carry out specific work connected to the Schuylkill River Greenway National Heritage Area and related National Park Service partnership efforts.
The total award amount is fixed at $30,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $30,000, indicating a single, defined funding level and one expected award. No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed. While the eligible applicant category is described broadly as 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), the announcement repeatedly clarifies that the recipient has already been chosen, so it is not inviting other organizations to apply. The posting date and creation date are June 19, 2014, with a listed closing date of June 24, 2014, and an archive date of June 25, 2014, reflecting a short administrative window typical of announcements that document an already-decided award.
SRGA's responsibilities under the cooperative agreement are laid out as a set of work commitments. SRGA must implement the activities and projects described in the task agreement and in Attachment A (the Workplan and Budget). They are also expected to work closely with NPS regional management and staff to jointly develop strategies, management models, and training events, and to create a shared workplan and schedule. A major component of the work involves SRGA contracting with a specialized nonprofit provider that can deliver technical training, consultation, and professional services. That contracted support is intended to help National Heritage Areas and other NPS-affiliated nonprofits adopt appropriate management models and strategies, and to equip park managers with tools to assess the health and professionalism of nonprofit partners. The goal is capacity-building: strengthening nonprofit partners and improving the overall effectiveness of NPS partnership relationships.
In addition to delivering and coordinating the work itself, SRGA is assigned a leadership and program management role. This includes leading the project team in evaluating the NPS partnership program, handling project management functions such as meeting scheduling and facilitation, and providing periodic status reporting back to NPS. SRGA must also lead the preparation of a final report, administer the funds needed to carry out the work, and comply with all applicable state and federal laws. The agency contact listed for access issues is Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, at 215-597-9153.
