Opportunity Summary:
The Schuylkill River National and State Heritage Area opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 11 NERO 0022) is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior funding notice that serves as a formal "Notice of Intent to Award." It is not an open grant competition and it is not asking the public to submit applications. Instead, the NPS is using the posting to publicly document its plan to provide additional funding for specific project activities tied to the Schuylkill River National Heritage Area by issuing a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement (Cooperative Agreement H4507060604) with the Schuylkill River Greenway Association.
The announcement indicates a single expected award, with total estimated federal funding of $524,000. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as $524,000, which effectively signals a set amount rather than a range. The assistance listing is tied to CFDA 15.939 (National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance), and the funding activity is categorized under "Other," clarified as National Heritage Area work. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal match consistent with the terms of the underlying cooperative agreement and any task agreement issued under it.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but in practice the notice is describing a non-competitive action intended for a specific partner already operating under the referenced cooperative agreement: the Schuylkill River Greenway Association. The posting and closing dates (posted January 6, 2011; closing January 12, 2011; archived January 13, 2011) function more like an administrative timeline for the public notice rather than a window for competitive submissions, since the notice explicitly states it is not a request for applications.
For anyone trying to locate the precise scope of work, deliverables, and rationale for the non-competitive approach, the announcement directs readers to the attachment available through the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov. The listed point of contact for access issues is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
