Opportunity Summary:

The funding opportunity titled "Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National Historic District" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0034) is a National Park Service notice stating that a cooperative agreement award has already been selected and designated. It is not an open competition and not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a public announcement that the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation has been identified as the recipient for this specific federal financial assistance action under CFDA 15.939, National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance.

The purpose of the cooperative agreement is to support ongoing management and operational activities for the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National Historic District in a way that aligns with the District's authorizing legislation. The award is intended to help the Foundation carry out core district support functions, including coordinating and working in partnership with units of local government, regional planning organizations, and nonprofit organizations. Another major emphasis is fostering economic viability in the region through appropriate means, as long as that economic activity remains consistent with the preservation and interpretive purposes of the District. In practice, this typically means encouraging heritage tourism, compatible community development, and collaborative projects that strengthen local economies while protecting historic resources.

A key condition of the award is compliance with all applicable state and federal legal requirements. The announcement specifically highlights the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), signaling that any supported projects or activities must follow required environmental review processes and historic preservation compliance steps when applicable. This requirement helps ensure that management operations and partnership-driven initiatives do not unintentionally harm cultural resources, historic landscapes, or environmental values tied to the District.

Financially, the notice indicates one expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $322,118. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as $322,118, which effectively means the award amount is fixed. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for this action. The opportunity was posted and created on June 3, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 8, 2014, and an archive date of June 9, 2014. Even though a closing date is shown, it mainly reflects the administrative posting period rather than an application deadline, since the recipient had already been chosen.

Eligibility language in the posting references nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, but the accompanying explanation makes clear that the award is already designated specifically for the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation. The listed agency is the National Park Service, and the contact provided for access issues or questions is Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, at 215-597-9153.
