Opportunity Summary:
The Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National Historic District notice (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0006) is a mandatory funding announcement from the National Park Service (NPS), not an open solicitation. It is meant to inform the public that NPS is legally required to provide federal financial assistance to a specific organization, the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation (SVBF), to support work associated with the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National Historic District. Because the funding is mandated and directed to SVBF, this announcement is not inviting applications from other entities and should not be read as a competitive grant opportunity.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.939 (National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance). The announcement anticipates a single award, with total estimated funding of $85,782. The award floor and ceiling are both set at $85,782, which signals a fixed amount rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. Although the eligibility category is described as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the accompanying eligibility language makes clear that the only intended recipient is the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation due to the statutory mandate.
The purpose of the funding is to support management and operational activities for the Historic District in a way that aligns with the authorizing legislation. In practical terms, SVBF is expected to use the funds to carry out day-to-day or programmatic management functions that help sustain and advance the Districts mission. The cooperative agreement also emphasizes coordination and partnership: SVBF is to work with local government units, regional planning organizations, and nonprofit organizations, reinforcing the idea that stewardship of the District is collaborative and tied to regional planning and community involvement.
In addition to preservation and coordination, the notice highlights an economic development dimension. SVBF is expected to encourage economic viability through appropriate means, but only in ways that remain consistent with the Districts purposes. This typically implies heritage-based tourism, compatible community development, and other economic activities that support long-term preservation goals rather than undermine them. Finally, SVBF must comply with applicable state and federal laws, explicitly including the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). This condition signals that any funded activities with environmental or historic preservation implications must follow required review, consultation, and compliance processes.
Key timing details in the posting show it was published on December 1, 2014, with an original and current closing date of December 6, 2014, and an archive date of December 7, 2014. These dates function more as administrative posting windows than a period for proposal submission, since the announcement is not a request for applications. The listed contact for access issues or questions is Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-9153.
