Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service announced a mandatory, sole-source cooperative agreement for the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National Historic District under Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0020 (CFDA 15.939, National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance). This notice is not a call for proposals and not an open competition. Instead, it serves as a public announcement that the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation (SVBF), a qualifying 501(c)(3) nonprofit, has received an award as specifically directed by the legislation establishing and governing the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National Historic District. Because the award is mandated, there is no application process associated with this posting and no broader pool of eligible applicants beyond the named recipient.
The cooperative agreement provides a total of $349,218, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $349,218, indicating a single, fixed award amount and only one expected award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning SVBF is not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving this specific assistance. The opportunity was posted and created on March 11, 2015, with an original and current closing date of March 20, 2015, and an archive date of March 21, 2015. These dates function more as administrative markers for the public notice rather than an application window, since the announcement is explicitly not requesting applications.
Under the terms described, SVBF commits to using the federal funds to support management operations for the District in a way that aligns with the authorizing legislation. The Foundation is also expected to coordinate its work with local government entities, regional planning organizations, and nonprofit organizations, reinforcing the partnership-based model typical of National Heritage Area-style programs. In addition, SVBF is tasked with encouraging economic viability through appropriate means, but only insofar as that economic activity remains consistent with the District's preservation and interpretive purposes. Finally, SVBF must comply with all applicable state and federal laws, explicitly including the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), which generally require careful review of potential environmental impacts and effects on historic resources when federal funds or federal involvement are present.
For questions or issues accessing the announcement, the listed point of contact is Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-9153.
