Opportunity Summary:

The Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National Historic District grant notice is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior, "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning it is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public announcement that the NPS plans to provide funding through a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement to a specific partner organization, the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation. The purpose of issuing this type of notice is largely procedural and transparency-focused: it informs the public that the agency intends to make an award without full and open competition and points readers to the attached full announcement materials for the details of the planned project activities.

The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement (identified as Cooperative Agreement H4517119041). A cooperative agreement generally indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work, such as collaborating on project direction, participating in planning, or providing technical oversight, rather than simply issuing funds through a more hands-off grant. The activity category is listed as "Environment," which in the NPS context often covers resource stewardship, preservation planning, cultural landscape work, battlefield protection efforts, interpretive initiatives, or related conservation and heritage activities tied to managed historic districts.

Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $464,000, with an award ceiling and floor both set at $464,000. This signals that the NPS anticipated exactly one award for exactly that amount, rather than a range of possible awards. The expected number of awards is one, reinforcing that this announcement is tied to a pre-identified recipient rather than a competitive pool. The notice also states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected (at least per this listing) to provide a mandatory non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds.

Eligibility information in the posting identifies nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) as eligible applicants, but in practice this matters mainly as confirmation that the intended partner fits the allowable recipient type. Because this is explicitly not a request for applications and is described as a non-competitive award, other eligible nonprofits would not be able to apply through this posting.

Key administrative dates show the announcement was posted and created on November 24, 2010, with an original and current closing date of November 30, 2010, and an archive date of December 1, 2010. Those dates align with a notice period rather than an application window. The listing includes a generic CFDA number of 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which is sometimes used in notices where the funding does not map neatly onto a specific CFDA program listing in the posted summary.

For anyone needing access to the full announcement attachments or having trouble retrieving the details electronically, the notice provides a point of contact: Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, at 215-597-0056. Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a formal, time-limited public notice that the NPS intended to fund specific Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National Historic District-related activities through a single cooperative agreement with the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation, rather than a competitive grant program open to new applicants.
