Opportunity Summary:
The "Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National Historic District" notice (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0013) is not an open grant competition and should not be read as a call for proposals. It is a formal public posting that the National Park Service (NPS) has already made a single cooperative agreement award to the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation (SVBF). The purpose of the award is to support the preservation, conservation, and interpretation of the Civil War legacy in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, carried out through SVBF's established management plan for the National Historic District.
The announcement lists the program context as CFDA 15.939 (National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance) and describes the agreement as a mandatory cooperative agreement, meaning the recipient and the NPS are expected to have an active partnership role rather than a simple pass-through grant relationship. The total funding amount is fixed at $212,000, with an award ceiling and floor both set at $212,000, and the notice indicates only one expected award. There is no cost share or matching requirement associated with this funding, which is relevant mainly for recordkeeping and transparency since the award decision has already been made.
Even though this is not an application opportunity, the notice spells out the core responsibilities SVBF accepts under the agreement. First, SVBF must use the funds to carry out management operations that support the District in a way that aligns with the enabling legislation governing the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National Historic District. Second, SVBF is expected to coordinate its work with local governments, regional planning organizations, and nonprofit partners, reflecting the collaborative model that is typical for heritage area and landscape-scale historic preservation efforts. Third, SVBF must encourage economic viability through appropriate means, but only in ways that stay consistent with the District's preservation and interpretive purposes; in other words, economic development is framed as compatible heritage-driven vitality rather than development that undermines historic resources. Fourth, SVBF must comply with all applicable state and federal legal requirements, explicitly including the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), which generally means undertaking proper environmental review where required and following historic preservation review processes (such as Section 106 consultation) when activities could affect historic properties.
Key administrative details in the posting include the original posting date of March 21, 2013, with a closing date of March 26, 2013, and an archive date of March 27, 2013. Those dates function more as federal announcement tracking milestones than as true applicant deadlines, since the award was predetermined and already issued. The listed federal agency is the National Park Service, and the contact provided for access or questions about the announcement is Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist (phone 215-597-9153).
