Opportunity Summary:
The Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National Historic District opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 13 NERO 0058) is a National Park Service announcement for a mandatory cooperative agreement that has already been awarded, not a competitive grant solicitation. In other words, the agency is not asking the public to submit applications. Instead, it is formally notifying that a single award has been designated for The Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation (SVBF) to support ongoing work to preserve, conserve, and interpret the Civil War legacy across the Shenandoah Valley.
The announcement indicates one expected award with a total funding amount of $173,000, and both the award floor and ceiling are set at $173,000, meaning the award amount is fixed rather than variable. The assistance listing is tied to CFDA 15.939 (National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance). The opportunity is categorized as “Mandatory,” uses the “Cooperative Agreement” instrument (which typically reflects substantial federal involvement or coordination during the project), and does not require cost sharing or matching funds. The posting and creation date are June 24, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 28, 2013, and an archive date of June 29, 2013; these dates function more as administrative milestones than as an application window, since no applications were being accepted.
SVBF’s responsibilities under the agreement are laid out in practical terms focused on district-level stewardship and partnership-driven management. First, SVBF agrees to use the funds specifically for management operations that support the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields National Historic District in ways that align with the authorizing legislation for the District. Second, SVBF is expected to coordinate actively with local government units, regional planning organizations, and nonprofit organizations, underscoring that the District’s preservation and interpretation work is meant to be carried out through collaboration across jurisdictions and sectors. Third, SVBF is tasked with encouraging economic viability in the region, but only in ways that remain consistent with the District’s purposes; this reflects a common heritage-area approach where preservation, education, tourism, and community development are meant to reinforce each other rather than compete. Fourth, SVBF must comply with all relevant state and federal legal requirements, explicitly including the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), which govern environmental review and the protection of historic and cultural resources.
Eligibility language in the record notes 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), but the text repeatedly emphasizes that the award has already been designated for SVBF, so the eligibility category is best understood as descriptive of the recipient type rather than an invitation for additional applicants.
