Opportunity Summary:

The funding opportunity titled "Society of the Natinal Shrine of the Bill of Rights" is a National Park Service (NPS) notice published by the United States Department of the Interior to formally announce the agency's intent to make a specific award. It is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning the NPS is not soliciting proposals from the public and there is no open competition for this funding. Instead, the announcement serves as a public transparency notice that the NPS plans to enter into a cooperative agreement for defined project activities with a named partner organization.

The instrument for this action is a Cooperative Agreement, identified as P09AC00189 (formerly H189090002). Cooperative agreements are typically used when the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the funded work, which often includes collaboration on planning, interpretation, educational programming, or other jointly delivered public-facing activities. The identified cooperator is the Society of the National Shrine of the Bill of Rights at St. Paul's Church, Eastchester Inc., a nonprofit entity associated with the National Shrine of the Bill of Rights.

This opportunity is categorized as continuation funding, indicating it is tied to an ongoing relationship or previously established project rather than a new competitive grant cycle. The funding activity category is Education, and it falls under CFDA (now commonly referenced through Assistance Listings) number 15.954, "National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education." The announcement anticipates a single award, reinforcing that this is a directed action to a specific partner rather than a multi-award competition.

Financially, the total estimated funding is listed as $236,000, with both the award ceiling and award floor also set at $236,000. That structure typically signals a fixed intended award amount for the identified agreement. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted, meaning the recipient is not required by the notice to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.

Although the eligible applicant category is described generally as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the practical effect in this case is limited because the NPS states its intent to proceed without full and open competition and names the specific cooperating organization. The key takeaway is that the posting is mainly informational and compliance-oriented, documenting the intent to award to the Society of the National Shrine of the Bill of Rights at St. Paul's Church, Eastchester Inc., rather than inviting new applicants to apply.

The notice was posted and created on June 22, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 27, 2013, and an archive date of June 28, 2013. Anyone needing help accessing the full announcement is directed to contact Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, at 215-597-0056, which is provided for access and administrative questions rather than for application submission since no application process is being opened under this notice.
