South Park NHA FY2015 Implementation of Management Plan | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The South Park NHA FY2015 Implementation of Management Plan opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00273) was a National Park Service discretionary funding notice to support work tied directly to the approved management plan for the South Park National Heritage Area. National Heritage Areas are congressionally recognized landscapes where natural, cultural, historic, and scenic resources come together to tell nationally significant stories about the United States. In this case, the funding was intended to help carry out priority actions in the South Park NHA management plan, with an emphasis on activities that serve a clear public purpose as authorized under Public Law 111-11.

The award was structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a simple grant, meaning the National Park Service expected to be substantially involved in the project during performance, such as through coordination, technical input, or shared decision-making consistent with federal assistance rules for cooperative agreements. The funded work was described broadly across four main types of effort: planning, administration, outreach, and demonstration projects. Planning can include advancing implementation steps identified in the management plan, refining strategies, and coordinating partners. Administration typically covers the organizational and operational capacity needed to manage the heritage area program responsibly, including oversight of funded activities and partner coordination. Outreach focuses on public engagement, interpretation, education, communications, and building awareness of the heritage area resources and stories. Demonstration projects generally refer to tangible, on-the-ground activities that model best practices or visibly advance preservation, interpretation, or community benefit in ways that align with the management plan.

The opportunity was listed under the Natural Resources funding activity category and associated with CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 15.939, National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance. The notice anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total federal funding amount of $300,000. Both the award ceiling and award floor were listed as $0 in the posting, which typically indicates the listing did not publish specific minimum or maximum award limits even though an overall estimated total amount was provided.

A cost sharing or matching requirement applied, meaning the recipient would need to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or allowable in-kind contributions) toward the overall project costs in accordance with the agreement terms and applicable federal cost principles. The eligibility section indicated "Others" with further clarification referenced elsewhere in the full notice, but the key point provided in the summary information is that it was a noncompetitive notice of intent to award. That phrasing commonly signals the agency planned to make the award to a specific organization (often the local coordinating entity for the heritage area) rather than run an open competition among multiple applicants.

The posting timeline was short and specific: it was posted and created on August 4, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 14, 2015, and it was archived on August 15, 2015. Anyone needing the complete announcement was directed to Grants.gov, and the listed contact for access issues and questions was Todd Wilson at ToddWilson@nps.gov.
