Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "SPONSORSHIP OF NATIONAL PRESERVATION CONFERENCE 2014" (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00277) was a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action structured as a cooperative agreement in the education activity category. It was posted and created on August 20, 2014, with an archive date of August 31, 2014. The opportunity was not open for competition: the closing language states "Notification of Intent to Award. No applications will be accepted," meaning the agency intended to make an award to a specific partner rather than solicit proposals from the broader community.
The purpose of the agreement was to support a collaboration between the NPS Cultural Resources Program in Washington, DC and the National Trust for Historic Preservation in connection with the National Preservation Conference held in Savannah, Georgia, from November 11 to 14, 2014. In practical terms, the award functioned as a sponsorship and partnership mechanism that would position NPS as a principal sponsor of the conference while also ensuring NPS content and priorities were woven into the event. The collaboration specifically emphasized prominent inclusion of NPS workshops and sessions, involvement in shaping the conference agenda, and a platform for NPS to communicate its climate change planning framework to a national preservation audience.
Financially, the total estimated funding was $50,000, and both the award ceiling and the expected total matched at $50,000, with one anticipated award. The award floor was listed as $1, but the design of the opportunity (single, pre-identified recipient) indicates the practical intent was a single sponsorship-sized cooperative agreement at or near the stated total. No cost sharing or matching requirement applied, so the recipient was not required to provide a mandatory non-federal match as a condition of the award.
Eligibility, as stated in the listing, was limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because no applications were accepted and the announcement functioned as a notice of intent to award, eligibility functioned more as a formal classification than an open invitation. The recipient identified in the description was the National Trust for Historic Preservation, a nonprofit organization aligned with the conference and preservation field.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was associated with CFDA number 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," reflecting NPS authority to use cooperative agreements to advance training, research, and educational collaboration tied to national park system resources and related stewardship themes. The cooperative agreement instrument type also signals that NPS expected substantial involvement beyond simply providing funds, consistent with the described agenda participation, sponsor recognition, and content delivery.
For access and questions, the announcement referenced Grants.gov as the source for additional details and provided a contact for assistance: John Bechtold at 303-969-2492 and JohnBechtold@nps.gov, with the same reminder that this was a notice of intent to award and not an application-based funding opportunity.
