Strategic Plan for the Northeast Region National Heritage Areas Program | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Strategic Plan for the Northeast Region National Heritage Areas Program (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 10 NERO 0065) is a National Park Service notice announcing an intent to make a single, specific award rather than soliciting proposals from the public. The opportunity is issued by the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), and it is explicitly labeled a NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD, meaning it is not a request for applications and is not a competitive funding round. The purpose of posting it on Grants.gov is primarily transparency: it serves as public notice that NPS plans to fund particular project activities tied to a strategic planning effort for the Northeast Region National Heritage Areas Program.

The funding will be provided through a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically indicates an ongoing partnership where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s execution (as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient operates more independently). In this case, the work will be carried out under Task Agreement J4506100870, issued against an already-existing Cooperative Agreement H4506090868. The named cooperator is the Association of Partners for Public Land, Inc., a nonprofit organization. Because it is being awarded under an existing agreement and through a named task agreement, the NPS is stating that it will proceed without full and open competition, which is another clear signal that outside organizations are not being invited to apply for this particular funding.

Financially, the announcement indicates an estimated total funding amount of $40,000, with the award floor and award ceiling both set at $40,000, meaning the intended award amount is fixed. The posting lists an expectation of one award, consistent with the intent to fund a single partner for a defined scope of work. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The activity category is identified as regional development, which aligns with strategic planning and coordination functions that support a multi-site heritage area program across a region.

Although the listing includes an eligible applicant category of 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), that eligibility language is largely standard form and does not change the practical reality of this specific notice. Because the announcement is not competitive and names the organization and the underlying agreement, it functions more as an administrative disclosure than an open opportunity. Anyone looking for the full scope, deliverables, timeline, and justification for the non-competitive approach would need to consult the attachment referenced under the "Full Announcement" link, which is where NPS indicates the complete details can be found.

Key dates show the notice was posted and created on September 22, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 28, 2010, and an archive date of September 29, 2010. These dates reflect the short public-notice window typical for intent-to-award postings rather than a normal application period. For access issues or questions about obtaining the full announcement materials, the contact listed is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
