Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) notice titled "Task Agreement with Journey Through Hallowed Ground Partnership, Inc." (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0009) is a mandatory, non-competitive funding announcement rather than an open call for proposals. It serves mainly as a public statement that NPS has met a legislatively mandated obligation to provide financial assistance to the Journey Through Hallowed Ground Partnership, Inc. for work carried out within the Journey Through Hallowed Ground National Heritage Area. In other words, outside organizations are not being invited to apply; the funding is directed to a specific designated partner.
The assistance is being issued through a cooperative agreement, which typically implies ongoing involvement or coordination between the federal agency and the recipient during project execution. The funding falls under CFDA 15.939 (National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance) and is categorized under "Other" with the explicit clarification that this is an announcement of required assistance rather than a request for applications. The posting date and creation date are both December 2, 2014, with an original and current closing date of December 7, 2014, and an archive date of December 8, 2014, reflecting that the notice is time-bound for publication purposes even though it is not a competitive opportunity.
The announcement anticipates one award only, with total estimated funding of $29,580. The award floor and ceiling are both $29,580, indicating a fixed award amount. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the supported work consistent with the agreement terms. The listed eligible applicant type is a nonprofit with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), and the eligibility language repeatedly clarifies that this funding is intended specifically for the Journey Through Hallowed Ground Partnership, Inc.
The core program expectations are tied to implementation and oversight of the National Heritage Area management framework. Under the agreement, the Journey Through Hallowed Ground Partnership commits to implementing the Management Plan in alignment with the governing legislation and the agreement itself, as further detailed in the Attachment A FY15 Work Plan and Budget. The partnership must also hold public meetings at least twice per year focused on management plan implementation, ensuring ongoing public engagement and transparency. In addition, the partnership is expected to include units of local government, regional planning organizations, and nonprofit organizations in the management planning process, reinforcing a collaborative regional approach typical of National Heritage Area work.
Compliance responsibilities are a major component of the agreement. The partnership must comply with all applicable state and federal laws, explicitly including the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Beyond general compliance, the recipient is also responsible for preparing any required compliance documentation for review and approval by NPS and/or the state, which can include analyses, consultation materials, and other documentation needed to meet environmental and historic preservation requirements before actions are implemented.
