Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Task Agreement with Journey Through Hallowed Ground Partnership, Inc." (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 15 NERO 0022) is a National Park Service announcement documenting a cooperative agreement award that had already been made, rather than a competitive grant solicitation. In other words, it was posted for transparency and recordkeeping purposes, not to invite new applications. The opportunity falls under CFDA 15.939, National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance, and it supports ongoing work connected to the Journey Through Hallowed Ground National Heritage Area (NHA).
The announcement states that the recipient, Journey Through Hallowed Ground Partnership, Inc. (a nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status), is responsible for carrying out specific duties tied to implementing the NHA management plan. The core requirement is to implement the Management Plan in line with the governing agreement and authorizing legislation, as further detailed in an attached FY15 Work Plan and Budget (Attachment B). Alongside implementation, the partner must hold public meetings at least twice each year to discuss progress and issues related to carrying out the Management Plan, helping ensure public visibility and stakeholder input throughout the process.
A major emphasis of the task agreement is collaborative planning and coordination across multiple levels of the community. The partnership is expected to include local government units, regional planning organizations, and other nonprofit organizations in management planning efforts. This reflects how National Heritage Areas typically operate: they rely on locally driven partnerships to coordinate preservation, interpretation, recreation, and related community-based initiatives across a region, rather than direct federal ownership or management of land.
The agreement also highlights compliance responsibilities that often accompany federally supported heritage and conservation work. The partnership must comply with all applicable state and federal laws, specifically calling out the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). Practically, this means proposed activities may need environmental review, consultation, or cultural resource review depending on what is being implemented and where. To support that oversight, the partnership must prepare compliance documents needed for National Park Service and/or state approval, which can include analyses, documentation for consultations, and other materials required before certain actions can move forward.
Financially, the posting lists an estimated total funding amount of $270,420, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $270,420, indicating a single fixed award amount for this specific task agreement. The opportunity indicates a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind contributions) toward the project, consistent with the rules governing that assistance program and the terms of the cooperative agreement. The anticipated number of awards is listed as one, aligning with the statement that the award had already been made.
Administrative details in the listing show it was posted and created on April 2, 2015, with an original and current closing date of April 11, 2015, and an archive date of April 12, 2015. Because this was not an open solicitation, those dates function more like a public notice window than an application period. The listed federal agency is the National Park Service, and the contact person for access issues with the announcement is Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-9153.
