Opportunity Summary:

This opportunity, titled "The Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 11 NERO 0021), is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior notice indicating the agency's intent to make an award under an existing cooperative agreement rather than running a competitive grant process. The announcement is explicitly labeled a NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD and states that it is not a request for applications. In practical terms, this means the NPS is publishing the notice to inform the public that it plans to add funding through a task agreement to Cooperative Agreement H1790080006, which is already in place with the Hudson River Valley Greenway Communities Council and the Greenway Heritage Conservancy (HRV, Inc.) for work associated with the Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area.

The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally signals substantial federal involvement or partnership during the project period (as opposed to a more hands-off grant). The activity category is tied to the National Heritage Area program (CFDA 15.939, National Heritage Area), and the announcement lists cost sharing or matching as required. The total anticipated funding amount is fixed at $524,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $524,000, indicating a single, set award amount rather than a range. The expected number of awards is one, aligning with the intent to fund a specific recipient under the existing agreement without full and open competition.

Although the eligibility field lists 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), the substance of the notice makes clear that this posting is not seeking proposals from the broader nonprofit community. Instead, it is a formal public notice that NPS plans to direct the funds to the named partner organizations through the existing cooperative agreement framework. Anyone looking for the detailed scope of the project activities is directed to the attachment available through the full announcement link in Grants.gov, which would contain the specific tasks and deliverables associated with the additional funding.

Key dates show the notice was posted January 6, 2011, with a closing date of January 12, 2011, and an archive date of January 13, 2011. These dates reflect the administrative window for the notice rather than a normal application period, since no applications are being solicited. For access issues with the full announcement or administrative questions about the posting itself, the listed contact is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
