Opportunity Summary:
The Thomas Cole Historic House / Thomas Cole National Historic Site funding notice (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 12 NERO 0002) is a National Park Service announcement that serves as a public notice of the agency's intent to make an award, not a call for proposals. In other words, it is not an open, competitive grant opportunity where outside organizations submit applications for consideration. Instead, the NPS is documenting that it plans to support a specific set of project activities through a task agreement issued under an already-existing cooperative agreement (Cooperative Agreement H1788100001) with the Thomas Cole Historic House in Catskill, New York. The notice also points readers to an attachment in the full announcement for the official details, and it provides an NPS contact for anyone who cannot access the materials online.
The award structure is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a partnership-style relationship where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The total anticipated funding is $150,000, and both the award ceiling and floor are listed at $150,000, signaling that a single award of that exact amount is expected. The notice lists one anticipated award (ExpectedAwards: 1). A cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated as "Yes," meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind support) toward the project, according to the terms laid out in the underlying agreement and task arrangement.
The purpose of the funding, as described in the category explanation, centers on preservation and public-facing educational value at the Thomas Cole Historic House site. The supported activities include preserving the Thomas Cole House and other structures associated with the historic site, supporting educational programs, and assisting with research and interpretation tied to the house and Thomas Cole's legacy. The overall intent is to facilitate public understanding and appreciation of the site, which aligns with typical NPS stewardship goals for nationally significant historic and cultural resources, including maintaining historic fabric, expanding interpretive offerings, and improving the public's ability to engage with the site's history and meaning.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because this is a notice of intent to award under an existing cooperative agreement and explicitly states it is not a request for applications, the eligibility listing functions more as a classification of the recipient type rather than an invitation for new applicants. The posting date is October 18, 2011, with an original and current closing date of October 23, 2011, and an archive date of October 24, 2011, reflecting the short administrative window typical for public notices of non-competitive intent rather than a standard application cycle.
For administrative or access questions, the notice directs people to Grants.gov navigation resources and provides a specific point of contact at the National Park Service: Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
