Opportunity Summary:
The "Upper Housatonic Valley National Heritage Area" notice (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0024) is a National Park Service announcement tied to CFDA 15.939 (National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance). It is not a competitive grant solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public posting that a single recipient has already been selected and awarded federal assistance to support ongoing work related to the Upper Housatonic Valley National Heritage Area.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the National Park Service expects to have an active partnership role in the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The announcement indicates one expected award with total estimated funding of $300,000, and both the award floor and ceiling are listed at $300,000, signaling a fixed award amount for the identified recipient. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal match consistent with the agreement terms. The eligible applicant type listed is a nonprofit organization with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), although the eligibility language is largely informational here because the award has already been made.
The recipient organization, referenced as UHVNHA, commits to several specific responsibilities under the agreement. First, it must implement the National Heritage Area Management Plan in accordance with the governing legislation and the terms of the cooperative agreement, following an attached work plan and budget. Second, it must hold public meetings at least twice per year to discuss and support implementation of the management plan, reinforcing transparency and public participation. Third, it must involve key partners in management planning and implementation, specifically units of local government, regional planning organizations, and nonprofit organizations, which reflects the collaborative, community-based structure typical of National Heritage Areas. Fourth, it must comply with all applicable state and federal laws, explicitly including the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), which are central federal compliance frameworks for environmental review and cultural/historic resource protection.
The notice was posted and created on April 6, 2015, with an original and current closing date of April 15, 2015, and an archive date of April 16, 2015. Those dates function more as administrative markers for the public record than as an application timeline, since the announcement repeatedly clarifies that applications are not being accepted. For questions or access issues related to the posting, the listed contact is Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, at 215-597-9153.
