Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a National Park Service (NPS) "Notice of Intent to Award" for the Upper Housatonic Valley National Heritage Area, meaning it is not an open grant competition and not a request for applications. Instead of inviting new applicants, NPS is publicly documenting its intent to provide additional federal funds through a task agreement under an already existing cooperative agreement (Cooperative Agreement H1953070011) with the designated local coordinating entity, Upper Housatonic Valley National Heritage Area, Inc. The purpose is to support project activities associated with the management and work of the Upper Housatonic Valley National Heritage Area, which is a federally recognized National Heritage Area program.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary award using the cooperative agreement instrument, which typically indicates an ongoing partnership arrangement between NPS and the recipient, with substantial federal involvement compared to a standard grant. The funding activity category is identified broadly as "Other," with clarification that it falls under the National Heritage Area program. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number is 15.939 (National Heritage Area), which is the federal assistance listing tied to these heritage area partnership efforts.
Funding details are straightforward and fixed: NPS anticipates a single award with total estimated funding of $150,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $150,000, signaling that the intended amount is set rather than a range. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal cost share consistent with the terms of the National Heritage Area program and the underlying cooperative agreement. The eligible applicant type shown is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (excluding institutions of higher education), which matches the status of the intended recipient organization; however, because this is not a competitive solicitation, the eligibility listing does not function as an invitation for other organizations to apply.
The posting timeline reflects the nature of an intent-to-award notice rather than a typical application window. It was posted January 6, 2011, with an original and current closing date of January 11, 2011, and it was archived January 12, 2011. Those dates are best understood as an administrative period for public notice rather than a deadline for proposal submissions, since NPS explicitly states there is no application process for this announcement. Anyone seeking the full details is directed to the attachment under the "Full Announcement" link, and for technical access issues the contact provided is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at NPS, reachable by phone at 215-597-6476.
