Opportunity Summary:
The "Valley Forge NHP - strengthening community stewardship" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 10 NERO 0046) is a National Park Service notice stating its intent to make a single, specific award tied to Valley Forge National Historical Park. It is important to read this as an administrative public notice rather than an open grant competition. The NPS explicitly says this is a "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD" and "NOT A REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS," meaning the agency is not soliciting proposals from the broader public and is instead disclosing that it plans to fund predetermined work through an existing partnership mechanism.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement in the Community Development activity area, with an expected number of awards listed as one. The recipient is effectively pre-identified: the work will be carried out under Task Agreement J4860100007 using an already-established Cooperative Agreement (H4860100006) with the Friends of Valley Forge Park. In practical terms, this indicates a continuation or add-on task within an ongoing relationship between the park and its nonprofit partner, rather than a new program where multiple organizations would apply and compete.
The financial scope is straightforward and fixed. The estimated total funding is $30,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $30,000, signaling a single award at that exact amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so the award is not structured to require the partner to contribute a set percentage of non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the federal dollars.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which aligns with the named cooperating organization being a nonprofit "friends group." Even though eligibility is described in general terms, the content of the announcement makes clear that the NPS is not opening a competition among eligible nonprofits; it is documenting its intent to fund the Friends of Valley Forge Park without full and open competition under the existing cooperative agreement.
Timing details also reinforce that this is a notice rather than a normal application cycle. The posting date and creation date are September 14, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 19, 2010, and an archive date of September 20, 2010. A very short window like this is typical for an intent-to-award notice that must be publicly posted for transparency, not for collecting applications.
For anyone trying to understand what to do next, the next step is not to prepare an application package, because none will be accepted under this notice. Instead, interested parties would look at the attachment under the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov for the detailed description of the project activities being funded, or contact the listed point of contact for access issues or clarification. The contact provided is Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist, at 215-597-6476, associated with Valley Forge NHP.
