Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Visitor Servives and Operations at Cesar E. Chavez National Monument" (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00209) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action intended to support ongoing visitor-facing operations and preservation responsibilities at the Cesar E. Chavez National Monument. It is structured as a Cooperative Agreement under CFDA 15.954, National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education, and it focuses on strengthening visitor services, interpretation, and education while also ensuring the establishment and proper care of museum collections and the protection of historic resources associated with the site.
This notice is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning it is not an open call for proposals and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notification that the NPS plans to fund a specific project through an existing cooperative management relationship with the National Chavez Center (NCC). In practical terms, this indicates the NPS already has an established partnership mechanism in place with NCC, and the funding is being issued through that relationship rather than through a competitive process.
The legal and policy basis for the work is tied to Proclamation 8884, which established the Cesar E. Chavez National Monument, published in the Federal Register (77 Fed. Reg. 198) on October 12, 2012. The activities described align with typical monument operational needs after designation, including delivering meaningful visitor experiences through interpretation and education programs, and performing stewardship tasks that protect and manage culturally and historically significant assets. The inclusion of museum collections care signals responsibilities such as cataloging, preservation, storage standards, and collections management practices, while the reference to caring for historic resources points to maintenance and preservation actions that safeguard the integrity of structures, landscapes, and other tangible elements connected to the monument's significance.
Financially, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $94,265. Both the award ceiling and award floor are listed as $0, which commonly appears in postings that function as notices rather than competitive solicitations, where the precise award structure is handled through the underlying agreement or internal budgeting rather than through an application-based range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide matching funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility in the posting is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because this is a notice of intent to award under an existing cooperative arrangement with NCC, the eligibility language is more a standard Grants.gov field than a signal of an opportunity for new applicants to compete. Key dates reinforce the notice-only nature of the posting: it was posted on August 17, 2013, created on August 16, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 30, 2013, and an archive date of September 30, 2013.
For additional details, the announcement points to Grants.gov and provides a contact for access issues: Kristina Bliss, Contract Specialist, at 805-370-2321 or kristinabliss@nps.gov.
