Opportunity Summary:
The Westfield Wild and Scenic River Assistance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0105) is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement announcement related to ongoing support for the Westfield River Wild and Scenic program. It is important to note that this notice is not a request for applications and does not represent an open competition. Instead, it serves as a public announcement that a single award has already been made to Westfield State Foundation, Inc., acting on behalf of the Westfield River Wild and Scenic Advisory Committee, to continue work connected to the river's Wild and Scenic stewardship efforts.
The award is issued under CFDA 15.954 (National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education) and is categorized as a discretionary cooperative agreement, indicating that the NPS anticipates substantial involvement and partnership during project implementation rather than simply providing pass-through funds. The total funding amount is set at $68,000, with an award floor and ceiling both listed as $68,000, reflecting a single, fixed award. The announcement lists one expected award and specifies that there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
Under the terms described, Westfield State Foundation, Inc. will continue serving as the fiscal agent for the Westfield River Wild and Scenic Advisory Committee. In practical terms, this means the Foundation is responsible for managing the agreement funds, handling financial administration, and supporting the implementation of selected projects that advance the management plan for the Westfield River Wild and Scenic designation. The work is to be carried out through coordination and partnership with both the NPS and the Advisory Committee, consistent with the signed agreement governing the relationship and deliverables.
The Foundation's responsibilities also include active participation in Advisory Committee meetings and relevant subcommittee meetings, as needed, so it can carry out its administrative and programmatic duties effectively. In addition, the Foundation will provide technical assistance to the Committee as specified in the agreement, which can include support functions that help move planning and project execution forward. Finally, the Foundation is tasked with implementing action programs and priorities outlined in the agreement, tying the funding to on-the-ground or programmatic activities that support the goals of the Westfield River Wild and Scenic effort.
The notice was posted and created on July 15, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 24, 2015, and an archive date of July 25, 2015. Even though it includes standard grant posting fields like eligibility (501(c)(3) nonprofits other than institutions of higher education), the text repeatedly clarifies that the announcement is solely to disclose an already-made award to Westfield State Foundation, Inc., rather than to solicit proposals from other organizations. For questions or access issues related to the announcement, the listed contact is Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist (phone 215-597-9153).
