Opportunity Summary:
The FY2015 "Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area Corporation - Implementation of Management Plan" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00204) was a National Park Service discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.939 (National Heritage Area Federal Financial Assistance). It focused on advancing the federally recognized mission of National Heritage Areas, which are congressionally designated landscapes where natural, cultural, historic, and scenic resources come together to tell nationally significant stories shaped by geography and human activity. In practical terms, the funding was meant to help the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area carry out projects and activities that align with its approved Management Plan and demonstrate a clear public benefit, consistent with the authorizing legislation (Public Law 106-319, as amended by Public Law 109-318).
The grant emphasized implementation work rather than planning from scratch. Supported activities included community historic preservation and environmental conservation initiatives tied directly to the Management Plan, along with public outreach and programming designed to engage residents and visitors. This suggests a mix of on-the-ground resource stewardship and community-facing interpretation or education, reinforcing the heritage area model where local partners collaborate to protect resources, maintain the character of the landscape, and communicate the area's significance through events, interpretation, and other public programs.
Financially, the opportunity listed an estimated total funding amount of $343,000 with one expected award. The notice also indicated a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would be expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or allowable in-kind support) as part of the overall project budget. While the posting showed an award ceiling and floor of $0 (often a placeholder in certain federal postings), the stated estimated total funding and single anticipated award imply the cooperative agreement was intended to fund a specific, predefined scope of work.
In terms of competition and eligibility, this was not a typical open, competitive solicitation. The announcement was described as a noncompetitive notice of intent to award, and the eligible applicant category was broadly labeled "Others" with clarification referenced in the full announcement. In practice, noncompetitive intent-to-award postings usually signal that the agency has identified a specific recipient consistent with statutory authority and program structure, rather than soliciting multiple competing applications.
Key administrative details include the posting date and creation date of July 20, 2015, an original and current closing date of July 30, 2015, and an archive date of July 31, 2015, indicating a short submission window consistent with intent-to-award notices. The administering agency was the National Park Service, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Todd Wilson (ToddWilson@nps.gov). The full announcement and related materials were available through Grants.gov.
