Opportunity Summary:
The Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOITA0012) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding announcement for a single anticipated award to support activities associated with the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the approved work rather than simply providing a pass-through grant. The opportunity is categorized under Community Development and is tied to the National Heritage Area assistance listing (CFDA 15.939), which generally supports locally driven heritage conservation, interpretation, and community-based revitalization efforts connected to nationally recognized historic and cultural landscapes.
This posting is not an open, competitive solicitation. It is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive award under an existing National Park Service master cooperative agreement, implemented through a task agreement. The announcement cites DOI policy (505 DM 2.12C) as the authority for proceeding noncompetitively, which typically applies when there is a justified reason such as a uniquely qualified recipient, an existing relationship/framework agreement, or other conditions that support awarding without competition. In practical terms, this kind of notice often functions as a public transparency step indicating the agency plans to fund a specific partner rather than inviting broad proposals from the public.
The estimated total funding amount listed is $155,015, with one expected award. No cost sharing or matching is required. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which usually indicates that the financial specifics are governed by the task agreement and supporting documents rather than being expressed as standard minimum/maximum ranges in the public listing. Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because the award is noncompetitive and tied to a master cooperative agreement, eligibility in the practical sense is likely constrained to the intended partner organization identified in the attached announcement referenced by NPS.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on April 14, 2011, with an original and current closing date of April 18, 2011, and an archive date of May 18, 2011. The very short window is consistent with a notice-of-intent/noncompetitive posting, where the agency is not soliciting full applications from a wide applicant pool but is instead completing the required public notice steps associated with the planned task agreement award.
