Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0006
The "Journey through Hallowed Ground National Heritage Area" notice (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 18 NERO 0006) is a National Park Service (NPS), Department of the Interior announcement that serves strictly as a public notification of intent to award funding, not as an open call for new applications. In practical terms, this means the NPS is signaling that it plans to issue a task agreement under an existing master cooperative agreement that has already been competed previously or supported by a single-source justification. Because of that, there is no competitive application process associated with this posting, and the short "closing date" listed (December 28, 2017) functions more as an administrative marker for the public notice than a deadline for submitting proposals.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the supported work rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The opportunity is categorized as "Mandatory" and falls under CFDA 15.939. The notice anticipates one award with an award ceiling of $56,000, reflecting a relatively focused, project-specific scope rather than a large multi-year program competition. Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), aligning with the typical governance and partnership structure of National Heritage Areas where a nonprofit coordinating entity often leads planning, interpretation, and community engagement activities in collaboration with government partners.
The core purpose of the task agreement is to support implementation of the Journey through Hallowed Ground National Heritage Area Management Plan in line with the authorizing legislation and the terms of the master agreement. The recipient, identified as JTHG, is expected to carry out the FY18 Work Plan and Budget referenced as Attachment A. While the notice does not enumerate individual line-item activities, it clearly establishes the types of responsibilities that will accompany the funding: the recipient must move forward with management plan implementation, maintain an ongoing public process, and ensure coordination across jurisdictions and stakeholder groups.
A major emphasis of the agreement is public engagement and inclusive planning. JTHG is required to hold public meetings at least twice per year focused on management plan implementation, reinforcing transparency and providing a recurring forum for community input. In addition, JTHG must include units of local government, regional planning organizations, and nonprofit organizations in developing the management plan, reflecting the multi-partner nature of heritage area work where land remains largely in non-federal ownership and progress depends on voluntary cooperation, alignment with local plans, and sustained stakeholder participation.
The notice also highlights regulatory compliance obligations that commonly apply to federally supported cultural and natural resource projects. JTHG must comply with all applicable state and federal laws, explicitly naming the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). That requirement signals that any on-the-ground actions, interpretive installations, planning decisions, or other activities with potential environmental or historic preservation effects may need review, consultation, and documentation. To support that, JTHG is also responsible for preparing compliance documents for NPS and/or state approval, ensuring that the federal agency and relevant state entities have what they need to meet oversight responsibilities before activities proceed.
Taken together, this opportunity is best understood as a targeted, cooperative, implementation-focused award intended for an established nonprofit partner coordinating the Journey through Hallowed Ground National Heritage Area. It funds a specific year of work under an already-established agreement framework, with clear expectations around management plan execution, semi-annual public meetings, broad stakeholder involvement, and full compliance with environmental and historic preservation review requirements.Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0006
