Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0001
The Journey through Hallowed Ground National Heritage Area opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 18 NERO 0001) is a National Park Service notice stating the agency's intent to make a single, non-competitive financial assistance award through a cooperative agreement. It is not an open solicitation and is not requesting applications from the public. Instead, it functions as a formal public notice that the Department of the Interior, National Park Service plans to support specific project activities tied to the Journey Through Hallowed Ground National Heritage Area (NHA) through an award to Journey Through Hallowed Ground Partnership, Inc.
The intended recipient is a nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status (CFDA 15.939), and the notice anticipates one award. Although the posting lists an award ceiling of 0, the substance of the announcement makes clear that funding would be provided through task agreements under the broader cooperative agreement, and that the recipient is expected to provide a 50/50 match to the federal funds made available through those task agreements. In practice, this means the organization must leverage non-federal cash and/or eligible in-kind contributions to meet half of the total project cost associated with the funded tasks, consistent with the terms established in the agreement and applicable federal assistance rules.
The core purpose of the funded work is to support the NHA in a way that aligns with the enabling legislation and to carry out the NHA Management Plan. The announcement emphasizes implementation through defined work plans and budgets, which indicates the partnership will propose specific tasks, timelines, and costs that are then executed under task agreements. This structure reflects the cooperative agreement model, where there is typically substantial federal involvement and ongoing coordination between NPS and the recipient as work is planned, refined, and delivered.
Several ongoing responsibilities are spelled out for the partnership as part of implementing the Management Plan. First, the organization must hold public meetings at least twice per year focused on Management Plan implementation, reinforcing public transparency and community input as the plan moves from paper to action. Second, implementation must be collaborative, explicitly including local governments, regional planning organizations, and other nonprofit organizations. This requirement signals that the NHA work is intended to be regionally coordinated and partnership-driven rather than carried out by a single entity in isolation.
The announcement also highlights legal and regulatory compliance as a required component of the work. The partnership must comply with all applicable state and federal laws, specifically referencing the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). That means as projects are developed, the recipient must ensure environmental review and cultural resource considerations are addressed where required, and that activities are planned in a way that meets federal standards for analysis, consultation, and documentation. Relatedly, the partnership is responsible for preparing compliance documents for review and approval by NPS and/or the relevant state authorities, indicating that documentation and permitting or clearance steps are an expected deliverable tied to funded activities.
Key administrative details include the posting date (Nov 02, 2017) and an original closing date (Nov 11, 2017), though the "closing" here functions more as a posting window for the public notice rather than a deadline for competitive submissions. Overall, the notice communicates that NPS intends to directly fund and collaborate with the designated nonprofit partner to implement the Journey Through Hallowed Ground NHA Management Plan, engage the public regularly, coordinate with regional stakeholders, and complete required environmental and historic preservation compliance work as projects proceed.Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0001
