Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00386
BLUE RIDGE NATIONAL HERITAGE AREA - Modification 12 (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00386) is a discretionary federal funding action from the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS) that supports the ongoing operations and programmatic needs of the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area. The activity is categorized under Education and is associated with CFDA number 15.939. The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work beyond simply issuing funds, such as coordination, oversight, participation in key planning decisions, or collaboration on deliverables tied to the heritage area mission.
This posting is not an open call for proposals and it is not asking the public to apply. It is specifically described as a Notice of Intent to Award, issued to provide public notice that the NPS intends to fund a particular federal financial assistance project without full and open competition. In practical terms, that typically indicates the agency has identified a specific recipient organization and is proceeding through a justified non-competitive award process rather than running a standard competitive grant cycle. Because it is not a request for applications, there is no application deadline in the normal sense; the listing states that the original closing date is effectively replaced by the notice language explaining the non-competitive intent.
Eligibility, as stated in the record, is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status recognized by the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1), reinforcing that it is intended for one specific partner rather than multiple subrecipients. The maximum stated funding amount (award ceiling) is $690,000, which reflects the upper limit for this modification and signals the scale of federal support being provided for the heritage area work described.
The core purpose of the funded project is straightforward: "Operations and support of the BLUE RIDGE NATIONAL HERITAGE AREA." While the notice does not itemize tasks, operations and support funding for a National Heritage Area commonly covers activities such as administrative and staffing support, coordination among regional partners, planning and management functions, public education and interpretation, community engagement, stewardship initiatives, and implementation of programming that advances the heritage area’s authorizing goals. Under a cooperative agreement, those kinds of efforts are typically carried out in close coordination with NPS to ensure alignment with federal priorities, compliance requirements, and agreed-upon outcomes.
In summary, this is a single-recipient, non-competitive cooperative agreement action by the National Park Service, created July 16, 2019, to provide up to $690,000 for the continued operation and support of the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area under the education activity category, limited to eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations other than colleges and universities.Apply for P19AS00386
