Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00564
The grant opportunity titled "ATCHAFALAYA NATIONAL HERITAGE AREA- Modification 1" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00564) is a discretionary federal funding action administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through the National Park Service. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the project during the period of performance rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The listed activity category is Education, reflecting that the supported work is tied to heritage interpretation, public understanding, community engagement, and related programmatic operations that commonly fall under educational purposes in National Park Service assistance programs.
This announcement is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award rather than an open call for proposals. In practical terms, that means it is not asking the public to submit applications and it is not setting up a competitive selection process. Instead, it serves as public notification that the National Park Service plans to fund a specific federal financial assistance project without full and open competition. The notice states there is no application closing date because applications are not being solicited; the purpose is transparency about the agency's intent to make an award to a particular recipient or for a particular project scope under limited-competition circumstances.
The project purpose is straightforward: operational support of the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area. Operational support generally refers to the ongoing functions needed to run and sustain the heritage area organization and its core programming. While the notice does not list line-item tasks, operational support in a National Heritage Area context commonly includes coordination among partners, planning and administration, educational and interpretive programming, outreach and communications, heritage tourism support, stewardship initiatives, and other day-to-day activities that keep the heritage area functioning and delivering public value consistent with its authorizing goals.
The opportunity lists an award ceiling of $332,097 and anticipates one award, which aligns with the intent-to-award format and the operational nature of the funding. The CFDA number provided is 15.939, which is associated with National Park Service financial assistance for National Heritage Areas, indicating the funding sits within an established assistance framework used for similar heritage area support projects.
Eligibility is defined narrowly: "Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education." That phrasing indicates the intended eligible recipient type is a nonprofit entity that is not classified as a 501(c)(3), excluding universities from that particular carve-out. This kind of eligibility specification often corresponds to the organizational structure of a designated local coordinating entity or similar nonprofit partner responsible for administering heritage area activities, which may not always be organized as a 501(c)(3) even though it operates on a nonprofit basis.
Key identifying details include the creation date of August 20, 2019, the administering agency (National Park Service), the funding instrument (cooperative agreement), the program purpose (operational support), and the single-award expectation up to $332,097. Overall, this notice is best understood as a formal public statement that the National Park Service intended to provide targeted operational funding to support ongoing work of the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area through a cooperative agreement, rather than as a competitive grant opportunity open for general application.Apply for P19AS00564
