Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00629
The Gullah/Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00629) is a National Park Service (NPS), Department of the Interior funding action intended to support implementation of the Corridor's approved Management Plan. The work described is centered on carrying out key plan components that strengthen how the Corridor is administered, promoted, and interpreted for the public, while also building capacity to identify and support cultural resources and community-driven projects across the Corridor.
This opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and will be issued through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement during the period of performance rather than operating strictly as a pass-through funder. The program activity category is listed as Education, and the CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.939. The Notice was created on August 8, 2017, and it is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not an open call for applications and not a competitive solicitation. Instead, it serves as public notice that the NPS plans to fund a specific federal financial assistance project without full and open competition.
The anticipated award structure is a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $300,000. Eligible applicants are limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. In practical terms, the funding is aimed at an eligible nonprofit partner positioned to help execute the Corridor's Management Plan priorities in collaboration with the NPS and relevant stakeholders.
The scope of work focuses on implementing the Management Plan across several major functional areas. First is administration and operations, which typically covers the day-to-day management needs required to keep the Corridor initiative functioning effectively, such as coordination, oversight, governance support, reporting, and operational systems that ensure activities remain aligned with the plan. Second is marketing and visitor services, which generally includes outreach, communications, public-facing materials, and efforts that improve how visitors and local residents learn about and experience Corridor sites, stories, and programs. Third is planning, which suggests continued refinement and execution planning tied to Management Plan goals, including coordination among partners, setting priorities, and developing actionable strategies. Fourth is resource inventory, development, and interpretation, which commonly involves identifying and documenting cultural and heritage resources, supporting preservation and presentation efforts, and developing interpretive content that communicates the Gullah/Geechee story in accurate, respectful, and engaging ways. Finally, the grant includes grants and sub-grants, indicating that part of the work may involve administering funding to other entities or projects through subawards, supporting local initiatives that align with Corridor priorities.
Overall, the opportunity is a targeted, non-competitive cooperative agreement intended to provide up to $300,000 to a single qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofit to help the National Park Service advance the Gullah/Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor Management Plan through operational support, visitor-focused outreach, continued planning, cultural resource documentation and interpretation, and the management of grants or sub-grants that extend the work to partner and community projects.Apply for P17AS00629
