Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00056
This grant opportunity, titled "Notice of Intent: FY2018 Implementation of Management Plan" (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00056), comes from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and is designed to support early implementation work for the Cache la Poudre River National Heritage Area. The heritage area was formally established by Congress through the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-11, Title VIII, Subtitle A, Section 8002) as the successor to the Cache la Poudre River Corridor. In practical terms, the opportunity is about moving from an approved management plan into on-the-ground and programmatic action that advances the heritage area mission and delivers public benefits consistent with the authorizing legislation.
The management entity for the Cache la Poudre River National Heritage Area is the Poudre Heritage Alliance, a Colorado nonprofit that has operated since 1999. Working with local partners and with assistance from the National Park Service, the Alliance developed a Management Plan that has been approved by the Department of the Interior. This funding is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the National Park Service is expected to have an active role in the project rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant. The notice also indicates that, unless the task agreement states otherwise, the standard terms and conditions in the existing cooperative agreement apply, signaling continuity with an established partnership framework and compliance expectations.
The core purpose of the funding is to carry out activities identified in the approved management plan for the heritage area. The scope described centers on planning and administration (the coordination and organizational work needed to run heritage area programs), marketing and outreach (building visibility and public engagement around the heritage area story and resources), and enhancement and demonstration projects (tangible projects that improve, highlight, or interpret natural, cultural, historic, and scenic resources). The overall intent aligns with how National Heritage Areas are defined: landscapes where the mix of resources and human history creates a cohesive place that can tell nationally important stories. These areas are not traditional park units; instead, they rely heavily on partnerships, community involvement, interpretation, and strategic projects that reinforce stewardship and public understanding.
From the published funding details, this is a discretionary opportunity under the Natural Resources activity category, listed under CFDA 15.939. The anticipated award amount is relatively modest, with an award ceiling of $56,000 and an expectation of a single award, which suggests the opportunity is likely targeted and may be intended to fund a specific management plan implementation task or a defined set of near-term priorities rather than a broad, multi-recipient competition. Eligibility is listed as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full eligibility text, but the context strongly implies the intended recipient is the designated management entity (the Poudre Heritage Alliance) or a closely aligned partner able to carry out the management plan work under National Park Service collaboration.
The posting timeline reflects a short turnaround: it was created on January 18, 2018, with an original closing date of January 28, 2018. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a focused implementation award to support the next phase of work for the Cache la Poudre River National Heritage Area, emphasizing coordination, public-facing communication, and selected projects that demonstrate and advance the management plan goals under the authority of Public Law 111-11.Apply for P18AS00056
