Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00274
This grant opportunity, titled "NOTICE OF INTENT: FY2019 Yuma Crossing NHA Implementation of Management Plan" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00274), is a discretionary National Park Service funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement with the recipient during the life of the project rather than simply issuing funds with minimal federal engagement. The overall focus falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category, and it is associated with CFDA 15.939.
The purpose of the award is to support implementation of the approved Management Plan for the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area (YCNHA). The opportunity is grounded in the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-319), as later amended by Public Law 109-318. That legislation formally establishes the YCNHA and directs the Secretary of the Interior to enter into a compact with the heritage area management entity, identified here as the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area Corporation (referred to as "Yuma Crossing"). In practical terms, the funding is meant to help the heritage area carry out the activities and commitments laid out in its congressionally recognized planning framework.
The program rationale emphasizes what National Heritage Areas are intended to do: protect and interpret landscapes where natural, cultural, historic, and scenic resources come together to tell nationally significant stories. The notice highlights that these places reflect the national experience through remaining physical features, historic patterns of settlement and land use, and enduring local traditions shaped by geography and human activity. Congress recognizes these regions because they can communicate nationally important themes in American history and identity, often through partnerships rather than direct federal ownership or control of land.
In terms of eligible work, the notice indicates that the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area will use the support to advance community-based historic preservation and environmental conservation initiatives tied directly to the approved Management Plan and serving a public purpose under the authorizing laws. Alongside preservation and conservation, the heritage area is also expected to carry out public outreach and programming projects, which typically include interpretation, education, community engagement, events, signage, exhibits, or other efforts that help residents and visitors understand and connect with the area’s resources and stories.
The funding details included in the source data show an award ceiling of $343,000 and an expectation of a single award. The eligibility field is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which usually signals that the competition is limited or tailored, often to the designated local management entity or a narrow set of partners identified in the heritage area’s authorizing statute or compact. The opportunity was posted June 14, 2019, with an original closing date of June 24, 2019, reflecting a short application window consistent with a notice of intent and a likely targeted cooperative agreement.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as federal support for a congressionally designated heritage area to carry out planned, public-benefit projects that preserve key historic and environmental resources and expand public understanding through outreach and programming, all aligned with the Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area’s approved Management Plan and implemented in coordination with the National Park Service.Apply for P19AS00274
