Opportunity Information: Apply for P20AS00023
This grant opportunity, titled "NOTICE OF INTENT: Implementation of the Sangre de Cristo National Heritage Area Management Plan" (Funding Opportunity Number P20AS00023), is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service. It was created on December 16, 2019, with an original closing date of December 26, 2019. The program falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is listed under CFDA 15.939. The opportunity anticipates a single award, with an award ceiling of $1.
The underlying authority for this award comes from Public Law 111-11, Title VIII, Subtitle A, Section 8001, which formally established the Sangre de Cristo National Heritage Area (SdCNHA). That law also directed the Secretary of the Interior to enter into a compact with the designated management entity, reflecting the National Heritage Area model where local or regional partners lead implementation while the National Park Service provides federal partnership, technical support, and oversight through an agreement structure. The cooperative agreement format signals that the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the work, rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant with minimal federal engagement.
The purpose of the cooperative agreement is to support implementation of the SdCNHA management plan. That management plan serves as the central roadmap for how the heritage area will be interpreted, conserved, and managed over time, and it is designed to meet the requirements laid out in the establishing Act. In practical terms, the funded effort is meant to move the plan from a planning document into on-the-ground action by advancing coordinated projects and partnerships that protect resources, enhance public understanding, and guide stewardship across the heritage area.
The opportunity description also reinforces what National Heritage Areas are intended to represent. These areas are nationally significant landscapes where natural, cultural, historic, and scenic resources come together to tell a cohesive story shaped by the interaction between people and place. The emphasis is on living landscapes: the physical features that remain, the traditions that have developed there, and the way geography and human activity together created patterns that reflect broader themes in U.S. history. Congress recognizes National Heritage Areas specifically for their ability to communicate nationally important stories, and this opportunity is framed as part of that larger mission by helping implement the interpretive and conservation framework established for the Sangre de Cristo region.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced as being provided in an "Additional Information on Eligibility" section (not included in the excerpt). That phrasing commonly indicates the award is intended for a specific type of entity, often the congressionally recognized management entity or an eligible partner organization identified in the heritage area’s authorizing language or related agreements, rather than an open competition among all applicant types.Apply for P20AS00023
