Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS NOI SERO P17AP00330
This grant opportunity, titled "Develop Educational Outreach Materials for the Isaiah T. Montgomery House and Mound Bayou, MS" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOI SERO P17AP00330), is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications or proposals. Instead, it serves as formal public notice that NPS intends to issue a grant agreement to a specific organization: Mississippi Heritage Trust. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, uses the grant funding instrument type, and falls under the education activity category (CFDA 15.954). Although the eligible applicant type listed is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the notice makes clear that the award is already intended for Mississippi Heritage Trust rather than being competitively competed.
The purpose of the award centers on creating educational outreach materials connected to the Isaiah T. Montgomery House and the broader story of Mound Bayou, Mississippi. The Montgomery House, constructed in 1910, carries multiple layers of recognized historical significance: it was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1976 and later named a Mississippi Landmark in 2003. Its endangered status is also emphasized, as it was listed in 2013 among Mississippi Heritage Trust's Ten Most Endangered Places in Mississippi. The description underscores that the house is currently vacant and deteriorating, framing outreach and interpretation work as part of the broader effort to highlight the site's value and support awareness of its preservation needs.
The narrative justification for the project is grounded in Isaiah T. Montgomery's role in American history. Montgomery was formerly enslaved and, after the Civil War, became the founder of Mound Bayou, described here as one of the oldest and largest African-American towns in the United States. The opportunity positions Montgomery's life and public activities as a Mississippi statesman as an important lens for understanding race relations in the early twentieth-century South. It also points to the Montgomery House as more than a residence: it functioned as a center of political activity, making it a tangible setting for interpreting community leadership, Black self-determination, governance, and social dynamics during a critical period in Mississippi and U.S. history.
In practical terms, while the notice does not spell out product specifications in the excerpt provided, the stated project focus is the development of educational outreach materials. That typically implies interpretive and public-facing resources designed to communicate the significance of the house and the town to broader audiences, which may include printed or digital educational content, interpretive narratives, curriculum-oriented materials, or other outreach tools that support learning and public engagement. The announcement repeatedly directs readers to the attached full announcement for additional details, suggesting that deliverables, scope, and any formal requirements would be outlined there rather than in the brief notice text.
Administratively, the record shows an original closing date of 2017-08-10 and a creation date of 2017-08-01, reflecting the timeframe when the public notice was posted. The listing shows an award ceiling of 0 and does not specify a dollar amount, which can occur in notices where the funding figure is provided elsewhere (such as the full announcement) or where the posting is intended primarily to satisfy transparency requirements rather than to advertise a competitive funding opportunity. The expected awards field is not populated in the provided data, consistent with the fact that the notice is for an intended single award to a named recipient.Apply for NPS NOI SERO P17AP00330
