Opportunity Summary:
The "2012 Youth Summit - Rocky at 100" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI R12640003) was issued by the National Park Service as a discretionary cooperative agreement tied to natural resources education and stewardship. The project focus was the planning and coordination of a Youth Summit in 2012 connected to the upcoming 100th anniversary of Rocky Mountain National Park. The summit was intended to educate young participants through hands-on, interactive preservation activities, while also helping them apply what they learned to real-world anniversary planning discussions. A central theme of the event was the practical balancing act that national parks face: protecting natural resources and wildlife alongside historic and cultural resources, while still accommodating tourism and recreation.
This notice was not a typical open competition for funding. It was published as a Notice of Intent to Award (NOI), meaning the NPS had already identified its intended partner and was announcing its plan to issue a single-source task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement (P12AC30389). The intended recipient named in the announcement was Colorado Preservation, Inc., and the posting clarified that it was not a request for applications. In other words, other organizations were not being invited to submit proposals through Grants.gov for this specific award, even though the eligibility line broadly referenced "Others" with further clarification in the text.
Financially, the announcement listed an estimated total funding amount of $30,000 and noted that cost sharing or matching was required, indicating the recipient would need to contribute resources (cash or in-kind support, depending on the agreement terms) in addition to the federal funds. The opportunity anticipated one award, and both the award ceiling and floor were listed as $0, which commonly reflects that the funding amount is handled through the underlying agreement/task arrangement rather than through a standard competitive range format.
The timeline was extremely short because it was an intent-to-award notice rather than an application-based solicitation. The opportunity was posted and created on June 6, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 8, 2012, and it was archived on July 8, 2012. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed contact was Kristin ONeil, Contract Specialist, at 970-586-1236.
