Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "2nd Nature Engage Diverse Urban Youth in Partnership Program, Youth Employment and the Arts" (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00133) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding notice tied to the Natural Resources funding activity category and listed under CFDA 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship. The project focus is on connecting underserved urban youth who are enrolled in the 2nd Nature program with a series of meaningful, structured national park experiences over an extended period, specifically spanning from Summer/Winter 2015 through Spring/Summer 2016. Alongside these park-based experiences, participating youth are expected to create arts, media, and digital storytelling outputs designed to be shared broadly with local, regional, and national audiences, reinforcing both youth voice and public engagement with national parks.
This notice is published as a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS anticipates substantial involvement in the project’s execution rather than acting solely as a pass-through funder. Importantly, it is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the NPS intends to continue funding ongoing project activities without full and open competition. In practice, that indicates the agency is continuing an existing relationship or project arrangement rather than seeking new applicants through an open call.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The posting date and creation date are both May 13, 2015, with an original and current closing date of May 23, 2015, and an archive date of June 13, 2015. The funding fields in the listing show an estimated total funding amount of $0 and award ceiling and floor amounts of $0, which is consistent with certain continuation or non-competitive notices where the public listing functions primarily as a transparency and procedural posting rather than a conventional, competed funding announcement with a stated funding pool.
For more details, the listing directs readers to Grants.gov via the additional information link: http://www.grants.gov. The NPS contact listed for access issues and related questions is Rita Mihalik, Financial Assistance Officer, reachable at 301-663-1481 x5 and by email at ritamihalik@nps.gov.
