Opportunity Summary:
The Appalachian Trail Community Partner Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 11 NERO 0046) is a National Park Service notice stating the agency's intent to make a single award through a cooperative agreement. This posting is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award" and "NOT A REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS," meaning it is not an open, competitive grant solicitation. Instead of inviting new proposals from the public, the National Park Service is using this announcement to provide transparency that it plans to fund specific project activities without full and open competition.
The planned funding is structured as a Task Agreement (P11AT40509) issued under an already-existing Cooperative Agreement (H0500000002) with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy. In practical terms, this indicates the NPS had an established partnership vehicle in place with the Conservancy and intended to use that mechanism to carry out the work described, rather than opening a new competition. The activity focus is described under the category explanation as conservation work to develop, promote, and protect the Appalachian Trail, which suggests the funded tasks are intended to support stewardship, community partnership efforts, and related trail conservation objectives consistent with the NPS mission.
Financially, the announcement indicates an estimated total funding amount of $123,750, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $123,750, which effectively signals a fixed, predetermined award amount. Only one award was expected. The posting also states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving this specific award.
In terms of eligibility, the listing identifies eligible applicants as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because this is not a request for applications and the award is tied to an existing cooperative agreement with the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, the eligibility statement functions more as a categorical classification than an invitation for other organizations to apply.
The timing details show the notice was posted and created on June 23, 2011, with an original and current closing date of June 28, 2011, and an archive date of June 29, 2011. Those dates align with the idea that the notice was primarily for public posting and recordkeeping rather than a window for competitive submission. Anyone seeking the full documentation was directed to the attachment under the Full Announcement link on Grants.gov, and the contact listed for access issues was Jennifer Fleming, Contract/Agreements Specialist at the National Park Service (phone 215-597-6476).
