Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Appalachian Trail Conservation by Youth Service in Maine" is a National Park Service (NPS) funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is issued as a Notice of Intent to Award, which means it is not a competitive solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, the purpose of the posting is to publicly document NPS's intention to make a single award without full and open competition, using a cooperative agreement vehicle.
The planned recipient is the Maine Department of Conservation, working through the Maine Conservation Corps (MCC). The project focus, reflected in the opportunity title and the associated CFDA listing, is conservation work connected to the Appalachian Trail in Maine carried out through youth service organizations. The funding activity category is listed as Education, and the CFDA program number is 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which typically supports hands-on conservation and stewardship work while providing structured service and learning opportunities for participating youth or corps members.
Financially, the opportunity indicates one expected award with a total estimated funding amount of $100,000. The award ceiling and award floor are both $100,000, signaling that the intended award amount is fixed at that level rather than a range. The announcement also notes that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash, in-kind services, or other allowable match) as part of the overall project budget, consistent with the terms that would be laid out in the cooperative agreement.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, which aligns with the named intended partner, the Maine Department of Conservation. Key dates show the notice was posted and created on July 21, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 26, 2011, and an archive date of July 27, 2011. Those dates are typical for a notice-type posting whose primary role is transparency and documentation rather than providing a window for new applicants to compete.
