Opportunity Summary:
The Bubbs Creek and South Fork Kings River Project is a National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity focused on practical trail maintenance work in the front-country areas of Kings Canyon National Park, specifically within the South Fork Kings River and Bubbs Creek trail districts. The core purpose is to support on-the-ground stewardship by having personnel from the California Conservation Corps (CCC) and the NPS work together on maintaining and improving trails. In plain terms, the project is designed to keep heavily used routes safe, functional, and environmentally sustainable by addressing routine wear, drainage issues, and other conditions that typically affect front-country trail systems.
This opportunity was released by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (Agency: DOI-NPS) as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning the recipient is expected to work closely with the NPS rather than operate fully independently. The funding instrument type being a cooperative agreement signals substantial federal involvement in coordinating, guiding, or participating in the project work. The funding activity category is listed as Employment, Labor and Training, which fits the CCC partnership model where conservation work is also a workforce development and training pathway.
The grant opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00027 and falls under CFDA 15.931. The award ceiling is $100,000, and the NPS expected to make one award, indicating a single project partner would be selected to carry out the work described. The posting date and creation date were both January 13, 2016, and the closing date was January 27, 2016, reflecting a short application window typical of some targeted operational or partnership-driven maintenance projects.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education. That constraint suggests the opportunity was intended for a specific type of partner organization structure, often aligned with certain public-serving nonprofit entities, conservation corps partners, or similarly situated organizations that can operate in collaboration with federal land managers under established partnership frameworks.
Overall, the project is a targeted, collaborative trail maintenance effort in Kings Canyon front country areas, funded up to $100,000 through a single cooperative agreement award, with the CCC and NPS jointly carrying out the work to maintain trail infrastructure and conditions in the South Fork Kings River and Bubbs Creek trail districts.
