Opportunity Summary:
The Capacity Building and Groundwork Assembly grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS WASO P12AC13090) was issued by the National Park Service under its education-related funding activities and is tied to CFDA 15.921, Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance. The award was designed to strengthen Groundwork USA and its national network by supporting training, convening, and organizational development connected to the Groundwork USA Assembly and Youth Summit held in New York City and Yonkers, New York. In practical terms, the funding focuses on helping Groundwork staff and board members take part in structured training programs, with the broader goal of improving skills, leadership capacity, and shared practices across the network.
The core objectives are twofold. First, the task agreement supports planning and facilitation so Groundwork personnel and board leadership can fully participate in professional development and training sessions offered during the Assembly and Youth Summit. Second, it supports the growth of the Groundwork model by helping develop new Groundwork Trusts, expanding the network into additional communities, and increasing Groundwork USA's capacity to guide and support that expansion. The emphasis is not only on hosting an event, but on using the convening as a vehicle for building long-term capability: better prepared leaders, stronger organizational infrastructure, and a more scalable support system for emerging and existing local Trusts.
In terms of funding details, the opportunity anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $80,000, which also served as the award ceiling. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, and the award floor was listed as $0. The opportunity category was labeled "Other" and the instrument type was a grant, although the eligibility language makes clear this posting functioned as a notice connected to an existing cooperative agreement rather than an open solicitation.
Eligibility was not presented as broadly competitive. The announcement explicitly states it is a notification of award under Cooperative Agreement H4531110704 and that it is not a request for quote. The posted date and creation date were August 16, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 26, 2012, reflecting an intent-to-award timeline rather than an application window typical of competitive grant programs. The record was archived on September 25, 2012.
For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Jaime Mijares, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 303-969-2755 or by email at jaimemijares@nps.gov.
