Opportunity Summary:
The CECH Cultural Landscape Improvement opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00163) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action issued as a cooperative agreement within the Education and Natural Resources activity area. Its core purpose is to support cultural landscape improvement and restoration work while simultaneously engaging FIELD youth in hands-on public service, training, and workforce development. In practical terms, the work covered under the task agreement focuses on restoring and maintaining cultural landscapes, with FIELD youth participating directly in restoration projects and related upkeep or maintenance tasks that help protect and enhance historically and culturally significant outdoor spaces.
This notice is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning it is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as public notice that NPS intends to fund a specific project under an existing cooperative relationship with FIELD. The posting date and creation date are both June 8, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 22, 2015, and the archive date listed as July 8, 2015. Because it is not a competitive call for proposals, the closing date functions more as an administrative timeline for the notice rather than an application deadline for the general public.
Funding for the project is set at a total of $28,000, with the award floor and award ceiling both fixed at $28,000, indicating a single anticipated award in a predetermined amount. No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed, so the recipient is not expected to provide additional non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds. The opportunity lists one expected award and references CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, which aligns with the youth engagement and conservation-oriented scope of the work.
Eligibility is described as "Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education," reflecting the specific eligibility category used for this action and consistent with the fact that it is tied to an existing cooperative arrangement rather than an open competition. For additional details, the notice points to Grants.gov as the information source. The NPS contact for access issues or questions is Paula Owens, Agreements Management Specialist, reachable at 805-370-2328 or via email at PaulaOwens@nps.gov.
