Opportunity Summary:
The Chattahoochee River PLC Trail Crew opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00005) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS) under CFDA 15.931. It supports a Youth Engagement and Development Program focused on creating meaningful work, education, and training experiences for a young adult crew while completing on-the-ground conservation work for the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. The core project objective is to engage a crew in collaborative trail operations, specifically carrying out roughly 5 miles of trail-related duties that contribute to the maintenance and improvement of recreation area infrastructure and visitor access.
The funding is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in project implementation, coordination, or oversight rather than simply providing pass-through funding. The announced award ceiling is $39,979, and the opportunity anticipates making a single award. While nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) are listed as eligible applicants, the notice is explicitly described as a notice of intent for a restricted award and not a request for applications. In practical terms, that indicates the agency is signaling its intent to fund a specific partner or limited set of partners and is not running an open competitive application process for new applicants at this time.
The opportunity was created and posted on November 24, 2015, and both the original and current closing date fields reiterate that there is no application deadline because it is not an open solicitation. Overall, the grant is best understood as targeted support for a youth trail crew project that combines workforce development and training with tangible trail maintenance outcomes in a National Park Service-managed recreation area, with a relatively small budget cap and a single expected recipient under a cooperative working relationship with NPS.
