Opportunity Summary:
The Community Engaged Art and Culture opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 16 NERO 0200) is a discretionary funding action from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, issued as a public notice on August 30, 2016. It falls under the Arts activity category (referenced as Cultural Affairs in CFDA) and is associated with CFDA number 15.954. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally signals that the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out or overseeing the project work rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back.
This notice is unusual in a way that matters for anyone looking to apply: it is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it announces the National Park Service's intent to support specific project activities without competition. In practical terms, that means there is no open call for proposals under this announcement, and the agency is signaling that it plans to make a direct, non-competitive award rather than run a competitive selection process. The posting functions mainly as transparency for the public record that the agency intends to fund the identified work through a single award.
The announcement indicates an expected number of awards of one, with an award ceiling of $50,000. The original closing date listed is September 9, 2016, which in contexts like this typically serves as the end of the public notice window rather than a deadline for submitting an application, since applications are not being solicited. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the instruction to see the additional eligibility information in the full text for clarification, which often suggests a specific partner type or a limited class of organizations that the agency considers appropriate for the intended non-competitive award.
Overall, this funding opportunity is best read as a formal notice that the National Park Service planned to enter into one cooperative agreement, up to $50,000, to support community-engaged art and culture-related activities under CFDA 15.954, and that the award was intended to be made directly rather than through a competitive application process.
