Opportunity Summary:
The Community Outreach Coordinator grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00610) is a National Park Service (NPS) funding announcement under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It falls within the Natural Resources funding activity area and would be awarded as a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS would typically expect to have substantial involvement in shaping, supporting, or overseeing the work as it is carried out rather than simply issuing funds with minimal federal interaction.
The core purpose of the project is straightforward: the recipient would use the award to hire an intern who will carry out community outreach. That outreach is meant to reach a wide range of community and educational groups, with a clear emphasis on traditionally underrepresented populations and diverse communities. In practical terms, this kind of role commonly involves building relationships with local organizations, schools, youth programs, cultural groups, and other community-based partners; sharing information about NPS programs and opportunities; and helping make park-related education or engagement efforts more accessible and inclusive for audiences that have historically been less represented in park visitation, employment pipelines, or public lands programming.
Eligibility is limited primarily to nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (excluding institutions of higher education), along with certain other eligible applicants as described in the announcement's additional eligibility information. The award ceiling listed for the opportunity is $25,600, which indicates a relatively small, targeted project budget consistent with supporting an intern position and related outreach activities. The announcement was originally posted on September 6, 2016, with an original closing date of September 12, 2016, indicating a short application window. The listing notes an expected number of awards as 0, which can appear in some postings due to administrative or forecasting reasons and does not necessarily describe the value or intent of the project itself; the key takeaway is that the funding notice describes a specific outreach-focused internship effort tied to NPS community engagement priorities.
Overall, this opportunity is designed to strengthen connections between the National Park Service and diverse communities by resourcing a partner organization to place and support an intern whose main job is outreach, relationship-building, and engagement with community and educational groups, particularly those that have been underrepresented in traditional public lands programming.
