Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service posted a notice titled "Conservation and Restoration Activities by Youth" under Funding Opportunity Number P12AC301175. Despite being formatted like a grant listing, the announcement explicitly states that it is not an open funding opportunity. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single-source award without competition, meaning the agency already intends to fund one specific recipient rather than solicit applications from the broader public.
The instrument type identified for the award is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds. The activity focus is listed under an "Other" category with the clarification "Conservation and Restoration," and the associated CFDA program is 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations. In practical terms, this points to conservation, restoration, and related hands-on resource stewardship work carried out through youth-focused service efforts, consistent with the goals of the CFDA program.
Financially, the notice indicates a single expected award with total estimated funding of $200,000. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $200,000, which strongly suggests the anticipated award amount is fixed at that level rather than being a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement identified, so the recipient would not be expected to provide a mandatory non-federal match as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is described as limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. Even though this eligibility category is provided, the single-source, noncompetitive nature of the notice means that organizations meeting eligibility requirements should not interpret the posting as an invitation to apply unless the full announcement explicitly provides a mechanism for doing so, which the notice itself cautions against.
Timing details show the announcement was posted and created on August 24, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 31, 2012, and an archive date of September 30, 2012. Those dates generally reflect the administrative window for posting and recordkeeping rather than a true application period, since the notice is not intended to solicit competing proposals.
For parties who need assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Susan Velie, Contract Specialist, at Olympic National Park, phone 360-565-3114.
