Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Development of GW Cincinnati - Mill Creek" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00024) is a National Park Service (DOI-NPS) cooperative agreement intended to strengthen and advance the work of Groundwork Cincinnati - Mill Creek (GW CMC) in Cincinnati, Ohio. The overall purpose is community-focused: supporting projects and programs that are led or shaped by local residents and that improve environmental conditions and public spaces along and around the Mill Creek corridor. The opportunity emphasizes practical, on-the-ground outcomes such as conservation activities, engaging youth in environmental and community improvement work, addressing contaminated or underused industrial properties through brownfield remediation efforts, and expanding or enhancing green infrastructure and green space improvements.
A key theme of the award is building and stewarding long-term community assets. The funding is aimed at helping GW CMC develop, improve, and care for parkland and other outdoor public resources, including recreation areas, nature reserves, and trail systems. In other words, the work supported under this agreement is not limited to one narrow project type; it is designed to reinforce a broader portfolio of place-based initiatives that connect environmental restoration with public access, community health, and neighborhood revitalization.
Administratively, this opportunity is categorized as a continuation and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically indicates ongoing partnership and substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the work rather than a hands-off grant. It falls under the Community Development activity category (CFDA 15.921). The posted and creation dates are January 7, 2016, and it anticipated a single award with a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $50,000.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. However, the listing also makes clear that it is effectively not open for competition: it is issued as a "Notification of Intent to Award," and no applications are accepted under the stated original and current closing dates. This indicates the funding was planned for a specific recipient or continuation partner arrangement rather than being a public, open-submission opportunity.
