Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) posted a government funding notice titled "Engaging youth in Parks As Classrooms at Channel Islands National Park" (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00325). The notice is classified as a discretionary education-related opportunity under a Cooperative Agreement, and it is tied to CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations." The intent of the project, based on the title and program category, is to support youth engagement and learning through park-based educational experiences at Channel Islands National Park, using the park as an outdoor classroom setting.
This announcement is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award, not a Request for Applications. In practical terms, that means the NPS is not soliciting proposals from the public and is not running a competitive application process for this funding. Instead, the posting serves as a public notice that NPS intends to fund a specific set of project activities without full and open competition. The notice also indicates that the work will be carried out under an existing "umbrella" Cooperative Agreement already established with a particular organization, with the project implemented through a Task Agreement. The sole-source approach and the rationale for not competing the award are referenced as being explained in an attached Notice of Intent (not included in the text you provided), which would typically document why a specific organization is uniquely positioned to perform the work and why competition is not being pursued.
Funding is limited and narrowly scoped. The estimated total funding and the award ceiling are both listed as $35,000, with an award floor of $0, and the expected number of awards is one. No cost sharing or matching funds are required, meaning the recipient is not expected to contribute a specified non-federal share as a condition of the award. The eligible applicant category is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), although the noncompetitive nature of the announcement indicates that eligibility information is mainly informational rather than an invitation for new applicants to apply.
Key dates show that the notice was posted and created on September 2, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 5, 2014, and an archive date of September 12, 2014. These dates align with typical federal practice for public-notice postings of intended sole-source awards, where the "closing" date functions more like the end of the public notice period rather than a deadline for proposal submission.
