Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Establishing Groundwork Richmond, VA" (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00218) was issued by the National Park Service under the Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance program (CFDA 15.921). It was categorized as a continuation award and would have been made through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to stay actively involved in the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The activity category listed is regional development, suggesting the work was intended to support community-based planning, coordination, and on-the-ground groundwork connected to conservation, recreation access, river and trail initiatives, or related place-based revitalization efforts in and around Richmond, Virginia.
In terms of funding, the announcement listed an award ceiling of $88,347 and an award floor of $1. It also specified that no cost sharing or matching funds were required, meaning the recipient would not have been obligated to contribute a set percentage of non-federal funds to receive the award. The eligible applicant category was listed broadly as "Others," with a note to see additional eligibility details; however, the most important eligibility detail is that this posting was a Notification of Intent to Award, explicitly stating that no applications would be accepted. In practice, that indicates the National Park Service had already identified the intended recipient (often due to an existing partnership, prior phase of work, or statutory/administrative justification for a continuation action), and the listing functioned more as a public notice than a competitive funding opportunity.
The timeline reinforces that it was not an open competition. The opportunity was posted and created on August 21, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 31, 2013, and it was archived on September 1, 2013. Those dates typically reflect a short public posting window for transparency rather than an application period. Because it was a continuation cooperative agreement and not open for applications, prospective applicants would not have been able to submit proposals during that window.
For assistance accessing the full announcement, the contact listed was John Bechtold, Office Automation Clerk, reachable by phone at 303-969-2492. The announcement repeats the key point that it is a notification of intent to award and that no applications will be accepted, which is the main takeaway for anyone searching for active opportunities: this listing was informational and is no longer available for competition.
