Opportunity Summary:
The FY 16 Preserve America Youth Summit grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP16AC00467) was posted by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS) as a discretionary funding opportunity focused on education. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the National Park Service expected to have substantial involvement in carrying out the supported activities rather than simply issuing funds with minimal federal participation. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.931, indicating it falls under an established federal assistance area administered by DOI/NPS.
This notice is explicitly described as a "notice of intent" for a "noncompetitive award" under the Department of the Interior's internal policy framework (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). In practical terms, that wording usually signals that the agency planned to make an award without an open competition, often because a specific project partner, unique qualifications, or continuity of an ongoing effort has already been identified and justified under the cited departmental authority. Rather than inviting broad proposals in the usual competitive sense, the posting functions more like a formal public notice that the agency intends to fund a particular recipient or project, with additional details referenced in an attached announcement.
Eligibility for this opportunity was limited to nonprofit organizations with recognized 501(c)(3) status from the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. The listing anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The opportunity was created and posted on April 12, 2016, with an original and current closing date of April 21, 2016, reflecting a short window that is common for noncompetitive notices where the agency is meeting transparency requirements rather than seeking a wide pool of applicants. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which often indicates that the specific funding amount was either to be determined, described in the attachment rather than in the summary fields, or handled in a way where the public posting does not state a maximum dollar figure.
Overall, the opportunity can be characterized as a National Park Service education-focused cooperative agreement connected to the Preserve America Youth Summit initiative, published primarily to document the agency's intent to issue a single, noncompetitive award under DOI policy. For substantive details such as project scope, expected outcomes, period of performance, federal involvement, reporting requirements, and the anticipated recipient, the announcement indicates that the attached document (not included in the text provided here) would contain the key specifics.
