Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "Green Infrastructure Demonstration Projects, Education and Partnership Building" is a cooperative agreement designed to strengthen how the NPS approaches strategic conservation planning by using a Green Infrastructure framework. At its core, the grant is meant to help the NPS refine and expand practical tools and real-world examples that show how interconnected natural landscapes and conservation priorities can be planned and managed in a more coordinated way across the National Park System and related NPS program areas. The work is intended to be visible, replicable, and useful to parks and partners in multiple regions of the country, rather than limited to a single site or a one-off effort.
A major component of the project is the development and support of Green Infrastructure demonstration projects. The selected recipient is expected to help identify specific projects that can clearly illustrate what Green Infrastructure looks like in practice, including the methods used to plan and implement it and the conservation outcomes it can produce. These demonstration projects are meant to showcase how strategic conservation initiatives can be applied to park management and landscape-scale resource protection, with examples spread across several regions to reflect different ecological and management contexts.
Another central piece is education and training. The opportunity emphasizes collaborative planning and delivery of learning events that build capacity around Green Infrastructure planning. This includes supporting or co-sponsoring training courses, workshops, and conferences. The idea is not only to provide information but also to create practical learning experiences that help park staff, partner organizations, and other stakeholders understand how to apply Green Infrastructure concepts in planning and decision-making.
The grant also prioritizes outreach and marketing to broaden awareness and adoption of Green Infrastructure practices as they relate to NPS stewardship of public lands. Planned outreach includes producing case studies and other publications, developing web-based educational resources, convening roundtables, and conducting outreach to other organizations. This part of the work is meant to translate technical planning concepts into usable products and conversations that can reach a wider audience, encourage shared approaches, and highlight results from demonstration efforts.
Partnership building is treated as a core deliverable rather than a side benefit. The opportunity calls for advancing Green Infrastructure through active partnerships between the NPS, nongovernmental organizations, and other efforts at federal, regional, state, and local levels. The recipient is expected to help sustain and expand these networks by continually identifying and engaging additional organizations and individuals who can contribute to Green Infrastructure planning and implementation connected to NPS priorities.
Finally, the opportunity includes a funding support and coordination component focused on identifying potential public and private funding sources for Green Infrastructure-related work. This is not described as simply raising money for a single project; it is framed as building knowledge and pathways to support demonstration projects, education, outreach, and related initiatives undertaken by the NPS and its partners. The recipient would play a leadership role in collecting and distributing funding information so that parks and partners can more effectively pursue future support.
In terms of roles, the recipient is expected to provide leadership across several areas: conducting demonstration projects, leading education and training activities, sharing leadership in partnership development, and leading efforts to gather and share funding information. The recipient is also expected to provide meeting space for courses, workshops, and conferences when available. The NPS role is collaborative and supportive rather than passive; NPS commits to assisting with education and training, sharing leadership on partnership development, and helping collect and distribute funding information tied to the agreement.
Administratively, this was a discretionary opportunity using a cooperative agreement instrument, which signals substantial involvement by the NPS during the project rather than a hands-off grant. It was categorized under Education as the funding activity area, with one expected award. The estimated total funding amount listed is $25,000, with an award floor of $1 and an award ceiling of $50,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is described as unrestricted (open broadly to applicant types, subject to any clarifications in the full notice). The opportunity was posted February 3, 2011, with a closing date of February 7, 2011, and later archived March 9, 2011. The funding opportunity number is NPS NOI WASO 2240110091, and the agency is the National Park Service. Contact information in the notice references a contract specialist, Heidi Sage, with a phone number listed for assistance accessing the full announcement.
