Opportunity Summary:
The Green Renewable Energy Efficient Network (GREEN) grant opportunity was a National Park Service (NPS) Recovery Act-funded initiative designed to place youth corps members in national park settings to gain hands-on experience while supporting conservation and sustainability-related work. The core idea was to use NPS parks as a practical learning environment, described as a "laboratory," where participants could build skills through real projects tied to renewable energy, energy efficiency, and broader resource stewardship within the national parks. The program emphasis was on experiential involvement in the natural and cultural resources of Americas National Parks, pairing workforce development for corps members with on-the-ground benefits for park operations and conservation goals.
Administratively, this opportunity was issued as a discretionary cooperative agreement under Funding Opportunity Number NPS ARRANOIIMRO100553. The funding activity aligned with CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, indicating a focus on engaging youth service organizations in conservation-related work. The opportunity anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $299,557. Cost sharing or matching was required, meaning the recipient would need to contribute non-federal resources (cash or in-kind) as part of the overall project support, consistent with the terms of the award.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations holding IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, the notice was explicitly labeled "for informational purposes only" because it functioned as a Notice of Intent to award rather than an open competitive solicitation. The NPS stated its intent to make the award to the Greening Youth Foundation, and noted that the award had been competed in accordance with internal NPS procedures. Key dates show how short the public posting window was: it was posted and created on September 13, 2010, and closed on September 14, 2010, then archived on September 16, 2010.
