Opportunity Summary:
The Groundwork Portland Fort Vancouver grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS WASO P12AC12188) is a National Park Service (NPS) award in the Community Development activity category, tied to CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations. It was posted and created on June 27, 2012, with a closing date of July 6, 2012, and later archived on August 5, 2012. The announcement makes clear that the closing date was set because the agency had already issued an intent to award notification for Groundwork Portland, meaning this was not a competitive, open solicitation.
The purpose of the award is to support youth-focused conservation work at or connected to Fort Vancouver, with projects carried out under the oversight and direction of the National Park Service and FOVA (referenced in the notice as a project partner providing direction alongside NPS). The core requirement is for the recipient to recruit, hire, and manage two separate conservation teams. Each team is described as consisting of nine to 15 young adults plus two leaders, with an emphasis on engaging participants who are primarily from minority and/or disadvantaged backgrounds. Beyond recruitment and hiring, the recipient is responsible for day-to-day oversight, supervision, direction of work, and handling any performance or conduct issues that arise, which signals that the award is centered on workforce supervision, youth development, and safe, effective project delivery rather than simply purchasing materials or funding a one-time event.
Financially, the opportunity is small and fixed in size: the estimated total funding is $6,000, and both the award floor and award ceiling are also $6,000, indicating a single award at a set amount (Expected Awards: 1). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The eligible applicant type listed is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), but the eligibility section explicitly states it is not open for solicitation or quotation and that this is an intent to award under Cooperative Agreement H4531110507 to Groundwork Portland. In practical terms, that means the listing functions as a public notice of a directed award rather than an opportunity other organizations can apply for.
For questions or help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Jaime Mijares, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 303-969-2755 or by email at jaimemijares@nps.gov.
