Opportunity Summary:
The Groundwork Richmond VA Project and Program Development opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00218) is a U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS) discretionary funding action structured as a cooperative agreement under the Education activity category (CFDA 15.921). Its purpose is to support efforts in Richmond, Virginia that help move Brownfields and other derelict or underused sites toward productive reuse. The intended outcomes emphasize community-benefiting redevelopment, including conservation and environmental improvement, expanded recreation opportunities, local economic development, and other public benefits that can come from turning neglected properties into assets.
This listing is a Notice of Intent to Award rather than an open competition. Both the original and current closing dates state that no applications will be accepted, which means the agency had already identified the recipient and planned to issue the award without soliciting proposals from the public. The opportunity was created and posted on June 6, 2016, and it anticipated a single award with an expected total award amount of up to $1 (Award Ceiling: $1; Expected Awards: 1), consistent with certain administrative or placeholder postings sometimes used for planned cooperative agreements.
Eligibility, as shown in the announcement, is limited to nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (other than institutions of higher education). In practical terms, while the scope is broadly about Brownfields reuse and community revitalization, the posting itself does not invite submissions and is primarily informational, documenting that DOI-NPS intended to make one cooperative agreement award aligned with project and program development activities supporting redevelopment and community improvements in the Groundwork Richmond context.
