Opportunity Summary:
Healthy Parks, Healthy People (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00202) is a National Park Service funding action focused on improving community health by expanding access to parks and park-based recreation in the greater Los Angeles area. The project objective is to implement a Healthy Parks, Healthy People program that connects local communities to outdoor spaces through organized recreational opportunities and events. Rather than funding park infrastructure, the emphasis is on programming: supporting activities delivered through local partners who will conduct events and recreation offerings across greater Los Angeles to encourage people to use parks more often and benefit from the physical and mental health advantages of time outdoors.
This opportunity was issued as a discretionary cooperative agreement in the health activity category under CFDA 15.954 (National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education). The announcement is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning it was not open for competition and was not a request for applications. Instead, it served as public notice that the National Park Service intended to fund a specific project under an existing cooperative agreement with SMMF. Even though the eligibility category listed is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the notice format indicates that new applicants were not being solicited for this particular award.
In terms of funding, the estimated total amount available was $100,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and an award floor of $27,100. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means the recipient was not expected to provide a required non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds. The notice was posted on July 9, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 23, 2015, and it was archived on August 8, 2015, reflecting its status as a time-bound public notification rather than an open grant competition.
For access to the full announcement details, the listing referenced Grants.gov as the source, and the National Park Service point of contact provided for assistance was Paula Owens, Agreements Management Specialist (805-370-2328, PaulaOwens@nps.gov).
