Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Improve Accessibility for Park Audiovisual Programs" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOI J8147100132) is a discretionary funding announcement from the National Park Service (NPS) focused on accessibility improvements for visitors with visual impairments at Alcatraz Island. The project is framed as an education-related effort and centers on making the visitor experience more navigable and inclusive by developing and installing tactile markers. These tactile markers are intended to support visually impaired visitors in orienting themselves and engaging more fully with the site and its interpretive or audiovisual programming.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS anticipates active involvement and collaboration with the recipient rather than simply issuing funds with minimal oversight. The announcement specifies that the NPS will collaborate with the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy on the design and installation work for the tactile markers. In practice, this kind of arrangement typically reflects a shared role in planning, coordination, and implementation to ensure the deliverables meet accessibility goals and align with park standards and visitor experience objectives.
Funding for the project is relatively small and tightly defined. The estimated total funding is $10,000, with an award ceiling of $10,000 and no award floor listed (effectively allowing up to the full amount but not guaranteeing a minimum beyond what is awarded). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The announcement anticipates a single award.
Eligibility is narrow and, according to the notice, the action is intended as a single-source award to the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy. Although the eligible applicant category is listed as nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), the eligibility information clarifies that this particular action is being directed to that specific partner organization rather than opened broadly for competition among multiple applicants.
Key dates show that this was a short-window announcement posted on August 19, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 22, 2010, and an archive date of September 21, 2010. The timing suggests the award was planned and time-sensitive, consistent with a single-source cooperative agreement supporting a defined accessibility improvement project already aligned with an existing park partner.
