Opportunity Summary:
Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00248, titled "Institute at the Golden Gate programming and marketing," is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action structured as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.954 (National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education). The total anticipated award amount is $180,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $180,000, meaning the project is presented as a single fixed-size award with one expected recipient.
The purpose of the task agreement is to support the continued launch and ongoing operation of the Institute of the Golden Gate by developing both programming and marketing materials. The work is specifically tied to convening-related activities, including conferences and meetings, and it highlights Cavallo Point Lodge (located in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area) as a key venue, along with other park locations. In practical terms, the funded effort centers on shaping the Institute's event-oriented offerings (what programs and convenings are available, how they are packaged, and how they function) and producing the communications and promotional materials needed to attract and serve target audiences for those convenings.
This announcement is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award rather than an open solicitation. It states that it is not a request for applications; instead, it serves as public notice that NPS intends to fund the project under an existing cooperative management relationship with the GGNPC/GG Institute. As a result, even though an "original closing date" and "current closing date" are listed as August 26, 2014, the listing functions more as a formal posting requirement than a competitive application opportunity. The archive date is September 15, 2014, reflecting that the notice has concluded and is kept for record purposes.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The posting indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award. The activity category is Natural Resources, which aligns with NPS conservation and public engagement work, and the cooperative agreement instrument suggests NPS expected to remain substantially involved in the project’s execution (for example, through coordination, joint planning, review, and alignment with park and institute goals).
For reference and official documentation, the listing points to Grants.gov as the additional information link source. The named contact for access issues is Kristina Bliss, Agreements Specialist, reachable at 805-370-2321 or kristinabliss@nps.gov.
