Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service, within the Department of the Interior, announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Interpretive Programming for 50th Commemoration of Selma to Montgomery March" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00543). The purpose of the project is to support National Park Service staff in delivering administrative and interpretive programming connected to the 50th anniversary commemoration of the historic Selma to Montgomery March, with a particular emphasis on engaging youth in meaningful support roles before, during, and after the anniversary events. In practical terms, the work centers on helping the NPS plan and carry out public-facing educational and interpretive activities tied to the commemoration, while also assisting with behind-the-scenes administrative needs that make those events run smoothly.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates an active partnership between the federal agency and the recipient rather than a hands-off grant. The funding activity category is education, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.931. The opportunity is limited in scope: the expected number of awards is one, and the listed award ceiling is $196,340. Eligibility is restricted to nonprofit organizations that hold 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education, meaning the intended partner is a qualified nonprofit capable of coordinating youth participation and supporting NPS programming needs.
This announcement is specifically labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award rather than a standard competitive solicitation. That means it is not a request for applications and does not operate like an open call where multiple organizations submit proposals for consideration. Instead, it serves as public notice that the National Park Service intends to fund a particular federal financial assistance project under this opportunity. The notice was created on August 23, 2016, and the "closing date" language reinforces that there is no application window because the announcement is informational rather than competitive.
