Opportunity Summary:
The Mojave Desert Education Program (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00014) is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to award a single cooperative agreement to support education activities connected to NPS conservation, protection, outreach, and education goals. It was posted on December 12, 2014 by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and it is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead of soliciting proposals through an open competition, the NPS is issuing this notice to publicly document its plan to fund a specific partner and project under an existing arrangement.
The planned award is Cooperative Agreement P15AC00076 with the Outside Las Vegas Foundation for the project titled "Mojave Desert Education Program." Because it is a cooperative agreement, the funding mechanism generally implies that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project, such as collaborating on program direction, coordinating educational content, or supporting implementation in ways beyond a typical grant.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, with the activity category listed as education. The associated CFDA listing is 15.954, "National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education," which signals the programmatic purpose and federal assistance framework the award falls under. The announcement indicates there will be one expected award, and the total funding amount is fixed: the estimated total funding is $146,421, with both the award ceiling and award floor also set at $146,421. This shows the NPS is announcing a single, predetermined award amount rather than a range of possible funding levels.
No cost sharing or matching requirement is included, meaning the recipient is not required under this notice to provide matching funds as a condition of the award. While the eligibility field lists nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), that information is largely informational in this context because the notice is not open for applications and the intended recipient is already identified.
The posting and creation dates are December 12, 2014, and the archive date is December 31, 2014. Both the original and current closing dates state "This is not a request for applications," reinforcing that the announcement is meant for transparency about a non-competitive intent to fund rather than for recruiting applicants. For anyone needing access help with the full announcement, the listed contact is Lilette Baltodano, Financial Agreements Officer, at 415-623-2251 or lilettebaltodano@nps.gov. The notice also references Grants.gov as the source for the full posting and related details.
