Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a discretionary National Park Service funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI-NPS) focused on natural resource and historic preservation work in Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP). The project centers on supporting the Rocky Mountain Conservancy Conservation Corps as it assists with the historic restoration of the RMNP CCC Mess Hall, a structure associated with the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) era. In practical terms, the funding is intended to help carry out hands-on restoration and preservation activities that protect and maintain an important historic facility within the park while also supporting conservation corps-style work.
The listing identifies the funding instrument as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project, such as coordinating technical direction, ensuring compliance with applicable preservation standards, or collaborating closely on project execution. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA number provided is 15.931, which corresponds to National Park Service assistance programs. The opportunity is labeled with the funding opportunity number P16AS00162 and was created and posted on May 12, 2016.
Eligibility is limited to a specific type of applicant: nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education. That eligibility phrasing indicates the program is not broadly open to all nonprofits or to standard 501(c)(3) charities, but instead targets a narrower nonprofit category (with a carve-out related to higher education institutions). The announcement does not provide an application deadline in the usual sense, showing "NOI Only" (Notice of Intent only) for both the original and current closing dates, which signals that the posting was likely informational or intended for a limited process rather than a standard open competition with a typical application package and due date.
Funding is relatively small and targeted: the award ceiling is $34,753, and the expected number of awards is one. That combination strongly suggests a single, project-specific collaboration rather than a broad grant program with multiple recipients. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a one-off cooperative agreement to support a defined restoration effort at RMNP, tied to conservation corps participation and the preservation of a CCC-era historic mess hall.
