Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service - Trail Maintenance Gunnison Point YCC 2016 funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00200) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS). It is designed to support natural resource-related work, specifically focused on trail maintenance activities at Gunnison Point as part of a Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) effort during the 2016 period. The listing provides only a brief description, but the title and activity category indicate the project is intended to maintain or improve trail conditions, which typically includes work like clearing and repairing tread, improving drainage, addressing erosion, and completing other routine or preventive maintenance tasks that help protect park resources while keeping trails safe and accessible for visitors.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. That generally means the National Park Service expects to be substantially involved in the project beyond simply issuing funds, often through collaboration on planning, technical guidance, compliance requirements, project oversight, coordination with park staff, and verification that the work meets NPS standards for resource protection and visitor safety. The opportunity is listed under CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 15.931, which is associated with NPS financial assistance programs.
Eligibility for this opportunity is limited to nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education. In other words, it targets certain nonprofit organizations that may be formally organized but are not recognized by the IRS as 501(c)(3) charitable entities, with an exception carved out so that institutions of higher education are not excluded by that wording. The posting indicates the agency expected to make a single award, with an anticipated maximum (award ceiling) of $44,100, suggesting a small, project-specific agreement intended to fund a defined scope of trail maintenance work rather than a large, multi-site program.
The posting date and creation date are both June 1, 2016, and the closing date fields are shown as "NOI" (typically meaning Notice of Intent or that the deadline is tied to a notice-based process rather than a standard open submission deadline). That usually implies the opportunity may have been part of a more limited or pre-coordinated solicitation process, such as an arrangement with an identified partner or a requirement for an initial notice step before a full application would be accepted. Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a targeted National Park Service cooperative agreement to carry out a specific, hands-on trail maintenance project at Gunnison Point under the Youth Conservation Corps framework, funded up to $44,100 with one expected recipient.
