Opportunity Summary:
The National Public Lands Day grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00048) is a U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS) discretionary funding notice tied to National Public Lands Day (NPLD) 2016. Its purpose is to support National Park Service park units as they prepare for and carry out activities connected to NPLD, with an emphasis on coordinated outreach that highlights the value of public land stewardship. NPLD itself is scheduled for September 24, 2016, and the work described centers on organizing that nationwide day of service and engagement while connecting with both the general public and the large network of public land managers.
The funding instrument for this opportunity is a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency anticipates substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant. The activity category is listed as Environment, and the associated CFDA number is 15.954. The notice indicates an expected single award with an award ceiling of $45,000, suggesting a small, targeted effort focused on coordination, communications, and operational support rather than large-scale capital work.
Eligibility is described as nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education. However, the most important practical detail is that this posting functions as a Notice of Intent and is not open for competition. The notice explicitly states that no applications are being accepted because the task agreement is being made under an existing cooperative agreement (P15AC31002) that was already awarded through a prior competitive process. In other words, while the posting documents the project scope, timing, and funding level, it is not a live solicitation and does not offer a current application window.
Administrative details show the opportunity was created and posted on February 19, 2016, and both the original and current closing date fields reiterate that it is a Notice of Intent only with no applications accepted. Overall, the opportunity reflects a time-bound, coordination-focused award intended to strengthen National Public Lands Day planning and public engagement for the 2016 event.
