Opportunity Summary:

This grant notice is a Notice of Intent to Award from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), specifically connected to Christiansted National Historic Site in Christiansted, U.S. Virgin Islands. It is not a competitive funding announcement and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as public notice that the NPS plans to make a single cooperative agreement award without full and open competition for a project titled "Connections Through Conversations and Culture - Conference Support."

The planned award is intended to support education-related activities connected to a conference effort, with the project partner identified as The Earthangle. The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00107 and falls under CFDA 15.954 (National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education). Because this is a cooperative agreement, it generally indicates an active partnership structure where NPS expects to be substantially involved in carrying out the project activities, rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back as in some grant models.

The funding amount listed is an estimated total of $13,000, and the notice anticipates one award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated. Although the listing includes an "Eligible Applicants" field noting nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the practical takeaway is that this particular posting is not open for new applicants because the NPS is announcing its intent to fund a specific partner (The Earthangle) through a non-competitive process.

Key dates show the notice was posted and created on April 22, 2015, with an original and current closing date of April 23, 2015, and an archive date of April 25, 2015. The short window reflects that the purpose of the posting is disclosure and documentation of the intended award rather than soliciting proposals.

For anyone needing the full announcement or having trouble accessing it online, the listed point of contact is Sandra Newton, Financial Assistance Officer, at 305-242-7028 or SandraNewton@nps.gov. An additional information link is provided through Grants.gov (http://grants.gov), where the official posting and any associated documents would be accessible.
