Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a formal Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Paterson Great Falls NHP FY 2015 Great Falls Youth Corps" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 15 NERO 0061). This notice is strictly a public disclosure of the agency's plan to make an award and is not a competitive grant solicitation. In other words, the announcement is not asking organizations to apply, and it does not open a competition for funding. Instead, it documents NPS intent to fund specific project activities through a single-source cooperative agreement.
The planned award is intended for one recipient: the New Jersey Community Development Corporation (NJCDC), identified in the notice as a nonprofit entity. The notice explains that the project will be funded "without full and open competition," meaning NPS is proceeding with a direct award to NJCDC rather than running an open application process. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and will use a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal participation.
The funding aligns with CFDA number 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which signals the project focus on youth-oriented conservation or related public-benefit work. While the announcement itself does not provide detailed workplan language in the excerpt provided, the title strongly suggests the project centers on a youth corps program connected to Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park, likely involving work experiences, stewardship activities, and community engagement tied to park resources and conservation goals.
Financially, the notice lists an estimated total funding amount of $51,000, with both the award ceiling and award floor also set at $51,000, indicating a single award at a fixed amount. The notice also states that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind support) toward the total project cost as part of the agreement terms.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on June 17, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 26, 2015, and an archive date of June 27, 2015. Since this is not a request for applications, those dates function more as an administrative window for public notice rather than an application deadline for prospective applicants.

If there are issues accessing the announcement electronically, the notice provides a direct contact: Jennifer Fleming, NPS Northeast Region Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
