Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior funding action titled "Notice of Intent to Award To Facilitate Youth Engagement in NPS and Supporting the Chesapeake Youth Corps" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS 15 NERO 0028). It is a public announcement meant to document NPS intent to make an award, and it is explicitly not a request for applications. In other words, the government is not soliciting proposals from the public and there is no competitive application process tied to this posting. Instead, the purpose is transparency: NPS is letting the public know it plans to fund a specific set of project activities through an existing agreement mechanism, without full and open competition.
The planned funding will be issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work (as opposed to a grant where the recipient typically has more independence). The notice references Task Agreement P15AC00457 under Cooperative Agreement P12AC30653 as the legal/administrative vehicle for the work. The program is associated with CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which signals that the project focus is youth-driven conservation, stewardship, and related engagement activities connected to national park resources and community conservation priorities.
The award is structured as a single expected award for a total of $45,000, with the award ceiling and floor both listed as $45,000, meaning the amount is fixed rather than a range. A cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated as "Yes," so the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or in-kind support) consistent with the terms of the cooperative agreement and task agreement, even though the specific matching ratio or allowable forms of match are not provided in the brief summary text.
Eligibility is effectively limited because this is a single-source action. The notice states that the intended recipient is the Parks and People Foundation, identified as a nonprofit entity. Because it is not an open competition, other organizations are not being invited to apply through Grants.gov for this opportunity, and the posting serves only as an announcement of NPS intent to proceed with that partner for the described youth engagement and Chesapeake Youth Corps support activities.
Timing details in the listing reflect the administrative posting window rather than an application deadline. The notice was posted April 10, 2015, shows an original and current closing date of April 19, 2015, and an archive date of April 20, 2015. These dates typically correspond to how long the notice remains visible and active in the system, not to a period during which proposals are accepted, since proposals are not being requested.
For those seeking the official, complete write-up, the notice instructs readers to use the "Related Documents" link in the full Grants.gov posting to access the full announcement text. It also provides a point of contact for access issues: Jennifer Fleming, NPS NER Agreements Officer, at 215-597-6476.
