Opportunity Summary:
This grant notice is a public announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), specifically Everglades National Park, stating the agency's intent to make a single, specific award for a project called the Work Readiness Program. It is important to understand that this is not a competitive funding opportunity and not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a transparency notice letting the public know that NPS plans to provide funding to a named partner without "full and open competition" under an existing cooperative agreement.
The planned funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared to a standard grant. The referenced agreement is Cooperative Agreement P15AC00020, and the intended recipient is The Greening Youth Foundation (GYF). The overall activity category is Natural Resources, and the relevant CFDA number listed is 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, which aligns with youth-oriented conservation and workforce development efforts.
The opportunity is identified on Grants.gov under Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00330 and the title NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD - Work Readiness Program. The notice was posted and created on August 20, 2015. The closing date shown is August 30, 2015, with an archive date of August 31, 2015. In this context, the "closing date" does not indicate a deadline for submitting proposals, since applications are not being solicited; it is more of an administrative date tied to posting the public notice.
The estimated total funding amount for the project is $27,008. The listing shows an award ceiling and award floor of $0, which typically reflects how the notice was entered into the system rather than indicating the project has no funding; the narrative and estimated total funding figure are the meaningful indicators of the anticipated award amount. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement noted, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide a required non-federal match as a condition of the award.
The listing includes "Eligible Applicants: For profit organizations other than small businesses," but given that this is a notice of intent to fund a specific partner under a specific cooperative agreement, the eligibility field is not practically relevant for outside parties. The key point is that NPS is signaling its intention to fund GYF for work readiness programming connected to Everglades National Park, rather than opening the activity up for broader competition.
For anyone seeking additional documentation, the notice points readers to Grants.gov for the full announcement details. The designated contact is Sandra Newton, Awarding Officer, reachable at 305-242-7028 or SandraNewton@nps.gov, with the note that she can help if someone has trouble accessing the announcement electronically.
