Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior funding action titled "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD Youth Projects: Provide for Volunteer and Special Event Program Support at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park (NHP) and Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site (NHS)." The key point is that it is not a competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it serves as a public notice that NPS intends to make an award to support specific project activities without full and open competition. In other words, the agency is announcing an intended, directed award rather than inviting new proposals from the general public.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which typically means NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds (for example, coordinating activities, setting requirements, or collaborating on implementation). The funded work is focused on youth projects that provide support for volunteer programming and special event programming at two specific NPS units: Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller NHP and Saint-Gaudens NHS. While the notice does not provide programmatic details in the text shown, the title indicates the activities are intended to help plan, staff, or otherwise support volunteer engagement and the execution of special events at these parks, likely including coordination, logistics, and public-facing assistance tied to park operations and visitor services.
The administrative details show the funding opportunity number as NPS 16 NERO 0086, with a creation date of June 23, 2016, and an original closing date of July 3, 2016. The award ceiling is $31,412, and NPS expects to make one award total, which reinforces that this is a single, predetermined award rather than a broad competition. The listing references CFDA number 15.931 (a catalog identifier for the relevant federal assistance program area). Eligibility is described generally as "Others," with a note to consult the additional eligibility information in the full announcement materials, but the overall structure makes clear that this notice is mainly informational and not meant to generate applications.
For anyone trying to pursue the funding, the practical takeaway is that this posting is not asking for submissions and does not function like a normal open grant. The notice directs readers to the "Related Documents" section for complete details of the intent-to-award and points users to Grants.gov support resources for navigation or general grants guidance, but the substance of the announcement is that NPS plans to fund the described volunteer and special event support activities at the named sites through a noncompetitive cooperative agreement, up to the stated amount, with a single recipient.
