Opportunity Summary:
The FY-2016 "NPS Notice of Intent: Statutory Aid Task Agreement Funding" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00134) is a discretionary National Park Service funding opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI-NPS). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the work is expected to involve substantial federal involvement or close collaboration between the National Park Service and the recipient while carrying out the funded activities. The opportunity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.954.
The core purpose of the award is to support the Foundation's work at Hard Bargain Farm by promoting education and the preservation of history, culture, and the arts connected to Alice and Henry Ferguson. The grant focuses on interpreting and caring for a range of resources tied to the property, including cultural artifacts, archival and related objects, landscapes, and historic structures. The intent is for these resources to be used in ways that benefit a broad audience, including children, adults, local and regional residents, and visitors, reinforcing public understanding and appreciation of the site's cultural and historical significance.
A major programmatic emphasis described in the notice is the Hard Bargain Farm Environmental Center and its outdoor, hands-on learning model. The Foundation uses the site to deliver outdoor-based educational experiences for students spanning pre-kindergarten through high school. These programs are designed not only to teach about the natural environment, but also to build long-term values around awareness and stewardship, with the expectation that students develop lasting responsibility for environmental care and conservation.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity anticipated a single award, with an award ceiling of $195,000. The notice was created and posted on April 27, 2016, and it carried an application closing date of May 7, 2016 (with the original and current closing dates listed the same). Eligibility is listed as "Others," with the implication that applicants must review the additional eligibility language in the full announcement for clarification, but the framing and description indicate the funding is intended to support the specified Foundation and its mission-aligned activities at Hard Bargain Farm.
