Opportunity Summary:
The Outreach Education and Interpretation Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 09LAME 00001) is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement focused on supporting public-facing education, outreach, and interpretive programming connected to Lake Mead National Recreation Area in Southern Nevada. The intent is to strengthen how the park and its partners communicate natural and cultural resource information to the public, increase conservation awareness, and expand education efforts that align with regional conservation education priorities. Rather than being a broad, open-ended competition aimed at many applicants, the announcement states that NPS plans to make a single expected award and specifically intends to enter into a cooperative agreement task with the Great Basin Institute/Nevada Conservation Corps to work collaboratively on these activities.
The work supported under this opportunity centers on implementing interpretation and education programs for Lake Mead National Recreation Area and/or carrying out elements of the Southern Nevada Agency Partnership (SNAP) Conservation Education Action Plan. SNAP is described as a consortium of four federal public land agencies operating in Southern Nevada: the National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management. In practical terms, this means the funded effort is meant to support coordinated, multi-agency conservation education and outreach goals for the region, with Lake Mead National Recreation Area as a primary focal point and SNAP providing a broader framework for shared messaging, education strategies, and collaborative programming.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the project compared to a standard grant. The opportunity is categorized under "Other" for both the opportunity category and the funding activity category, with the agency clarifying that the purpose is "Outreach education and interpretation program implementation." The assistance listing is tied to CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) number 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations, signaling an emphasis consistent with youth conservation corps-style involvement or youth-oriented conservation activity structures, even though the public description highlights interpretation and education program delivery.
Financially, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $134,080 for the single anticipated award. No award ceiling or floor is specified (both are listed as 0), which typically means the funding level is governed by the stated total estimate and the terms of the agreement rather than formal minimum/maximum bounds. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to provide non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, the narrative makes clear that the NPS intended recipient for this particular cooperative agreement task is the Great Basin Institute/Nevada Conservation Corps. Key dates indicate the opportunity was posted and created on March 5, 2009, with an original and current closing date of March 10, 2009, and an archive date of March 11, 2009, reflecting a short public posting window consistent with an intended-award announcement.
