Opportunity Summary:
The Park Poor Urban and Diverse Youth Engagement (PPUDYE) Project is a National Park Service (NPS) funding notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior to publicly announce the agency's intent to make an award for a specific set of education-focused project activities. This notice is not a request for applications and is not a competitive grant opportunity; instead, it serves as formal public notice that NPS plans to fund work with a named partner without full and open competition. The opportunity is listed on Grants.gov under Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00385 and was posted on September 23, 2014, with an archive date of September 29, 2014.
The award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply providing pass-through funding. The intended recipient is Outward Bound Adventures through Task Agreement P14AC01783 under an existing Cooperative Agreement (H8542100039). Although the eligibility field on the listing indicates nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the practical takeaway is that the award was already targeted to a specific organization and was not open for other applicants to pursue.
Programmatically, the project sits in the Education activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations. Based on the project title, the effort is oriented toward engaging youth who are often underrepresented in traditional park programming, specifically youth from low-income backgrounds ("park poor"), urban communities, and diverse populations. The underlying purpose is consistent with NPS youth engagement goals: expanding access to national parks, building connections between young people and public lands, and fostering conservation awareness and stewardship through structured experiences and learning activities.
Financially, the listing shows an estimated total funding amount of $38,768, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are listed as $0, which commonly appears in notices of intent to award or non-competitive postings where standard competitive parameters do not apply. The posting also states "Expected Awards: 1," reinforcing that this is intended as a single award to the identified partner rather than multiple grants.
Anyone needing help obtaining or accessing the full announcement is directed to contact the NPS financial agreements officer listed in the notice: Lilette Baltodano at 415-623-2251 or lilettebaltodano@nps.gov. The Grants.gov link provided in the notice is an additional reference point for the source announcement and related details.
