Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Partner to Teach Recreation Skills to Underserved Youth and their Families, Santa Monica Mountains Recreation Area" is a discretionary National Park Service (NPS) notice posted by the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is specifically a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is meant to publicly announce that the NPS plans to fund a particular project with a specific partner. It is not a competitive solicitation and it is not asking organizations to apply. In other words, the agency is publishing this listing to document its intent to make an award without full and open competition.
The project will be carried out through a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the NPS expects to be actively involved in the project rather than simply providing a one-time grant with minimal agency participation. The award is tied to Task Agreement number P12AC15007 under an existing Cooperative Agreement (H8542100039) with Outward Bound Adventures, Inc. The named project focuses on partnering to teach recreation skills to underserved youth and their families in and around the Santa Monica Mountains Recreation Area. While the brief notice does not spell out a detailed workplan, the title and activity category make the intent clear: the effort is centered on education and natural resource-related recreation, helping populations who may face barriers to access gain skills and confidence to participate in outdoor activities connected to a national recreation area.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity is tightly defined. The NPS anticipates making a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $25,577. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $25,577, which signals that the funding amount is fixed rather than a range and reinforces that the award is already planned for a particular recipient and scope of work. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to contribute a mandatory non-federal match as a condition of the award.
In terms of classification, the opportunity falls under CFDA number 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," and the funding activity category is listed as Education and Natural Resources. Eligible applicants are described generally as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but because this is not an open call for applications, that eligibility statement is more about program eligibility norms than an invitation to compete for the funds. The posting date and creation date are both July 30, 2013, and the archive date is August 2, 2013. Both the original and current closing dates explicitly state that this is not a request for applications, which is a clear indicator that there is no application window or submission process for the public.
For anyone trying to locate the official announcement or supporting documentation, the notice points to Grants.gov and provides a contact for access issues: Lilette Baltodano, Financial Agreements Officer, at 415-623-2251 or lilettebaltodano@nps.gov. The Funding Opportunity Number is P13AS00160, which is the primary identifier to use when searching federal grant databases or referencing the notice in correspondence.
