Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Public Transit Outreach and Education for Visitor Enjoyment and Access through Mariposa County." This notice is meant to inform the public that NPS planned to fund specific activities through a cooperative agreement, rather than inviting organizations to compete for the funding through a normal open application process. In other words, it is not a request for applications; it is a transparency notice explaining that NPS intended to move forward with a non-competitive award.
The award was to be made under Cooperative Agreement number P12AC30508 with the Yosemite/Mariposa Tourism Bureau. The focus of the project, as reflected in the title and the listed activity category, centers on education and outreach related to public transit, with the broader goal of improving visitor enjoyment and access in and through Mariposa County, a key gateway area for Yosemite National Park. The underlying public purpose is consistent with NPS outreach and education efforts, encouraging visitors to understand and use transit options that can improve access, reduce congestion, and support a better overall visitor experience in a high-demand recreation corridor.
This opportunity was categorized as discretionary funding and used a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, signaling that NPS anticipated having substantial involvement in the project, such as coordinating, collaborating, or providing direction as the outreach and education activities were carried out. The related CFDA listing was 15.954, "National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education," which aligns with public-facing communication, stewardship messaging, and visitor-use management objectives commonly associated with NPS partnership projects.
Financially, the notice indicated a single expected award with a total estimated funding amount of $31,000. The award ceiling and floor were both listed as $31,000, meaning the intended award amount was fixed at that level. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, so the recipient was not expected to contribute a defined non-federal match as a condition of the award.
The public notice was posted on June 22, 2012, created the same day, and showed an original and current closing date of June 23, 2012. The short window reflects the fact that the announcement was not competitive and functioned primarily as a formal notice rather than an application period. The item was archived on July 23, 2012. While the eligibility field references certain nonprofit entities that do not have 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), the practical takeaway here is that NPS had already identified the Yosemite/Mariposa Tourism Bureau as the intended partner for this cooperative agreement.
For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Lilette Baltodano, Financial Agreements Officer, at (415) 623-2251. The funding opportunity number associated with the notice was NPS PWRNOIP12AC30508.
