Opportunity Summary:
The Pyramid Point Trail Rehab opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P14AC00249) is a National Park Service discretionary funding notice of intent (NOI), explicitly labeled as not a request for proposals. The project is set up as a cooperative agreement, meaning the National Park Service expects to be actively involved in the work rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant with minimal federal participation. It falls under the activity areas of education, environment, and natural resources, and it is tied to CFDA 15.931, Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations.
At its core, the grant is designed to reduce deferred maintenance in a national park by putting four youth crews to work on hands-on conservation tasks. The crews will help repair and rehabilitate park infrastructure, specifically focusing on trail repairs and campground rehabilitation. The intent is both practical and educational: the park gets needed maintenance completed, while local young people gain job skills through real field work and also develop familiarity with park resources, outdoor stewardship, and the mission of the National Park Service. The announcement also frames the effort as an economic support tool for the surrounding community by prioritizing the hiring of local youth, keeping wages and related spending closer to the local area.
The joint objectives and project management focus emphasize two parallel outcomes. First, the project aims to reduce the backlog of maintenance issues affecting trails and campgrounds. Second, it aims to train area youth in maintenance techniques while building an appreciation for the outdoors, the national park, and public lands more broadly. In practice, this reads like a workforce development and conservation stewardship project rolled into one, using supervised, structured crew-based work to deliver tangible improvements to visitor facilities and resource access.
Funding is structured as a single award with an estimated total of $105,000, and both the award floor and ceiling are listed as $105,000, suggesting a fixed award amount rather than a range. No cost sharing or match is required, which lowers the barrier for eligible organizations that may not have extra funds to contribute. Only one award is expected, so the opportunity is effectively aimed at selecting one qualifying partner to organize and manage the youth crews and deliver the agreed-upon maintenance and rehabilitation outcomes in coordination with the park.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted and created on March 27, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 3, 2014, and it was archived on May 3, 2014. The additional information is referenced through Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues is Katie Schroeder, Grants Management Officer, reachable by phone at 402-661-1640.
