Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "RECOVERY ACT (ARRA) National Park Service, Intermountain Region, Green Renewable Energy Efficient Network," was a discretionary grant action issued by the National Park Service (NPS) under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). It was set up as a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS expected to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The activity focus was in the energy category, with an emphasis on green and renewable energy, energy efficiency, and conservation-oriented work carried out through a youth conservation corps model in the NPS Intermountain Region.
The purpose of the award was to facilitate a pilot "Green Renewable Energy Efficiency Network" for the Intermountain Region. In practical terms, the opportunity was designed to create or support a coordinated effort where youth participants, organized through a conservation corps structure, would contribute to projects that align park operations with renewable energy and energy efficiency goals. Because it was framed as a pilot, the project was intended to test and demonstrate approaches, build capacity, and develop a model that could potentially be expanded or replicated across additional parks or regions if successful.
The announcement was issued as a Notice of Intent to award, identifying the Greening Youth Foundation as the intended recipient. While the listing describes the award as having been competed in accordance with internal NPS procedures, the eligibility section signals that this specific notice was meant to communicate the agency's intent to fund that organization for this particular pilot effort. The program is tied to CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which reflects the underlying theme of engaging youth service organizations in hands-on conservation and stewardship work.
Financially, the opportunity indicated an estimated total funding amount of $116,320. The posted award ceiling and floor were both listed as $0, which typically indicates that the announcement did not use standard minimum and maximum award constraints in the public listing, rather than implying no funding would be provided. A cost sharing or matching requirement was included, meaning the recipient was expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or in-kind support) toward the project as part of the agreement terms.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted on February 24, 2010, with an original closing date of March 5, 2010, later extended to a current closing date of March 15, 2010. The archive date was March 20, 2010. Only one award was expected. For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the NPS provided a point of contact: Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist, at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 505-988-6122.
