Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service offered a Recovery Act-funded grant opportunity titled "RECOVERY ACT Repair Grazing Management Fences, Grand Canyon Parashant National Monument, National Park Service" under Funding Opportunity Number NPS ARRAPARA100012. This was a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement, meaning the project would be carried out with substantial involvement from the National Park Service rather than as a hands-off grant. The activity was tied to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act), and it was categorized under CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," which generally emphasizes conservation work performed through eligible nonprofit service groups.

The core purpose of the project was straightforward and site-specific: to build and repair approximately five miles of grazing management fencing within Grand Canyon Parashant National Monument. The fencing work was intended to protect both natural resources and cultural resources by preventing unauthorized livestock grazing and limiting damage caused by off-road vehicle use. In practical terms, the project focus was on on-the-ground conservation and resource protection through infrastructure improvements, with the fence serving as a physical management tool to reduce impacts to sensitive areas.

Funding details were clearly defined and fixed. The estimated total funding was $44,400, and both the award ceiling and award floor were also set at $44,400, indicating a single award at a single dollar amount rather than a range. The opportunity anticipated one award in total. Cost sharing or matching was required, so the selected applicant would need to contribute an eligible match according to the terms of the award, rather than relying entirely on federal funds.

Eligibility was limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, specifically excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted on October 27, 2009, created the same day, and closed on November 6, 2009, with no change between the original and current closing dates. The archive date was December 6, 2009, indicating it was no longer active after that time. Additional details were available through Grants.gov, and applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically were directed to contact Tekla Vines, Contract Specialist, at 707-951-4872 or teklavines@nps.gov.
