Opportunity Summary:
The Rehabilitate Kennesaw Mountain Road/Trail Crew opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00078) is a U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS) discretionary funding notice tied to the Youth Engagement and Development Program. The purpose of the project is to engage young people in hands-on conservation work while giving them structured education and job-style training focused on sustainable trail management and trail rehabilitation. The work is based at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, with the goal of improving park trails and related resources while building practical skills and conservation knowledge among participating youth.
This funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which usually means the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as collaborating on planning, coordinating activities, and overseeing aspects of implementation rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The funding activity category is listed as Education, reflecting that the award is meant to support learning and workforce development outcomes as much as it supports on-the-ground trail work. The relevant CFDA number is 15.931.
The notice indicates an expected single award with an award ceiling of $32,894. It was created and posted on March 22, 2016. Importantly, both the original and current closing dates state that this is a notice of intent for a restricted award and is not a request for applications. In practical terms, that means it is not an open, competitive solicitation; it is a formal public notice that the agency plans to make a specific award through a restricted process, so outside organizations generally would not submit proposals in response to this posting.
Eligibility is listed as including nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) and other eligible entities as described in the opportunity’s additional eligibility information. Overall, the opportunity is centered on pairing resource stewardship outcomes at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park with youth development outcomes, emphasizing conservation training, sustainable trail practices, and rehabilitation work carried out by a youth trail crew.
