Opportunity Summary:
The Trails and Brushing Glacier Bay National Preserve opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P12AS10413) is a National Park Service Alaska Region funding notice announcing the agency's intent to make a sole-source award under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. The project is designed to support on-the-ground conservation work in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, with a focus on trail-related maintenance such as brushing and similar field tasks that help maintain environmentally important lands and waters. A central goal is to accomplish this work by engaging young adults in meaningful conservation service, pairing resource stewardship outcomes with workforce development and education.
This funding is planned as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the National Park Service in coordinating, guiding, or partnering on the project rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the relevant CFDA number is 15.931 (Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations). Only one award is expected, and the announcement explicitly states the intent to fund a specific partner on a sole-source basis: the Southeast Alaska Guidance Association/Youth Corps (SAGA). SAGA is described as a cooperator under the Public Lands Corps and is positioned to provide young adult participants with structured education and work opportunities that build appreciation for natural and cultural resources. The program model also supports participants by offering a pathway to help pay for higher education, while generating local benefits for the economy and the environment.
The project narrative emphasizes the practical track record of youth conservation corps programs in restoring and maintaining natural and cultural resources in a cost-effective and efficient way. Beyond the direct trail and vegetation management outcomes, the NPS frames the work as an experiential learning opportunity, where SAGA crew members are expected to connect what they learn in the field to broader life skills and community impact. The announcement highlights that participants will improve lives, land, and communities in and around Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, reflecting the dual mission of conservation service: tangible resource protection plus personal and professional growth for the young adults involved.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $32,949, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $32,949, indicating a fixed intended award amount rather than a range. Cost sharing is required. Under the Public Lands Corps Act, participants must provide a 25 percent match to federal funds, meaning the project partner must contribute allowable non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind, depending on what is permitted) equal to a quarter of the federal amount to meet the matching requirement.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on April 30, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 29, 2012, and an archive date of June 28, 2012. The eligible applicant type is listed as nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (other than institutions of higher education), which aligns with the structure of certain youth corps or affiliated nonprofit entities. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Tina Spengler, Contract Specialist, at (907) 644-3303.
