Opportunity Summary:
The Trails Forever Initiative - Lands End Phase II is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding opportunity designed to support community-focused improvements to major trail systems, trailheads, and visitor facilities, along with establishing long-term volunteer stewardship to help sustain those improvements. The project centers on a collaborative partnership between the NPS and the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, with an emphasis on engaging the public and mobilizing volunteer participation as part of implementing and maintaining trail and visitor-use upgrades.
This opportunity was posted by the National Park Service under Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI J8142100507, with a funding instrument type of Cooperative Agreement and an activity category listed as Education. The program anticipated a single award, reflecting that this was intended as a targeted partnership rather than a broadly competed grant. The estimated total funding amount was $1,500,000, which also served as the award ceiling, while the award floor was listed as $0. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for the recipient.
Eligibility was limited in practice because the notice specifies the action would be a single-source award to the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy. While the eligible applicant category is noted as "nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education," the eligibility information clarifies that the award was intended for the Conservancy specifically, meaning other organizations would not realistically be competitive for this particular action.
Key dates indicate the announcement moved quickly. The posted and creation dates were August 11, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 13, 2010, and an archive date of September 12, 2010. This short window is consistent with single-source or pre-identified partner actions where the announcement functions more as a formal notice than an open solicitation.
For applicant or public inquiries, the listed point of contact was Carol Axley, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 415-561-4754 or by email at carolaxley@nps.gov, with a note to contact her if there were difficulties accessing the full announcement electronically.
