Opportunity Summary:

The Trails Preservation National Park Service grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00058) is a discretionary funding program offered by the National Park Service under the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship). The purpose of the opportunity is focused on trails maintenance and construction work in two major national parks: Yellowstone National Park and Glacier National Park. In practical terms, this kind of project typically supports on-the-ground stewardship of trail systems, which can include repairing or rebuilding damaged trail segments, improving trail sustainability, addressing erosion or drainage problems, and completing construction activities needed to keep public-use trails safe and environmentally sound.

Funding under this announcement is offered through a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. A cooperative agreement generally means the National Park Service expects to be substantially involved in the project during performance, such as coordinating technical requirements, aligning work with park priorities, ensuring compliance with park standards, and helping guide implementation in the field. The listing indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility. At the same time, the published funding fields show an estimated total funding amount of 0, with an award ceiling of 0 and an award floor of 0. That usually signals that dollar amounts were not specified in the public listing, were to be determined later, or were handled in a way that did not translate into a posted amount in the summary record.

Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted and created on April 15, 2014, with a very short application window: the original and current closing date is April 17, 2014. The opportunity was archived on April 22, 2014, indicating it is no longer open. The official full announcement and any additional instructions were made available through Grants.gov, referenced by the additional information link provided in the listing.

For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the announcement electronically, the contact listed is Tina Holland, FA Officer at the National Park Service, reachable at 307-344-2082 or by email at tinaholland@nps.gov.
