Opportunity Summary:
The Youth Engagement, Education, and Employment Programs grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00375) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expects to be substantially involved with the recipient during the period of performance rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The activity focus sits at the intersection of education, the environment, and natural resources, and it is tied to CFDA 15.676, a catalog listing used to track and describe federal assistance programs.
This particular announcement is notable because it is a single-source award issued without competition. In practical terms, that means the Fish and Wildlife Service planned to fund one specific organization rather than solicit and evaluate proposals from multiple applicants. The named recipient is the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF), and the purpose of the award is to provide funding for Hands on the Land (HOL) projects. HOL is described here as the direct target of the funding, implying that the money would support on-the-ground youth-focused activities that connect learning with public lands or natural resource settings, consistent with the opportunity title emphasizing youth engagement, education, and employment pathways.
The posted award ceiling is $65,000, indicating the maximum anticipated federal funding amount under this announcement. The listing shows "ExpectedAwards: 0," which often appears in postings that are administrative in nature or are not forecasting multiple awards through an open competition; it can also reflect that the announcement is primarily a formal notice of intent to award rather than a standard competitive funding round. The eligible applicants field is broadly labeled as "Others," but the text of the opportunity makes clear the intended recipient is NEEF, reinforcing that this is not an open call for general applicants.
Timing details in the source data indicate the opportunity was created on July 28, 2016, with an original closing date of August 5, 2016. Short windows like this are common for noncompetitive, single-source notices because the agency is not managing a full competitive process and instead is meeting public posting requirements associated with transparency and federal assistance documentation.
Finally, the legal authority cited for issuing the award is the Powers and Duties of the Secretary of the Interior (16 USC 460, including Section 460 l-1(d) and (f)). This statutory reference is included to document the Interior Department's authority to support the type of educational and engagement activities described, particularly those connected to stewardship, conservation education, and programming that ties youth learning and workforce exposure to natural resources and public lands.
