Opportunity Summary:
The Youth Engagement, Education, and Employment opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00380) is a Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service notice describing an intended, single-source financial assistance award. It falls under the discretionary funding category and would be issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project during the performance period rather than simply providing funds with minimal oversight. The activity focus is listed under Environment and Natural Resources, and it is associated with CFDA 15.676, indicating it aligns with Fish and Wildlife Service assistance programming.
This announcement is not a competitive funding opportunity and is provided strictly for public notification. The agency states that no applications are being accepted and that the original closing date is effectively not applicable because the notice is informational only. In other words, the public is being informed that the government plans to make a targeted award rather than inviting proposals from multiple applicants.
The intended recipient named in the notice is Groundwork Hudson Valley, and the award is described as a one-year financial assistance agreement. Although the eligibility field broadly references nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the single-source nature means the agency is not seeking other eligible organizations for this specific award. The listed award ceiling is $200,000. The notice also lists expected awards as 0, which is consistent with announcements that are not open for applications and are not structured as a typical competitive grant cycle; it is essentially a posting to document an intended or planned award action rather than to solicit applicants.
Overall, this posting functions as a transparency notice: it signals the Fish and Wildlife Service intent to support a youth-focused project tied to engagement, education, and employment within an environmental or natural resources context, via a cooperative agreement to Groundwork Hudson Valley for up to $200,000 over one year, without opening the action for public competition.
