Opportunity Summary:
The Youth Internships grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00011) is a public notice issued by the National Park Service (NPS) to announce its intent to fund a specific project without competition. In other words, it is not an open call for applications and it is not seeking proposals from the general public. The announcement mainly serves transparency purposes by documenting that NPS plans to make an award for the described activities through a non-competitive process.
This opportunity falls under the discretionary funding category and will be issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically means NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s implementation rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The program area is listed under the education funding activity category, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.931, titled "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations." The core concept indicated by the title and CFDA alignment is support for youth-focused internship or service experiences connected to conservation and related educational or workforce development outcomes.
The announcement anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $232,565. The listed award ceiling is also $232,565, while the award floor is $32,564, indicating the award amount could fall within that range, though the total funding estimate suggests the intended project amount is at or near the ceiling. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide matching funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is effectively limited to a named organization: Kupu, LLC, identified in the notice as a nonprofit organization. While the "Eligible Applicants" field is broadly shown as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the eligibility information clarifies that the intended recipient is Kupu, LLC. Because the award is non-competitive, other organizations are not being invited to apply through this notice.
Key dates reflect that the opportunity was posted on March 15, 2013 (created March 14, 2013) and archived on March 30, 2013. The closing date fields repeat the same message emphasizing that there is no application process because this is only a notice of intent to fund without competition.
For further details, the notice points to Grants.gov for the full announcement, and provides a point of contact for access issues: Joelle Mascarenas (phone 808-541-2693 x741, email JoelleMascarenas@nps.gov).
