Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Youth Projects at Point Reyes National Seashore" (Funding Opportunity Number NOI NPSP11AC80676) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding notice related to natural resources work carried out by a youth service organization. The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates a partnership-style award where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply providing funds with minimal engagement. The listing is associated with CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," signaling that the primary purpose is to support conservation-focused projects performed by youth crews, typically involving hands-on stewardship, resource protection, and related field-based work within a national park unit.
This announcement is specifically a Notice of Intent rather than an open call for proposals. In practical terms, that means it is not a competitive grant opportunity and it is not requesting applications from the public. The NPS indicates that it intends to make a single-source, noncompetitive award to Conservation Corps North Bay. The justification cited is DOI 505 DM 2.12C, a Department of the Interior policy reference that allows certain noncompetitive awards under defined circumstances. The "Eligible Applicants" field reflects this by indicating "Others" and then clarifying in the eligibility notes that only the named organization is intended to receive the award.
Key funding details include an expected number of awards of one and an award ceiling of $100,000, with no cost-sharing or matching requirement. That means the recipient is not required to contribute additional funds as a condition of receiving the federal support, which is common for projects structured to maximize on-the-ground youth employment and conservation outcomes without creating barriers for participation. The posting date and creation date are both August 6, 2011, and the closing date is August 11, 2011, with the opportunity archived on September 10, 2011. Because this is a notice of intent for a single-source award, the short window functions more as a public notice period than an application deadline in the typical sense.
