Opportunity Information: Apply for NPSNOIGLCA1800945
This grant opportunity, titled "Creating Jobs & Outdoor Recreation Opportunities for Native American Youth" (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIGLCA1800945), is a discretionary funding action from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service. It is being carried out through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the National Park Service expects to remain actively involved in the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The program is categorized under Employment, Labor and Training and is associated with CFDA number 15.931.
The announcement is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not an open competition and not a request for applications. In other words, outside organizations are not being invited to apply. Instead, the National Park Service is stating its intention to direct this funding to a specific organization: Conservation Legacy. The award will be made through a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement that had already been awarded previously (P15AC00024). This kind of structure is commonly used when an agency has an established partnership vehicle in place and is issuing a new, project-specific work assignment under that umbrella agreement.
In terms of funding details, the listed award ceiling is $37,760, and the opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The posting was created on July 17, 2018, with an original closing date of July 27, 2018. In this context, that closing date functions more like an administrative posting window rather than a deadline for applicants, since the notice does not solicit proposals.
Although the opportunity includes an "Eligible Applicants" field indicating nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the intent-to-award language clarifies that the actual recipient has already been identified. The core purpose, reflected in the title, is to support job creation and outdoor recreation-related opportunities specifically for Native American youth, presumably through structured, work-based or training-oriented programming connected to conservation, public lands, or recreation projects that align with National Park Service goals.Apply for NPSNOIGLCA1800945
