Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00256
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS) published a discretionary funding notice titled "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD" under Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00256, created on May 29, 2018. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, and the activity area is categorized as education under CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 15.931. The notice lists an anticipated maximum funding amount (award ceiling) of $64,092 and indicates that NPS expects to make one award.
This posting is not an open grant competition and it is not inviting new applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that NPS intends to issue a task agreement under an existing master cooperative agreement that was already established either through a prior competitive process or through a single-source justification. In practical terms, that means the potential recipient has effectively already been identified through the underlying master cooperative agreement mechanism, and this announcement is mainly about transparency and documentation rather than soliciting proposals from the public.
Eligibility is stated as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. However, because the notice is explicitly not a request for applications, this eligibility language should be read as describing the type of organization associated with the planned task agreement rather than signaling that eligible entities can apply for this particular action. The listed closing date field reflects the same intent ("NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD"), reinforcing that there is no application deadline because there is no application process tied to this announcement.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as an administrative notification: NPS is announcing its intention to proceed with a single task agreement (up to $64,092) for an education-related project under an already-established cooperative agreement framework, rather than launching a new, competitive funding round.Apply for P18AS00256
