Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00338
The funding opportunity titled "N. Fork Quinault River High School Trail Crew at Olympic National Park" (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00338) is a discretionary National Park Service notice stating the agency's intent to make an award, rather than an open call for proposals. In other words, it is not a request for applications and is being posted primarily to provide public transparency that the National Park Service plans to award financial assistance for specific project activities outlined in its supporting documentation (referred to as a Notice of Intent).
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service is the issuing agency, and it plans to use a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement generally indicates that the federal agency expects to be actively involved in the project during implementation, such as coordinating work, providing technical direction, or collaborating on project decisions, rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The program is categorized under Employment, Labor and Training, which aligns with the title's focus on a high school trail crew, suggesting the project is intended to support youth work experiences, job skills development, and hands-on conservation or maintenance activities connected to trail work in Olympic National Park, specifically in the North Fork Quinault River area.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The notice indicates a single expected award, with an award ceiling of $35,511, implying the project is relatively small in scale and likely targeted to a specific partner organization already identified through prior coordination. The opportunity was created on August 1, 2018, with an original closing date of August 11, 2018, which in this context functions more as a public notice period rather than a deadline for competing applications, since the announcement explicitly states it is not requesting applications. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.931, which corresponds to National Park Service financial assistance programs.
Overall, this posting serves as a formal public notice that the National Park Service intends to fund a specific cooperative project involving a high school trail crew working in Olympic National Park, with the dual purpose of supporting trail-related park work and providing training and employment-related experience for participants, carried out in partnership with an eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.Apply for P18AS00338
