Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00472
The grant listing titled "Northwest Youth Corps Trail Support and Maintenance at Mount Rainier National Park" (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00472) is essentially an administrative notice rather than a competitive grant solicitation. Even though it appears in the format of a typical federal funding announcement, the National Park Service (NPS), within the Department of the Interior, explicitly states that it is not a funding opportunity and that no application package should be submitted. In practical terms, this means the agency is announcing its intent to make an award to a specific organization without opening the project up for competition.
The instrument identified for the award is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates a relationship where the federal agency expects to be substantially involved in the project activities (for example, providing technical direction, coordination, or on-the-ground collaboration) rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The activity category is listed as Employment, Labor and Training, which aligns with the role youth corps programs typically play in providing paid work experience, job training, and development of practical conservation and stewardship skills. The project focus, as the title suggests, is trail support and maintenance work at Mount Rainier National Park, implying hands-on field tasks that help maintain park infrastructure and visitor access while supporting youth employment and workforce development.
Although the eligibility field references nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the description makes clear that the NPS intends to award to a single source recipient under an existing national youth cooperative agreement. That wording is important because it signals a non-competitive action tied to an already-established partnership mechanism, meaning that even eligible nonprofits should not interpret this notice as an open invitation to apply. The posting functions more as a transparency step, documenting the planned use of federal funds and the intent to direct the award to one identified partner.
The opportunity was created on July 5, 2017, with an original closing date of July 15, 2017, but that date should be understood as a public notice timeline rather than a true application deadline, since submissions are not being accepted. The expected number of awards is one, reinforcing the single-recipient intent, and the listed award ceiling is $60,897, which represents the maximum federal amount anticipated for this specific project action under the cooperative agreement framework.Apply for P17AS00472
