Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00279
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service has posted a discretionary funding notice titled "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD" under Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00279. This posting is not an open solicitation and it is not asking the public to submit applications. Instead, it functions as an informational announcement that the National Park Service intends to make an award, typically to a specific recipient or as the final step in an internal or previously competed process. Because it is a notice of intent rather than a request for proposals, organizations should not expect an application package, competitive scoring, or a standard submission window tied to this posting.
The anticipated award will be made as a cooperative agreement, which usually means the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the project rather than simply issuing funds with minimal federal participation. The funding activity category listed is Education, and the opportunity is associated with CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) number 15.931. Only one award is expected, and the maximum funding amount shown (the award ceiling) is $42,999, indicating a relatively small, single-project award.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. In practical terms, that means a qualifying charitable nonprofit could be the recipient, but colleges and universities are not considered eligible under this specific notice. The posting date is June 1, 2018, and the "closing date" field reiterates that this is a notice of intent to award rather than an application deadline.
Overall, the key takeaway is that this listing is informational and signals the National Park Service's plan to issue one education-related cooperative agreement up to $42,999 to an eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit (not a higher education institution). It is not an opportunity to compete for funds through a new application submission.Apply for P18AS00279
