Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00056
The King Center (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00056) is a National Park Service financial assistance action under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is listed as a discretionary opportunity and would be administered through a cooperative agreement, meaning the National Park Service would expect to have substantial involvement in carrying out the supported work rather than simply issuing funds with minimal federal participation. The activity category is Education, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.955.
This posting is not an open solicitation. It is a Notice of Intent to Award, which is published to give public notice that the National Park Service intends to fund a specific project without full and open competition. In practical terms, that means the agency is signaling an anticipated award to a particular eligible partner rather than inviting multiple organizations to submit applications. Because it is not a request for applications, there is no standard application deadline for competing proposals; instead, the “Original Closing Date” field explains that the notice is solely for transparency about the intended noncompetitive award.
The project itself is described as “MLK, Jr. Center - Annual Programs, Operations and Maintenance.” Based on that scope, the funding is meant to support the ongoing work associated with annual programming as well as the day-to-day operational needs and upkeep tied to the MLK, Jr. Center. This kind of language typically covers activities like planning and delivering recurring educational or interpretive programs, supporting staffing and operational capacity needed to run those programs, and maintaining facilities, exhibits, grounds, or related infrastructure so the site and its offerings remain functional, safe, and accessible to the public. Since the activity category is Education, the core emphasis is likely on sustaining public-facing learning opportunities and interpretation related to the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., with operations and maintenance serving as essential support to keep those offerings running reliably.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that are recognized by the IRS as 501(c)(3) entities, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity indicates an expectation of a single award (Expected Awards: 1), reinforcing that this is intended for a particular partner rather than a broad competitive grant round. The award ceiling is listed as $521,023, which represents the maximum amount anticipated for the award under this notice.
The opportunity was created on January 17, 2017. Overall, this announcement functions as a formal public notice that the National Park Service plans to issue one cooperative agreement, up to $521,023, to an eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit to support the MLK, Jr. Center’s annual programs along with the operations and maintenance needed to sustain them.Apply for P17AS00056
