Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00291
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS) published a financial assistance Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Sunset Crater Volcano Fencing and Trail Work" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00291). Even though it appears in the format of a grant opportunity listing, it is explicitly not a request for applications. In practical terms, that means NPS is not soliciting proposals from the public through a competitive application process. Instead, the notice functions as a formal public announcement that the agency intends to make a specific financial assistance award, typically to a pre-identified partner, and is publishing the notice to meet transparency and public notification requirements.
The anticipated award would be issued as a cooperative agreement, which is a type of federal financial assistance used when the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out. Compared with a standard grant, a cooperative agreement usually implies closer coordination with NPS staff on planning, implementation, oversight, reporting, and other aspects of project delivery. The program is categorized under education and natural resources, which aligns with on-the-ground stewardship work in a national park setting, often paired with public benefit outcomes such as visitor safety, resource protection, and improved access or interpretive experiences.
The eligible applicant category listed for this notice is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). This indicates the intended recipient is expected to be a qualifying charitable nonprofit organization rather than a university or college. The notice lists an expected number of awards of one, reinforcing that NPS anticipates making a single, specific award rather than funding multiple projects or multiple recipients.
Financially, the notice indicates an award ceiling of $42,000, meaning the planned federal funding for the project is capped at that amount under this action. The posting date (creation date) is June 18, 2019. The listing shows an "Original Closing Date" field, but it is effectively replaced by the language "National Park Service Financial Assistance Notice of Intent to Award," which is consistent with a non-competitive notice where no application submission deadline applies because applications are not being requested.
In terms of project scope, the title "Sunset Crater Volcano Fencing and Trail Work" suggests activities focused on fencing installation/repair and trail-related work within the Sunset Crater Volcano area, which is part of the NPS system. Projects of this type typically aim to protect sensitive natural and cultural resources, manage visitor use, prevent off-trail impacts, reduce erosion, improve safety, and maintain sustainable access along designated routes. The notice does not provide detailed task descriptions, performance periods, or specific deliverables in the text provided, but the naming strongly indicates practical field work related to park infrastructure and resource management.
Overall, this notice communicates that NPS intends to make one cooperative agreement award, up to $42,000, in the education/natural resources activity area, to an eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit partner, and that the publication is for public notice rather than to invite applications.Apply for P19AS00291
