Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00266
The National Public Lands Day grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00266) was issued by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and posted on May 16, 2017. It falls under the discretionary funding category and is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which generally means the National Park Service anticipated having substantial involvement in planning or carrying out the supported work. The funding activity category is listed as Education, and the opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.954.
The purpose of the opportunity was straightforward: to provide support to National Park Service park units as they prepared for National Public Lands Day 2017. In practical terms, this kind of support typically relates to organizing and coordinating activities that help parks get ready for the annual event, which often includes volunteer projects, community engagement efforts, and educational or stewardship-focused programming tied to public lands.
This notice was not an open, competitive funding announcement. Instead, it functioned as a notice of intent to enter into an agreement with a specific organization: the National Environmental Education and Training Foundation (NEETF), under an existing cooperative agreement (P15AC31002). The posting explicitly states that no applications would be accepted, meaning other potential applicants could not apply and there was no standard application deadline in the usual sense. The eligible applicant field is broadly labeled as "Others," but the accompanying instruction to consult additional eligibility information is effectively superseded here by the non-competitive intent statement naming NEETF as the intended partner.
The anticipated award details indicate a single expected award with an award ceiling of $45,000. With only one award planned and a defined ceiling, the scope was likely limited to targeted, near-term preparation support for participating park units leading into National Public Lands Day 2017, rather than a large multi-recipient program.Apply for P17AS00266
