Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00264
This funding notice is a Notice of Intent to Award from the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS). It is published under Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00264 and carries the title "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD." The key point is that this posting is not a request for applications, meaning it is not an open competition and the agency is not inviting new proposals through this announcement. Instead, it signals that NPS intends to make an award under the terms described, typically to a specific organization or partner identified through prior discussions or an existing selection process.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and will be issued as a cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as collaborating on planning, participating in oversight, or providing technical direction during implementation. The listed funding activity category is education, which indicates the work supported by this award is expected to focus on educational programming, services, outreach, interpretation, training, or similar learning-centered activities connected to the National Park Service mission.
Eligibility, as stated in the source data, is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. In other words, qualifying applicants must be charitable nonprofit organizations recognized by the IRS under section 501(c)(3), but colleges and universities are not considered eligible under this notice. Because this is not an application solicitation, the eligibility description is best read as describing the type of organization the intended awardee falls under, rather than an invitation for other nonprofits to apply.
Financially, the notice lists an award ceiling of $78,000 and anticipates a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1). This suggests a relatively small, targeted project or a discrete component of a broader program. The posting date (CreationDate) is May 30, 2018. The "OriginalClosingDate" field effectively reiterates that it is a Notice of Intent to Award rather than providing a deadline, reinforcing that there is no application window and no due date for submissions.
The CFDA number associated with this opportunity is 15.931, which is the identifier used for a specific federal assistance program. While the notice itself does not provide additional program narrative beyond the basic classification, the CFDA reference helps place the award within the federal catalog of assistance and can be used to look up broader program context, typical project types, and compliance expectations related to that assistance listing.
In practical terms, this posting functions primarily as a public transparency notice. It lets the public know NPS expects to make one cooperative agreement award, up to $78,000, for an education-related purpose, and that the intended recipient is within the 501(c)(3) nonprofit category (excluding higher education institutions). Organizations looking for funding should not treat this as an opportunity to submit a new proposal; instead, they would need to monitor other NPS announcements that explicitly request applications or are designated as competitive solicitations.Apply for P18AS00264
