Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00583
The Groundwork Richmond (GWR) Capacity Building and Program Development opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00583) is a National Park Service (NPS) funding notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is categorized as a discretionary award and will be made through a cooperative agreement, which typically means NPS anticipates having substantial involvement in the funded work (for example, coordinating, providing technical input, or collaborating on implementation rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation). The funding activity category is listed as Employment, Labor and Training, and the related CFDA number is 15.954.
This announcement is specifically not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a public notice that NPS intends to fund certain project activities without competition, meaning NPS plans to make a direct (non-competitive) award rather than opening the opportunity to multiple applicants in a competitive process. The notice indicates an expectation of a single award.
The total maximum funding amount (award ceiling) for the project is $59,899, with 1 expected award. The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others," with a note indicating additional eligibility details would be provided in an accompanying eligibility clarification field (not included in the text provided). The opportunity was created on July 31, 2017, and lists an original closing date of August 10, 2017, which in this context mainly serves as the posting timeframe for the public notice rather than a true application deadline, since applications are not being solicited.
In practical terms, the notice communicates that NPS planned to support Groundwork Richmond’s capacity building and program development work through a cooperative agreement up to $59,899, via a non-competitive process, and the posting exists to meet transparency requirements by informing the public of that intent.Apply for P17AS00583
