Tribal Youth Crew | P19AS00124

Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00124

The Tribal Youth Crew opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00124) is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to award federal financial assistance under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is categorized as a discretionary funding action and will be issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as collaborating on planning, oversight, or implementation.

This notice is not an open call for proposals. The announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications and is being published solely to provide public notice that the NPS intends to make an award for the project activities described under the title Tribal Youth Crew. As a result, organizations should not interpret this posting as a competitive funding opportunity with an application package or submission deadline; instead, it functions as a transparency notice about an intended award.

The program aligns with the funding activity areas of education and natural resources, which suggests the project likely combines youth development or learning components with on-the-ground conservation, stewardship, or resource management work. The title Tribal Youth Crew indicates a focus on engaging Tribal youth in crew-based service or work experiences, often associated with conservation corps-style activities that build job skills, support cultural and community connections, and contribute to public land or resource projects, though the notice itself provides only a high-level description.

Eligibility, as listed, is limited to nonprofit organizations that are recognized as 501(c)(3) entities by the IRS and are not institutions of higher education. The applicable CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number is 15.931, which corresponds to National Park Service financial assistance programs.

In terms of funding, the notice lists an award ceiling of $353,711 and anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The posting date is April 23, 2019. Because it is a notice of intent to award rather than a solicitation, the usual elements of a competitive grant announcement (such as an application deadline, required forms, merit criteria, and submission instructions) are not provided, and the "Original Closing Date" field reflects that there is no application process associated with this particular notice.
