Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00015
The Education Center for Children of Yellowstone National Park opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00015) is a National Park Service notice published by the U.S. Department of the Interior on November 15, 2017. It falls under the Education activity category and would be carried out through a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means the recipient and the National Park Service expect to work closely together on the project rather than operating entirely independently. The CFDA listing tied to the opportunity is 15.954.
This posting is not an open grant competition and it is not requesting applications from the public. Instead, it serves as a formal public notice that the National Park Service intends to provide additional financial assistance to continue an existing project with a single, specified recipient under an already established Cooperative Agreement. In other words, the agency is signaling that it plans to extend or continue funding for work that is already underway with an existing partner, rather than soliciting new proposals.
The notice identifies the general pool of eligible applicant types as 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because the announcement is explicitly a single-source continuation action and not a solicitation, this eligibility information should be read as contextual rather than an invitation for new organizations to apply. Consistent with that, there is no application closing date because submissions are not being accepted.
In terms of scale, the stated maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $10,000, and the National Park Service anticipates making one award. Overall, the key takeaway is that this is an administrative transparency notice about continuing a small education-focused cooperative agreement connected to Yellowstone National Park, not an opportunity for new applicants to compete for funding.Apply for P18AS00015
