Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00220
The Volunteer Coordination Support for Trail Projects at Golden Gate National Recreation Area opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00220) is a National Park Service (Department of the Interior) cooperative agreement focused on supporting volunteer-led trail work within Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The core purpose is to strengthen on-the-ground trail stewardship by pairing the National Park Service (NPS) with the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy (GGNPC) so they can share staff capacity and technical know-how to run safe, well-managed volunteer trail projects that improve visitor access and experience.
The project centers on providing experienced technical experts who are skilled at organizing and leading different kinds of volunteer groups, including community members, corporate volunteer teams, and youth participants. These leaders guide volunteers through practical trail tasks while keeping work standards, safety practices, and appropriate resource protection at the forefront. The intended result is trail work that is both effective and consistent with NPS expectations for maintaining a safe and suitable outdoor environment for visitors across the Golden Gate NRA.
This announcement is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award rather than a competitive call for proposals. In other words, it is not requesting applications from the public. Instead, it serves as public notice that the NPS planned to fund this project under an existing cooperative agreement with the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy. The eligible applicant category listed is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which aligns with the Conservancy's nonprofit role as a long-standing partner supporting the park.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, indicating an arrangement where NPS expects substantial involvement alongside the partner organization during project implementation. The activity categories are Education and Natural Resources, reflecting both the hands-on stewardship outcomes (natural resource and trail infrastructure support) and the volunteer engagement and learning aspects that come with organized service days and youth involvement. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.944.
The anticipated award structure was a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $99,582. The posting date is May 14, 2018, with an original closing date of May 30, 2018, though the practical significance of the closing date is limited here because the notice is not a solicitation. Overall, the opportunity is about enabling coordinated volunteer stewardship on trails at Golden Gate NRA by ensuring knowledgeable leadership, strong collaboration between NPS and GGNPC, and volunteer experiences that support safe, high-quality trail conditions and deeper public connection to the park.Apply for P18AS00220
