Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00499
The funding opportunity titled "Interpretation, Public Outreach, and the Preservation at San Franciso Maritme National Park" (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00499) is a Department of the Interior, National Park Service notice describing an intended cooperative agreement, rather than an open call for proposals. In other words, it is not a request for applications. The National Park Service is signaling its intent to enter into a single cooperative agreement with a specific partner, the San Francisco Maritime National Park Association, to carry out a set of activities that support the park's mission and public services.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary award using a Cooperative Agreement funding instrument, under the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.954). While the eligibility field references nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the notice makes clear that this particular action is not competitive and is directed to the named partner organization. The posting was created on Aug 06, 2018, with an original closing date of Aug 30, 2018, and it anticipates one award (Expected Awards: 1).
The work described centers on joint projects between the San Francisco Maritime National Park Association and the National Park Service focused on resource preservation, interpretation, education, recreation, and outreach. The notice highlights a range of potential activities, including environmental education programs conducted aboard National Historic Landmark ships, hands-on preservation and maintenance efforts, boatbuilding and sailing classes, and community outreach efforts delivered through schools, libraries, and community centers. It also mentions the development of interactive exhibits, suggesting a strong emphasis on public-facing interpretation and engaging learning experiences that connect visitors and local communities to maritime history and park resources.
A key theme of the agreement is public benefit: these projects are framed as providing opportunities for public service as well as youth training and development, indicating that the partnership is intended not only to preserve maritime assets and share their stories, but also to build skills and create pathways for young people to participate in meaningful work connected to conservation, trades, and education. The notice also ties the effort to broader departmental priorities, stating that the activities help advance goals associated with cost-effective operations, addressing cyclic and deferred maintenance, and maintaining high-quality service to the public. In addition, it explicitly links the partnership work to Department of the Interior initiatives aimed at job creation in the American economy, positioning the cooperative agreement as both a stewardship and workforce-supporting effort.Apply for P18AS00499
