NAVA FY17 YCC Summer Project | P17AS00301

Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00301

The NAVA FY17 YCC Summer Project (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00301) is a National Park Service funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior, created on May 25, 2017. It falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.931) and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. In practical terms, a cooperative agreement generally signals that the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in guiding, coordinating, or participating in the project rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal engagement.

This opportunity is labeled as discretionary, but it is not being offered as an open competition. The listed closing information states "Notice of Intent to Award, not a request for applications," which means the agency is announcing its intention to make an award rather than inviting the general public to apply. As a result, there typically would not be a standard application package, competitive proposal process, or broad solicitation period associated with this listing. Instead, it indicates that the agency has identified a specific project and likely a partner organization for the award.

Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have IRS 501(c)(3) status and are not institutions of higher education. That restriction suggests the intended recipient is a charitable nonprofit capable of carrying out youth or conservation-oriented work, consistent with the "YCC" naming, which commonly refers to Youth Conservation Corps-related programming in National Park Service contexts. While the listing provides only a brief project description, the title indicates a summer project associated with NAVA, which is commonly used as an abbreviation for Navajo National Monument in National Park Service project naming conventions, and the focus on a summer YCC project typically implies youth engagement in conservation, maintenance, stewardship, or resource management activities during the summer season.

The expected funding level is modest and targeted: the award ceiling is $27,400, and the agency anticipates making one award. That combination usually indicates a single, defined project scope with a specific budget rather than a broad grant program supporting multiple recipients. Overall, this listing functions primarily as a formal public notice that the National Park Service plans to issue one cooperative agreement, up to $27,400, to an eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit partner for a FY2017 summer Youth Conservation Corps-related project connected to NAVA, within the agency's natural resources mission.
