Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00558
The grant opportunity titled "ATCHAFALAYA NATIONAL HERITAGE AREA - Mod 16" (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00558) is a National Park Service funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It is categorized as a discretionary award and will be issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the funded work, such as coordination, technical input, review of deliverables, or participation in project implementation. The activity category is listed as Education, and the assistance listing (CFDA) number attached to the opportunity is 15.939, which corresponds to National Park Service financial assistance programs.
This notice is not an open solicitation and is explicitly described as a Notice of Intent to Award rather than a request for applications. In practice, that means the agency is publicly documenting its intention to fund a specific project (and usually a specific recipient) without conducting a full and open competitive process. The posting serves transparency and compliance purposes by informing the public that the National Park Service plans to make an award under this opportunity, rather than inviting multiple organizations to apply. Because it is not competitive, there is no traditional application deadline; the original closing date section reinforces this by stating that the announcement is solely for public notice of intent to fund a federal financial assistance project without full and open competition.
Eligibility for the intended recipient is limited to nonprofits that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. This is a relatively narrow eligibility category and is consistent with heritage area partnership models, where nonprofit coordinating entities often play the lead role in planning, interpretation, community engagement, and educational programming tied to landscape-scale conservation and cultural heritage themes.
The award parameters indicate an anticipated single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $327,720. Since only one award is expected and the ceiling is specified, the funding is likely aligned with a defined scope of work under "Modification 16," suggesting this is an amendment or continuation action to an existing cooperative agreement or project series for the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area. While the posting does not provide detailed project tasks, the title and modification language imply the funds support ongoing heritage area activities, potentially including interpretive and educational initiatives, public history and cultural resource programming, partnerships with local communities, and related outreach consistent with National Park Service heritage area objectives.
Key administrative details include the creation date of August 20, 2018, the issuing agency as the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and the formal designation of the opportunity as "ATCHAFALAYA NATIONAL HERITAGE AREA Modification 16." In short, this is a single-recipient, non-competitive cooperative agreement action by the National Park Service to support education-related work associated with the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area, with up to $327,720 available under the modification.Apply for P18AS00558
