Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00223
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service is offering a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Promote Development and Use of All Trail Types for the General Public" (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00223; CFDA 15.935). The opportunity is focused on supporting projects that strengthen public engagement with trails of all types while also building a culture of shared environmental stewardship among recipients, partners, communities, and visitors. In practical terms, the work funded under this opportunity is meant to encourage people to use and value trails, to participate in caring for the environments those trails pass through, and to connect recreational access with responsible, community-oriented management.
A central emphasis of the opportunity is environmental stewardship that is shared across multiple groups, not just led by a single organization. Projects are expected to actively involve community members and visitors, along with organizational partners, in hands-on or programmatic stewardship efforts related to trail environments. At the same time, the grant supports efforts that help the public better understand the places connected to these trail systems, including natural features, cultural and historic resources, recreational opportunities, and other interpretive aspects of landscapes such as ecological conservation areas and state and local parks. This can include activities that help create or enhance interpretive materials, improve promotion and outreach, facilitate educational programming, or otherwise broaden public awareness and appreciation of the resources associated with trail settings.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. The National Park Service is the sponsoring agency, and the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates a higher level of federal involvement than a standard grant, often through collaboration, coordination, or shared responsibilities during project implementation. The opportunity anticipates making one award. The posted award ceiling is listed as 0, which typically signals that the maximum award amount was not specified in the summary information provided and would need to be confirmed in the full announcement or through agency contact.
The opportunity was created on May 2, 2017, with an original closing date of May 12, 2017, reflecting a short application window. Overall, the grant is geared toward nonprofit-led partnerships that expand and encourage public use of trail systems while connecting that use to stewardship, conservation-minded behavior, and a deeper understanding of the natural, cultural, and historic contexts of parks and protected areas.Apply for P17AS00223
