Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00038
The Conservation Legacy Restoration Crew grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00038) is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through the National Park Service. It is designed to support natural resource-related work by funding a single project or partner effort focused on restoration crew activities under the broader theme of conservation and stewardship. The opportunity falls under CFDA 15.931, which is commonly associated with National Park Service assistance programs tied to resource protection, maintenance, and related conservation outcomes.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. That distinction matters because a cooperative agreement typically involves substantial involvement from the National Park Service in carrying out the project, such as collaborative planning, coordination, technical guidance, or shared implementation responsibilities. In other words, recipients should generally expect a more hands-on partnership structure with the agency compared to a conventional grant where the grantee operates more independently.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have active 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. This points to an intended applicant pool of mission-driven nonprofit conservation and service organizations, particularly those capable of organizing and managing field crews, delivering restoration work, and meeting federal compliance, reporting, and performance expectations.
The published award ceiling is $52,800, and the opportunity anticipates making one award. That suggests a small, targeted project rather than a large multi-recipient program. The listing is marked as a continuation/notice of intent, which generally indicates the agency anticipated continuing or formalizing support for an ongoing relationship or previously competed effort rather than running a broad open competition with multiple new entrants. The opportunity was created on December 16, 2016, and does not list a standard closing date in the provided data, consistent with the continuation/notice-of-intent framing.
In practical terms, this opportunity is best read as a focused National Park Service partnership funding action to support a nonprofit-led restoration crew undertaking hands-on conservation work, with federal collaboration built into the agreement and a relatively modest budget cap intended to cover a defined scope of activities over the project period.Apply for P17AS00038
