Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00244
The Institute at the Golden Gate Launch and Operational Support opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00244) is a National Park Service, Department of the Interior funding action focused on helping continue the launch and day-to-day operation of the Institute of the Golden Gate. The work is framed as a collaboration under a cooperative agreement, meaning the agency anticipates an active partnership role rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The overall intent is to strengthen the Institute's ability to convene people and programs in park settings, with a particular emphasis on building out both the content and the outreach tools needed to attract and support meetings, conferences, and related gatherings.
The project scope centers on developing programming and marketing materials that support convening opportunities at Cavallo Point Lodge and other locations within the park environment. In practical terms, this points to creating event-related program concepts, agendas or thematic offerings, and the promotional or informational materials that would help communicate those offerings to potential partners, participants, and stakeholders. The opportunity also includes development of an urban public engagement initiative, suggesting an additional track of work aimed at connecting broader city-based audiences with the Institute and the park mission, likely through public-facing events, campaigns, partnerships, or outreach approaches designed specifically for urban communities.
This is listed as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument type, and it falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.954). The stated eligible applicants are nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, the announcement is explicitly not a request for applications. It is a Notice of Intent to Award, issued to provide public notice that the National Park Service planned to fund this project under an existing cooperative agreement with the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy (GGNPC). As a result, there is no open competition implied by the notice, and the standard application process most organizations would expect for a typical grant opportunity does not apply here.
Financially, the notice identifies an award ceiling of $88,000 and anticipates a single award. The creation date is May 10, 2017, with an original closing date of May 23, 2017, which functions more as an administrative timeline marker for the public notice rather than a true application deadline since proposals were not being solicited. Overall, the announcement signals targeted operational and launch support for the Institute of the Golden Gate, emphasizing convening-related program development, marketing and communications deliverables, and an urban-facing public engagement component, delivered through a collaborative arrangement already in place with the named nonprofit partner.Apply for P17AS00244
