Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00003
Historic Preservation at Joshua Tree National Park (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00003) is a National Park Service discretionary funding notice under the U.S. Department of the Interior that supports natural resource and historic preservation-related work at Joshua Tree National Park through a cooperative agreement. The project is designed as a collaborative, on-the-ground effort in which Conservation Legacy (CL) crews work alongside park staff to tackle deferred maintenance needs while also advancing broader resource stewardship and land management priorities. In practice, the work is framed as a set of interconnected activities that help maintain and protect park resources while building practical workforce experience for participants.
The opportunity centers on three main outcomes. First, it creates structured, hands-on learning and professional development for Conservation Legacy crews by placing them directly into real park operations and land management projects. This kind of experience typically exposes participants to field standards, safety practices, project planning, and the day-to-day realities of maintaining and caring for public lands, which can be especially valuable for early-career conservation workers. Second, it explicitly aims to strengthen connections between youth and public lands, reflecting a youth engagement and stewardship development purpose that goes beyond completing physical maintenance tasks. Third, it supports Joshua Tree National Park in meeting resource management and stewardship goals while addressing deferred maintenance, meaning the project is intended to reduce backlog maintenance pressures and improve the condition and longevity of park assets and resources tied to historic preservation and land stewardship.
Administratively, the notice is not a call for new proposals and is not an open request for applications. It is labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award," which serves primarily as a public transparency step indicating that the National Park Service plans to fund this work under an existing cooperative agreement with Conservation Legacy rather than running a competitive application process. The listed eligible applicant types are nonprofit organizations, including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (in both cases excluding institutions of higher education), but the structure of the announcement makes clear that the funding path for this specific project is already established through the pre-existing partnership mechanism.
The award information provided indicates an award ceiling of $176,000. The posting also shows "Expected Awards: 0," which aligns with the intent-to-award format because the funding is being issued under an existing agreement rather than through new competitive awards generated from this announcement. The opportunity falls under CFDA number 15.931 and is categorized under Natural Resources, with the funding instrument type specified as a cooperative agreement, signaling a relationship where the National Park Service is expected to have substantial involvement in the project’s execution in collaboration with the partner organization and the crews working on site.Apply for P19AS00003
