Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00562
The "Trail preservation" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00562) was offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, as a discretionary funding opportunity focused on natural resources. The project goal is straightforward and practical: to improve the overall condition of park trails while reducing erosion, which in turn helps protect surrounding natural areas and makes the trails safer and more enjoyable for visitors. In real terms, this type of work typically supports maintenance and preservation activities that keep trails durable, limit environmental damage caused by runoff or heavy use, and improve the visitor experience through safer, more stable trail surfaces and better-managed drainage.
Funding was to be provided through a cooperative agreement, which usually means the National Park Service expected to remain actively involved in some aspects of the project rather than simply issuing a check and stepping back. Cooperative agreements often include coordination with agency staff, shared technical input, or alignment with park-specific preservation priorities and standards. The award ceiling listed for this opportunity was $52,800, indicating a relatively small, targeted project budget aimed at on-the-ground improvements rather than large-scale construction.
Eligibility was limited primarily to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), along with other eligible entities as described in the opportunity's additional eligibility information. The opportunity was created on August 21, 2018, and had an original application deadline of August 31, 2018, reflecting a short submission window. The listing showed an expected number of awards as 0, which can sometimes indicate that the posting was intended for a specific project arrangement or partner, or that awards were uncertain at the time of posting. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity was 15.931, which identifies the federal assistance program category under which the funding was administered.Apply for P18AS00562
