Opportunity Information: Apply for P17AS00523
The Nature Neighbor Outreach and Stewardship SMMF SAMO opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P17AS00523) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action under the Department of the Interior. It is structured as a cooperative agreement in the natural resources funding activity area (CFDA 15.954). The core purpose is to support the federal objective of increasing public awareness and connection to the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, with emphasis on helping more people learn about and engage with what the park offers.
At a practical level, the project described is aimed at outreach and stewardship that highlights the park's recreational opportunities, park programming, and park research. That includes efforts that inform local communities and visitors about ways to experience the park, participate in organized activities or educational programs, and better understand ongoing research happening in or connected to the recreation area. The title signals a "Nature Neighbor" approach, which typically means focusing on nearby communities and building a stronger relationship between the park and the people who live around it, encouraging both use and care of park resources.
This announcement is not a request for applications and was issued as a Notice of Intent to Award. In other words, it functioned as a public transparency notice rather than an open competition. The NPS indicated it would fund the project under an existing cooperative agreement with the Santa Monica Mountains Fund (SMMF), a nonprofit organization eligible by virtue of its 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The expected number of awards is one, and the maximum funding amount listed is $150,000.
Key administrative details show the opportunity was created on July 20, 2017, with an original closing date of August 1, 2017, which in this context reflects the timing of the notice rather than a competitive application deadline. Overall, the grant action is best understood as a formal step to support an established NPS partner in carrying out outreach and stewardship work that elevates awareness, participation, and understanding of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area.Apply for P17AS00523
