Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00427
The Department of the Interior, through the National Park Service (NPS), issued a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Landscape project to renew the grounds at Andersonville NHS" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00427). The effort focuses on improving the overall appearance and visitor experience at two closely connected sites in Georgia: Andersonville National Cemetery and the Andersonville National Historic Site Prison Stockade. The core work is landscaping, aimed at renewing and maintaining the grounds in ways that make the sites more visually welcoming and enjoyable for the public while supporting the dignified setting expected at a national cemetery and a historically significant preservation area.
The funding instrument identified for this work is a cooperative agreement, which typically means NPS expects to be actively involved in coordinating, overseeing, or guiding the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The activity category is listed under Education, which fits with the National Park Service mission of helping visitors learn from and engage with historic places; in practice, the landscaping improvements are intended to strengthen the setting in which interpretation and public visitation occur. The listing references CFDA number 15.931, which corresponds to National Park Service assistance programs.
Financially, the opportunity indicates an award ceiling of $94,480 and anticipates making one award. The notice is clear that it is not an open request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a restricted award, specifically to the American Conservation Experience. In other words, this announcement functions more as a public disclosure of the government’s plan to fund a specific partner for a defined project, rather than a competitive grant where multiple applicants submit proposals.
Eligibility categories shown in the posting include nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) and other eligible entities as described in additional eligibility text. However, because the posting is a restricted award notice with no application closing date and no solicitation for proposals, those general eligibility categories do not translate into an opportunity for outside organizations to apply in this case.
In practical terms, the project is about enhancing the grounds at Andersonville by performing landscaping work within the National Cemetery and the Prison Stockade areas. The expected outcome is a refreshed appearance that supports respectful remembrance in the cemetery and improves the visual quality of the visitor environment at the historic site. The end goal, as described, is to enhance the visual enjoyment of visitors and guests, reinforcing the sites as well-maintained public places that reflect their national significance.Apply for P19AS00427
