Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00250
The grant opportunity titled "Promote Fishing, Outdoor Recreation and Career Development" (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00250) is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through the National Park Service. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the National Park Service is expected to have an active partnership role in carrying out the work rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The program sits within the education activity category (CFDA 15.931) and is designed to broaden participation in outdoor recreation while also building pathways for youth career development.
The core purpose of the project is to increase awareness of and access to hands-on outdoor recreation for more than 4,000 young people and their families across the Denver metropolitan area. The activities highlighted include fishing, camping, archery, and other outdoor recreation opportunities, with the intent of lowering barriers for urban and suburban youth who may not otherwise have easy exposure to these experiences. In practice, this kind of project typically focuses on introducing participants to skills, safety, and responsible outdoor use, while also helping families learn where to go, how to get started, and what resources are available on nearby public lands.
A key feature of the opportunity is its emphasis on extending the National Park experience beyond park boundaries by connecting youth and families to a broader network of public land and recreation partners. The project is explicitly intended to link participants with multiple public land management agencies and local partners, including the National Park Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, and Denver Parks and Recreation. This partnership approach is meant to help participants see outdoor recreation as something accessible in many settings, not only within a single park unit, and to create a more coordinated set of entry points into public lands and community-based recreation programs.
In addition to recreation access, the grant includes a strong workforce and career exploration component. The project will provide career development opportunities for high school and college students, which commonly includes exposure to conservation and recreation careers, mentorship, leadership development, and practical experience supporting youth programming. The intent is to build both interest and readiness for future education or employment related to natural resources, parks, wildlife, outdoor education, and related fields.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. The funding details indicate a single expected award, with an award ceiling of $55,634. The opportunity was created on May 29, 2018, and had an original application closing date of June 7, 2018, reflecting a short application window typical of some targeted cooperative agreement awards tied to specific program needs or timelines.Apply for P18AS00250
