Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0076
Making a Splash: Potomac Visitor Programming Project (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 18 NERO 0076) is a National Park Service public notice, not an open grant competition. The Department of the Interior, National Park Service announced that it has already entered into a Task Agreement with the Potomac Conservancy under an existing Master Cooperative Agreement (P17AC00756). In other words, the notice functions as transparency about a discretionary cooperative agreement action rather than an invitation for new applications, even though the listing includes typical grant fields such as eligibility, dates, and award information.
The purpose of the project is to expand hands-on recreation and recreational learning access to the Potomac River in the greater Washington, DC area. It is framed as supporting a Departmental priority to increase access to outdoor recreation, while also strengthening public understanding of the river and encouraging stewardship. The work is designed to connect more people to the river through guided, on-water experiences and related educational programming, with an emphasis on reaching diverse audiences and building lasting engagement with the Potomac River corridor and its nationally significant trail resources.
Over the project period, Potomac Conservancy commits to several concrete outcomes. Programming will increase to at least 10 on-water experiences per year, and participation will rise by 600 people (described as a 50 percent increase). The organization will also test new engagement strategies and program models, then expand the approaches that prove successful in future years. Beyond recreation alone, the project will encourage participants to take part in stewardship activities that support Chesapeake Bay cleanup goals, linking outdoor experiences to conservation action.
A major component is broader public access to information about the river even for those who do not attend events in person. The project includes online communications and a progressive photo journal series intended to reach Potomac Conservancy's approximately 23,000-person community. This outreach is meant to make the river's resources, stories, and opportunities more visible and approachable, while helping participants and followers begin what the notice describes as a life-long relationship with the river and a deeper understanding of the Potomac's natural and cultural richness.
The project is also notable for its connection to multiple national trails. The Potomac River corridor is described as the only river in the United States that includes portions of five national trails: the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail, the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail, the Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail, the Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route National Historic Trail, and the Appalachian National Scenic Trail. NPS Chesapeake and Potomac Conservancy position their work as an ongoing operational partnership that uses recreation, education, and stewardship programming to enhance visitor experience along these trail resources in the DC metro area.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed as a discretionary cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.930, with an expected single award and an award ceiling of $57,000. While the listing includes an eligibility category (501(c)(3) nonprofits other than institutions of higher education) and shows an original posting date of July 5, 2018 with a closing date of July 14, 2018, the notice repeatedly clarifies that these dates do not reflect an application window because the agreement has already been executed with the Potomac Conservancy.Apply for NPS 18 NERO 0076
