Opportunity Information: Apply for NPS 20 REG1 0005
The grant opportunity titled "Advance engagement of Latino communities in outdoor recreation" is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action designed to strengthen and expand Latino and Hispanic community participation in outdoor recreation, stewardship, and restoration activities connected to the Chesapeake Bay region. It sits within a larger federal and regional framework that includes the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Agreement, Executive Order 13508, and the Chesapeake Bay Initiative Act, all of which guide coordinated efforts to improve access to natural and cultural resources, protect important landscapes, and build long-term public stewardship across the watershed. The core idea is to make Chesapeake Bay recreation and conservation efforts more accessible and culturally meaningful to communities that have historically been underrepresented in these spaces.
A key point is that the public notice is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as formal notification that NPS intends to award a cooperative agreement for this work, with Corazon Latino identified as the partner organization. In practice, that means the opportunity is not open for competitive submissions during the posted window. The eligible applicant type listed is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (excluding institutions of higher education), which aligns with Corazon Latino's role as a community-based nonprofit partner. The expected number of awards is one, reinforcing that the notice is tied to a specific intended recipient rather than a broad competition.
Programmatically, the project is focused on helping NPS and its partners connect multicultural, Latino, and Hispanic communities to the Chesapeake Bay Gateways Network sites. These gateway sites and related water trails function as public access points and interpretive locations where people can experience the Bay's natural and cultural history. The activities described emphasize increasing public access to recreation and to natural and cultural resources, improving interpretation of gateway sites and water trails so they are more engaging and relevant, fostering stewardship through volunteerism and community involvement, and supporting conservation of watershed resources. Corazon Latino's role is positioned as both near-term and long-term, suggesting an ongoing partnership aimed at sustained community engagement rather than a one-off outreach effort.
Administratively, the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during planning and implementation. Rather than issuing one single, fixed project plan up front, NPS indicates that the work will be carried out through separate task agreements under the broader cooperative agreement. Each task agreement will have its own statement of work and budget, developed collaboratively between NPS and Corazon Latino. This structure allows the partnership to authorize and fund individual projects or initiatives as needs evolve, opportunities arise, or priorities shift, while still keeping all activities aligned with Chesapeake Bay access, stewardship, interpretation, and conservation goals.
From the source data, the opportunity is listed under CFDA number 15.930 and categorized in the environment funding activity area. The opportunity number is NPS 20 REG1 0005, created April 8, 2020, with an original closing date of April 18, 2020. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which commonly signals that a specific maximum amount was not published in the notice, or that funding levels are determined through subsequent task agreements and negotiated budgets rather than a single advertised cap. Overall, the notice documents NPS's intent to partner with Corazon Latino to expand Latino community access to outdoor recreation and stewardship opportunities tied to Chesapeake Bay Gateways Network sites, using a cooperative, task-by-task approach to define and deliver the work.Apply for NPS 20 REG1 0005
