Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00405
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Refurbishment of The Lowndes Visitor Center" (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00405) under CFDA 15.931. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the National Park Service expects to stay actively involved in the project rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal participation. The notice was created on July 19, 2019, and it is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award, not a request for applications. In practical terms, that means the agency was publishing public notice that it planned to fund a specific project without full and open competition, rather than inviting multiple applicants to compete for the award.
The project itself focuses on refurbishing the Lowndes Visitor Center located at SEMO, with an emphasis on protecting and maintaining a culturally significant resource through substantial interior painting and related repairs. The work described goes beyond cosmetic upgrades; it is framed as preservation work intended to safeguard the building's interior surfaces and overall condition. The scope includes extensive interior wall painting and associated preparation and repair tasks, which may involve correcting damage and stabilizing surfaces so that the finished work both looks appropriate and helps preserve the historic or cultural fabric of the site.
A central goal of the opportunity is workforce development for young people. GWUSA will organize youth into work crews and use the refurbishment as a hands-on training platform. Participants are expected to learn career-relevant preservation and building trades techniques, including plaster repair, proper painting methods, safe and effective use of painting equipment, and working with scaffolding. The intent is that youth gain practical, employable skills while completing real preservation tasks in a controlled, supervised environment, connecting education and job-readiness with tangible stewardship outcomes.
Eligibility for the project funding is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The anticipated funding level includes an award ceiling of $63,245, and the National Park Service expected to make one award. Overall, the opportunity combines cultural resource preservation with structured youth training, using a focused refurbishment effort at the Lowndes Visitor Center to deliver both improved facility conditions and workforce skill-building outcomes.Apply for P19AS00405
