Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00219
The Emergency Stabilization of the Back Ranch Smokehouse grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00219) is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service. It was structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the National Park Service expected to be substantially involved in the work alongside the recipient rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The funding activity category is listed under Natural Resources, and the opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945.
The purpose of the project is straightforward and urgent: to carry out emergency stabilization treatments for the Back family smokehouse located at Montezuma Well. This smokehouse is described as one of the oldest surviving log structures in Arizona, giving it clear historical and cultural significance. However, its condition was reported as poor enough that the structure faced an imminent risk of collapse. The proposed work focused on preventing that loss by stabilizing the building so it could remain standing and be protected for the future.
The National Park Service planned to work in partnership with an organization identified as Cornerstones to complete the stabilization work. The emphasis on collaboration aligns with the cooperative agreement model and suggests hands-on coordination between the park and the partner organization in planning, executing, and overseeing the stabilization treatments.
Eligibility for applicants was limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status recognized by the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. The funding details indicate a single anticipated award (Expected Awards: 1), with an award ceiling of $81,242, meaning the maximum amount available for this one project was up to that figure. The opportunity was created on June 4, 2019, and had an original application closing date of June 13, 2019, reflecting a short window to apply consistent with the emergency nature of the work described.Apply for P19AS00219
