Opportunity Summary:
The ADAPTIVE SPORTS DISABILITY PROGRAM (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00238) was a discretionary Bureau of Land Management (BLM) grant opportunity focused on improving access to and experiences in outdoor recreation for people with disabilities on public lands. The central purpose was to provide adaptive sports disability training and to broaden practical understanding among BLM staff, as well as commercial partners such as outfitters and guides, on how to work effectively with participants with disabilities. In other words, the opportunity aimed to strengthen the skills, awareness, and on-the-ground practices that help make BLM-managed recreation areas more inclusive and better prepared to support adaptive sports and disability-related needs.
This opportunity was offered as a Cooperative Agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category, specifically tied to recreation resource management (CFDA 15.225). The cooperative agreement structure signals that BLM expected to be actively involved in the project beyond simply providing funds, typically through collaboration, technical input, coordination, or shared implementation responsibilities, depending on the final agreement terms and project design. The program’s emphasis on training indicates that proposed projects likely needed to include structured instruction or educational components that could be delivered to BLM personnel and to the outfitter/guide community that operates on public lands.
Funding for the announcement was relatively small and targeted, with an estimated total funding amount of $75,000 and an award ceiling of $75,000. The award floor was listed as $18,750, suggesting BLM was willing to consider smaller-scale proposals as well. The announcement anticipated making one award. Importantly, there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind match as a condition of eligibility, which can make the program more accessible to organizations that have limited fundraising capacity.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity, subject to any further clarifications that may have been included in the full announcement instructions. That generally implies that nonprofits, educational institutions, tribal entities, local governments, and potentially for-profit or other organizations could apply if they could carry out the required training and coordination effectively and met any additional conditions outlined in the full application package.
The timeline for the opportunity was short and it is now archived. It was posted on August 16, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 30, 2012, and an archive date of September 30, 2012. Applicants at the time were directed to download the full instructions and application materials via the announcement’s application tab. For access issues, the listed point of contact was Yvonne Pier, Grants Management Officer, at ypier@blm.gov.
