Opportunity Summary:
The Anasazi State Park Museum Partnership grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00180) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding program offered through a cooperative agreement in the natural resources category. The core purpose is to establish a formal, working partnership between Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GSENM) and Anasazi State Park (ASP), centered on improving and coordinating visitor contact services at the Anasazi State Park Museum in Boulder, Utah. In practical terms, the project is designed to let GSENM use an existing, well-known visitor contact location to provide recreation information and issue required camping permits, directly supporting goals laid out in the GSENM Management Plan. Rather than duplicating services at separate locations, the partnership aims to pool staff time, facilities, and operational resources so both organizations can deliver better customer service while lowering the combined cost of providing those services.
Beyond basic visitor assistance, the opportunity emphasizes longer-term public value by encouraging the partnership to grow into a broader platform for community and visitor engagement. The announcement specifically points to opportunities for mutually beneficial educational and interpretive programming, cultural heritage projects, and internship experiences. In other words, the grant is not only about handling permits and answering questions at a front desk; it is also intended to strengthen public participation and enrich how visitors learn about the area, its recreation opportunities, and its cultural and historical resources. By formalizing collaboration, GSENM and ASP are positioned to coordinate messaging, share interpretive materials, streamline visitor interactions, and potentially develop joint programs that neither partner could support as effectively on its own.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the program anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. The listing shows an award ceiling of $3,000 and an award floor of $3,000, which indicates the posted award range in the record even though the estimated total available funding is higher. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, making the opportunity simpler for applicants who may not have non-federal funds available to contribute. Eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any clarifications that might appear in the full announcement, meaning prospective applicants would need to review the complete posting for any additional conditions or partnership expectations.
Key dates in the posting include a posted and creation date of July 20, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 8, 2011, and an archive date of September 30, 2011. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.225, Recreation Resource Management, which aligns with the project focus on visitor services, recreation information, and permit support tied to public land management. For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement through Grants.gov, the contact listed is Maria Gochis, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 801-539-4178 and mariagochis@blm.gov (also listed as MariaGochis@blm.gov).
