Opportunity Summary:

The Blackfoot River Valley Environmental Education Programs grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00147) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement focused on strengthening community-based environmental education in the Blackfoot River watershed. The core purpose was to support projects that enhance local environmental education programs tied to natural resource issues and stewardship in the Blackfoot River Valley, aligning with the broader theme of conservation resource management. The funding activity category was Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA listing was 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, indicating the work was intended to contribute to conservation outcomes through education and community engagement.

This opportunity was offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expected to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing funds, such as coordination, guidance, or collaboration during implementation. The announcement anticipated a single award in total. The estimated total funding available was listed as $25,000, but the award ceiling and award floor were both set at $5,000, suggesting that individual awards under this posting were intended to be exactly $5,000 (or that the specific award amount for this opportunity was fixed at that level), even though the overall funding estimate in the listing was higher.

Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of applicant, as long as any clarifications in the official text were met. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which generally lowers the barrier to entry for smaller organizations, schools, local governments, nonprofits, tribes, community groups, or other entities that may want to run or expand environmental education activities without needing to secure a formal match.

The timeline for the opportunity shows it was posted and created on July 2, 2012, with an application deadline of August 1, 2012. The archive date was August 29, 2012, indicating the opportunity is no longer active and was formally closed out in the system shortly after the deadline. Anyone who had trouble accessing the full announcement at the time was directed to contact Lori Anderson, Grants Management Officer, at 406-896-5196 or landerso@blm.gov, which served as the primary point of contact for administrative or access-related questions.
