Opportunity Summary:
The BLM AZ Safford Visitor Center Support opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00148) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary funding program designed to strengthen public outreach and visitor services for BLM-managed public lands in and around Graham County, Arizona. The project is anchored in the BLM Safford Field Office area and builds on a previously successful partnership model (referenced as agreement L09AC15958) with a local partner organization. While the effort can benefit a broad range of Safford Field Office resources, it is especially aimed at outdoor recreation sites and areas that see the highest levels of visitor use, where timely information and on-the-ground education can have the biggest impact.
The central goal is to have a partner help the BLM reach visitors at times when BLM offices are typically closed, particularly on weekends and during extended hours. The partner would provide visitor-facing services such as operating or staffing a kiosk and distributing brochures, maps, and other practical materials that explain where people can recreate, what opportunities exist, and what rules apply on BLM lands. A key part of the public service role is making sure visitors receive current, accurate updates that affect safety and compliance, such as fire restrictions, temporary closures, and other time-sensitive warnings. In addition to basic trip-planning support, the project emphasizes education about the landscape and its resources, encouraging responsible recreation and reinforcing proper land use ethics, including awareness of sensitive resources that could be damaged by misuse or uninformed visitation.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates a more hands-on relationship between the BLM and the recipient than a standard grant, often involving coordination on messaging, priorities, and deliverables. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 15.225, Recreation Resource Management, and anticipates making a single award. The estimated total funding available is $37,500, with an award ceiling of $37,500 and an award floor of $7,500. No cost sharing or matching funds are required, which can make the project more accessible to smaller organizations or entities that do not have substantial cash reserves.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to essentially any type of applicant as long as they meet any requirements described in the full announcement. The posting date was June 12, 2014, with a submission deadline of July 22, 2014, by 5:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time through Grants.gov; applications submitted after that time were not to be considered. The announcement was archived on July 28, 2014. For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Eddie W. Bell Jr., Grants Management Officer, reachable by phone at 602-417-9268 or email at ebell@blm.gov.
