Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CA Continuation Lost Coast Education and Engagement Program (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00040) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary funding opportunity designed to continue and complete work already underway under two existing cooperative agreements, L10AC20196 and L10AC20197. Those agreements were set to expire on September 30, 2014, and the BLM planned to merge them into a single new agreement so the work could continue seamlessly without disruption. The core point of the announcement is continuity: the activities proposed for funding are not new stand-alone projects, but rather the next phase of efforts that were already being implemented and were considered necessary for satisfactory completion of the ongoing scope of work.
The opportunity focuses on natural resource and recreation resource management, with an emphasis on public-facing education and engagement tied to the King Range National Conservation Area (KRNCA) and the Lost Coast region. The BLM explains that keeping the same partner organization is important because introducing a new organization would, in their view, reduce program quality and increase costs. The agency specifically notes that changing partners would require additional government spending to bring new staff up to speed on the existing projects and would risk weakening the delivery of protection activities, interpretive services, and educational programming that visitors and the public rely on.
From an operational standpoint, the BLM frames the partnership as a cost-effective way to meet federal land management goals. According to the description, the partner has helped reduce BLM operating costs by supporting and expanding volunteer programs, helping generate financial support, and assisting with the development, coordination, and implementation of educational materials and public programs. In practical terms, that means the cooperative agreement is meant to sustain staffing and organizational capacity that can recruit and manage volunteers, produce outreach and interpretive content, and deliver educational experiences that align with BLM objectives for KRNCA.
Financially, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $200,000, with an award ceiling of $200,000 and an award floor of $500. The BLM expected to make one award. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that BLM anticipated substantial involvement in the project’s implementation or oversight rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. No cost sharing or matching was required, which reduces barriers to participation for eligible organizations and suggests BLM intended the federal funds to cover the full scope of the supported continuation work.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted on February 18, 2014, with a closing date of March 18, 2014, and it was later archived on December 30, 2018. The CFDA number associated with this opportunity is 15.225 (Recreation Resource Management), placing it squarely within the federal assistance category related to managing recreation resources and visitor services on public lands.
