Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM CA Continuation United Desert Gateway MLR" (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00042) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cooperative agreement focused on sustaining and extending ongoing work tied to an existing agreement, L09AC15990, which was scheduled to expire on September 30, 2014. The core purpose is to continue current efforts and support future projects that contribute to the long-term, on-the-ground management of the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area (ISDRA) in California. Rather than launching an entirely new initiative, this opportunity is framed as a continuation funding action meant to keep an established program moving forward without interruption.
The program is rooted in the idea that managing a large, heavily visited recreation landscape like ISDRA depends heavily on strong, practical partnerships. BLM is looking to deepen collaboration with local communities, local businesses, sand sports enthusiasts, and the broader group of visitors who use the dunes. Through these partnerships, BLM aims to reduce operating costs and improve the effectiveness of recreation area management by expanding volunteer involvement, encouraging financial and in-kind support, and improving how visitor-facing information and outreach are developed and delivered. A major emphasis is placed on the development, coordination, and implementation of public educational materials and programs, with the goal of helping BLM meet its overall objectives for responsible recreation resource management at ISDRA.
This opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement structure, which generally signals that BLM expects to remain actively involved in the project during performance (for example, through coordination, shared planning, or program oversight), rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant with minimal agency involvement. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, specifically tied to recreation resource management under CFDA number 15.225. BLM anticipated making one award under this announcement, with an estimated total program funding level of $250,000. The award ceiling is listed at $250,000 and the award floor at $500, indicating the agency had a defined maximum budget for the single award but left flexibility for smaller funding levels depending on the final project scope. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which can lower barriers to participation for eligible organizations.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. In practical terms, that points toward community-based nonprofits, friends groups, recreation or conservation nonprofits, and similar organizations that can organize volunteers, coordinate with stakeholders, and produce public-facing outreach and education materials for visitors. The posting date for the opportunity was February 18, 2014, with an original and current closing date of March 18, 2014. The opportunity was later archived on December 30, 2018. Applicants were directed to the Grants.gov listing for full announcement materials and instructions, and the designated point of contact for access issues was Leona B. Parker, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 530-252-5338 or lparker@blm.gov.
In short, this funding opportunity was designed to keep an existing partnership-driven management and outreach effort operating at the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area, leveraging nonprofit capacity to strengthen volunteer programs, improve visitor education, and build local stakeholder collaboration in ways that help BLM manage a high-demand recreation environment more efficiently and effectively.
