Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CA Cosumnes River Preserve Environmental Education Program (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00080) was a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The purpose of the opportunity was to support outdoor, place-based environmental education at the Cosumnes River Preserve in California by providing both funding and in-kind assistance. The program is tied to the long-running, multi-partner effort to protect, restore, and manage the Preserve, which totals about 46,000 acres and has been managed through a collaborative partnership since 1994, with BLM serving as the lead federal agency alongside seven landowning partners and other participants.
Funding for the opportunity was relatively focused and competitive, with an expectation of a single award. The estimated total funding available was $90,000, with the award ceiling set at $90,000 and an award floor of $500. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide matching funds to be considered. Because the instrument type was a cooperative agreement, award implementation would typically involve substantial federal involvement compared with a standard grant, often including coordination, technical input, or other active collaboration by the agency during project execution.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations holding 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. The activity category was Natural Resources, reflecting the intent to connect environmental education with conservation, habitat protection, and resource management goals at the Preserve. The announcement was posted and created on May 24, 2012, with an original and final closing date of June 25, 2012. The opportunity was later archived on October 2, 2016.
For applicants or interested parties needing the full announcement details, the listing referenced Grants.gov as the additional information source. The named contact for access issues was Leona B. Parker, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 530-252-5338 or via email at lparker@blm.gov.
