Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CA EL CENTRO CULTURAL INTERNS opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM CA 09 NOI 5001) is a discretionary Department of the Interior program administered through the Bureau of Land Management that supports a project focused on both resource stewardship and workforce development. The core purpose is to provide protection and interpretation of natural and cultural resources, while also creating career development opportunities through an intern-focused approach. In practical terms, the funding is meant to help an eligible organization place and support interns who can assist with activities that safeguard sensitive resources and help the public understand and appreciate them through interpretation, education, and outreach tied to BLM-managed lands and related cultural sites.
Funding is offered via a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to be substantially involved during the project period rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the opportunity anticipates a single award. The total estimated funding is $100,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and an award floor of $20,000, indicating the project could be funded at varying scales depending on the proposal and budget. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies under a challenge cost share structure, so the recipient must contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or eligible in-kind support) as part of the overall project cost.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The listing is associated with CFDA number 15.238. The opportunity was posted and created on August 14, 2009, with an original and current closing date of August 21, 2009, and it was archived on August 26, 2009, reflecting a short application window typical of some localized or time-sensitive cooperative agreement solicitations.
