Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CA Headwaters Forest Reserve Community Stewardship Ed Program (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00119) is a discretionary Bureau of Land Management funding opportunity designed to build long-term community support for the Headwaters Forest Reserve in California and the broader National Conservation Lands mission. The central goal is to partner with a qualified nonprofit to establish and help launch a "Friends of Headwaters" group that can serve as a community-based hub for stewardship, public engagement, and on-the-ground support for the reserve. In practical terms, the partner organization would act as the organizer and coordinator that helps connect local residents, volunteers, and visitors with meaningful opportunities to learn about, enjoy, and care for the unique natural and recreation resources at Headwaters.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the BLM expects to remain actively involved during the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The work emphasized in the announcement includes recruiting, training, and coordinating volunteers; delivering environmental education; supporting recreation-related services and events; and broadly promoting conservation and stewardship. The intent is not only to expand what can be accomplished on the ground through volunteer and community participation, but also to cultivate a durable "friends group" model that continues to support Headwaters over time, strengthening public understanding and community investment in the site.
Funding for the opportunity is up to an estimated total of $100,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and an award floor of $500, and the BLM anticipated making one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which lowers the barrier for eligible nonprofits that may not have significant cash or in-kind match capacity. The assistance listing is under CFDA (now often referred to as Assistance Listing) number 15.225, Recreation Resource Management, aligning the project with public recreation, stewardship, and resource management activities.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity was originally posted on June 9, 2014, with a closing date of June 27, 2014, and it was later archived on December 31, 2018. Applicants seeking the full announcement and details were directed to Grants.gov via the provided link. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed contact was Leona B. Parker, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 530-252-5338 or via email at lparker@blm.gov.
