Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CA NEED San Joaquin River Gorge Hands on the Land Program (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00129) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement to support natural resource-focused education and interpretation at the San Joaquin River Gorge Special Recreation Management Area in Auberry, California. It is specifically structured as a continuation (follow-on) effort to an earlier agreement, L08AC14229, which was set to expire on September 30, 2013. The core purpose is to carry forward national BLM direction that emphasizes protection of natural and cultural resources while also delivering high-quality visitor experiences, using education as a key tool to meet both goals.
The project centers on partnering with National Energy Education Development (NEED) to continue developing and delivering hands-on educational and interpretive programs and products. These offerings are intended for K-12 schools as well as organized groups and the general public visiting or learning about the Gorge. In practical terms, the work is about maintaining and expanding engaging, field-based or activity-based learning opportunities that help participants understand local landscapes, ecosystems, cultural resources, and responsible recreation, while also supporting the broader BLM mission for stewardship and public enjoyment in a heavily visited recreation management area.
Funding for this opportunity was planned as a single award with an estimated total of $400,000, which is also the stated award ceiling, while the award floor is listed as $500. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The program is associated with CFDA 15.225, Recreation Resource Management, reflecting its alignment with recreation, resource stewardship, and visitor services.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted on July 18, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 5, 2013. The listing was later archived on October 1, 2019. Additional details were made available through Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access or announcement issues was Leona B.
