Opportunity Summary:
The "BLM CA Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00068) is a discretionary federal funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It is designed to support the improvement, management, and day-to-day operation of the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail (PCNST) in California and Oregon through a formal partnership with the Pacific Crest Trail Association (PCTA). The basic intent is to keep the PCNST functioning as a single, continuous long-distance trail system and to ensure that work carried out along the trail aligns with established federal planning direction, including the PCNST Comprehensive Management Plan as well as relevant Forest Service and BLM land and resource management plans.
Funding is offered through a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means BLM expects substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The announcement anticipates making up to two awards, with total estimated funding of $650,000. Individual awards are expected to fall between $500,000 (award floor) and $650,000 (award ceiling). The program does not require cost sharing or matching, which can make participation more accessible for eligible nonprofit organizations that may not have the ability to provide significant non-federal contributions.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. While the short description emphasizes partnership with the PCTA, the eligibility language indicates the target applicant type is nonprofit charitable organizations, consistent with the PCTA's longstanding role. The announcement highlights that for more than 20 years the PCTA has served as the principal nongovernmental organization helping coordinate management and operations of the PCNST, suggesting continuity of stewardship activities such as trail maintenance coordination, volunteer engagement, corridor and resource protection support, and other operational functions typically required to manage a major national scenic trail across multiple jurisdictions.
The opportunity falls under CFDA number 15.225 (Recreation Resource Management) and is categorized under Natural Resources. The posting date and creation date were April 17, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 17, 2012. The opportunity was later archived on September 30, 2016. Additional details and the full announcement were made available through Grants.gov at the time of posting.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Leona B. Parker, Grants Management Officer, reachable at (530) 252-5338 or via email at lparker@blm.gov.
