BLM CA The River Center Environmental Education | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The BLM CA The River Center Environmental Education opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM CA NOI 09 2010) is a discretionary federal grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior, administered through the Bureau of Land Management, to support public environmental education focused on natural resource issues in northeastern California. The project is centered on "The River Center" and is intended to help educate both the general public and student audiences by improving and expanding the center's interpretive and educational offerings. The core purpose is to translate local natural resource topics into clear, engaging information that visitors can understand, with an emphasis on outreach and learning through well-designed educational materials and experiences.

Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant. The opportunity anticipates a single award, with total estimated funding of $15,000. The award ceiling is $15,000 and the award floor is $600, indicating proposals could range from smaller targeted deliverables to a full project package up to the maximum amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to bring additional non-federal funds to be eligible, which can make the opportunity more accessible for smaller nonprofits.

The funded work is practical and deliverable-driven. The recipient would assist with projects that may include interpretive displays, exhibits, educational programs, and other public information materials. A key part of the scope is determining what information materials are most suitable to develop for the River Center, then supporting the development and fabrication of those materials or displays, and finally helping plan where and how they will be placed within the center. In other words, the project is not only about creating content, but also about choosing the right formats, producing them to a usable standard, and integrating them into the physical space so they actually function as effective educational tools for visitors.

Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (specifically excluding institutions of higher education). The announcement also indicates the recipient must be a nonprofit organization. The program is categorized under CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, and falls within the natural resources funding activity category. This classification signals that the educational materials and displays should connect back to resource stewardship themes such as conservation, habitat, species, waterways, land management, and related public-land issues relevant to northeastern California.

Timing information shows the opportunity was posted and created on July 28, 2009, with an original and current closing date of August 14, 2009, and an archive date of August 20, 2009. While those dates indicate the specific notice is historical, the summary still reflects the project intent and structure: a small, focused cooperative agreement supporting interpretive and educational infrastructure at a visitor or education center. For applicants or researchers looking for further documentation, the notice provides a contact for access issues: Leona B. Parker at lparker@blm.gov.
