Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CA Trinidad Museum Society Interpretation, Education and Outreach grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00172) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary funding program offered through a cooperative agreement to support public interpretation, education, and outreach tied to coastal natural and cultural resources around Trinidad, California. The core purpose is to fund on-the-ground work at the Trinidad Museum and the nearby community gateway area, with an emphasis on creating and delivering visitor-facing materials and programs that help people understand, appreciate, and responsibly interact with local coastal environments and heritage resources.
The project scope centers on developing interpretive displays and educational programming that explain a wide range of themes connected to the California Coastal National Monument (CCNM) and surrounding coastal resources. Topics specifically called out include marine mammals, seabirds, tide pools, and coastal flora, along with Native American history and Euro-American history in the Trinidad area. In addition to natural history and cultural history, the opportunity explicitly includes interpretation related to management of the CCNM and other nearby coastal resources, meaning the work is intended to help the public understand not just what exists in the landscape, but how and why these places are stewarded, regulated, and protected.
A key requirement woven throughout the interpretation and outreach work is the incorporation of use ethics messaging. In practical terms, the displays and programs are expected to promote respectful behavior and encourage protection of monument and coastal resources, such as responsible wildlife viewing, tide pool etiquette, minimizing disturbance, and other stewardship-oriented guidance appropriate for public audiences. The funded work is described as including the staff, personnel, equipment, and materials needed to complete mutually agreed upon projects under the cooperative agreement, which typically implies ongoing coordination with the agency during development and delivery rather than a simple one-time deliverable.
Funding is set at an estimated total of $100,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and an award floor of $500, and the Bureau of Land Management anticipated making one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which means applicants were not required to contribute a non-federal match as a condition of the award. The assistance listing (CFDA) number is 15.225, categorized under Recreation Resource Management, and the funding activity category is Natural Resources, reflecting the opportunitys focus on public engagement tied to conservation and recreation-related resource stewardship.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The opportunity was posted on August 1, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 16, 2013, and it was later archived on October 1, 2019. Applicants or interested parties were directed to the full announcement on Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Leona B. Parker (Grants Management Officer) at 530-252-5338 or lparker@blm.gov.
