Opportunity Summary:

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) issued a discretionary funding opportunity titled "BLM CO GOLD BELT TOUR NATIONAL SCENIC BYWAY MANAGEMENT" (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00191) to support management and visitor-focused improvements along the Gold Belt Tour Scenic and Historic Byway in Colorado. The core purpose of the award is to promote the development of practical educational and interpretive materials that help the public better understand and appreciate the byway's natural, cultural, historic, and recreational resources. In other words, the project is centered on creating or improving content that informs visitors and enhances interpretation of the area, such as educational products, interpretive messaging, and related materials tied directly to the Gold Belt Byway.

This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM anticipated substantial involvement in the project rather than simply providing a pass-through grant with minimal agency participation. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA program number is 15.225 (Recreation Resource Management), which aligns with projects that improve recreation-related planning, interpretation, and public engagement on public lands.

BLM expected to make one award under this announcement. The estimated total funding amount was $95,000, with an award ceiling of $95,000 and a minimum (floor) of $23,750. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, so applicants were not obligated to provide a non-federal match as a condition of receiving an award.

Eligibility was narrowly defined. The eligible applicant identified in the announcement is the Gold Belt Tour Scenic and Historic Byway Association, indicating the opportunity was effectively targeted to that entity rather than broadly competed among typical applicant pools. The listing notes "Others" with a clarification to see additional eligibility information, but the explicit eligibility statement names the Byway Association as the intended applicant organization.

Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on July 3, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 18, 2014. The listing was archived on August 15, 2014. Applicants needing the full instructions were directed to download the complete announcement under the application materials, and the grants management contact provided was Yvonne Pier, Grants Management Officer, at ypier@blm.gov.
