Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced a discretionary funding opportunity through its Nevada Winnemucca District Office titled "BLM NV Winnemucca District Office Cooperative Management and Implementation of Environmental Education and Interpretive Projects" (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00096). The program is designed to partner with an outside organization to help manage and carry out environmental education and interpretive projects, and to support on-the-ground conservation and resource protection work. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at organizations that can help BLM deliver public-facing education and interpretation (such as outreach, learning programs, or interpretive materials) while also assisting with projects that protect natural and cultural resources on public lands.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during project execution, such as collaboration on planning, coordination, and implementation. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA program number listed is 15.225 (Recreation Resource Management), signaling a focus tied to recreation, public engagement, and stewardship of BLM-managed lands. The announcement anticipated making about five awards. The estimated total funding available was $100,000, and the award floor was also listed as $100,000, meaning awards were expected to be at least that amount. The notice also lists an award ceiling of $850,000, indicating the maximum possible award size under the opportunity, even though the total estimated funding figure suggests the actual amount available for this posting may have been limited.
The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can lower barriers to participation for applicants that may not have non-federal funds available. Eligibility was broad and included many entity types: nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) organizations as well as nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), institutions of higher education (public and private), state, county, city/township, and special district governments, independent school districts, federally recognized and other Native American tribal governments and organizations, small businesses, other for-profit organizations, and individuals. This wide eligibility suggests BLM was open to a range of partners, from educational institutions and community groups to government entities and private-sector organizations, as long as they could effectively deliver the required education, interpretation, conservation, and resource protection outcomes.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on May 13, 2011, with an original and final application deadline of May 27, 2011. The opportunity was later archived on June 27, 2011. Applicants were directed to download full instructions and the application package via the announcement's application materials. For help accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed contact was Gretchen W. Eykelbosh, Grants and Agreements Specialist, reachable at 775-861-6740 and by email at gretcheneykelbosh@blm.gov (also listed as geykelbosh@blm.gov).
