Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR WA Illinois Valley Visitor Services grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00356) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding program aimed at strengthening visitor services and tourism support in the Illinois Valley of southwestern Oregon, within the Medford District. The core purpose was to improve how residents and visitors learn about and access recreation, culture, and natural resource experiences across the region, with an emphasis on services, facilities, and educational or interpretive programming that helps the public understand opportunities on both public and private lands. In practical terms, the grant was designed to back efforts like visitor information and orientation, interpretive materials or outreach, and on-the-ground improvements that make recreation and tourism more navigable and informative for people traveling through the Illinois Valley.
The award instrument was a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM anticipated active involvement with the recipient during the project rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant with minimal agency participation. The funding activity category was Natural Resources, and the opportunity was tied to CFDA 15.225 (Recreation Resource Management), reflecting BLMs recreation and visitor-use mission. Cost sharing or matching funds were not required, lowering the barrier for organizations that might not have substantial cash match available.
In terms of funding scale, the announcement listed an estimated total funding amount of $100,000 and expected a single award. At the same time, it specified a stated award floor of $1 and an award ceiling of $5,000, which suggests the opportunity may have supported a defined scope of smaller, targeted activities or that the notice contained figures that did not align cleanly across fields. Regardless, the program intent was clearly focused on enhancing visitor-facing services and educational support for tourism and recreation in the Illinois Valley.
Eligibility was technically unrestricted, meaning any entity type could apply, but the BLM indicated that it expected to make the award to a nonprofit organization located in the local Illinois Valley geographic area. That expectation points to a preference for organizations already embedded in the community and familiar with local visitor needs, local partnerships, and the regional tourism landscape.
The opportunity was posted on September 10, 2010, created on September 11, 2010, and closed on September 20, 2010, with the same date listed as both the original and current closing date. The listing later archived on September 10, 2011. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the contact listed was Walter Ullrey, Agreements Specialist at BLM, reachable by phone at 503-808-6230 or by email at wullrey@blm.gov. The announcement also referenced Grants.gov as the source for the full details.
