Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR WA Project Coordination of the National Online Geotourism Atlas Project (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00238) is a discretionary Bureau of Land Management funding opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement in the natural resources and recreation resource management area (CFDA 15.225). The core purpose is to support coordination work for the National Public Lands Online Geotourism Atlas Project, a formal collaboration among multiple federal agencies and nonprofit partners that are jointly planning, funding, developing, and implementing a nationwide online geotourism tool focused on public lands.
At the center of the opportunity is the role of a Project Coordinator. The coordinator is expected to help move the coalition's work forward by organizing and aligning partners and project elements so the atlas can be developed and delivered as an effective public-facing resource. The envisioned product is an online geotourism atlas that does more than simply list destinations. It is meant to help the public discover and plan visits to public lands while also building understanding of why those lands matter, what resources are being protected, and how visitors can recreate responsibly. The emphasis is on education and skill-building for sustainable outdoor use, along with strengthening conservation ethics so that increased recreation interest does not translate into increased impacts on sensitive natural and cultural resources.
The announcement anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The estimated total funding available is about $88,000, with an award ceiling of $95,000 and a nominal award floor of $1. Cost sharing or matching is not required, which lowers the barrier for participation and suggests the agency is primarily looking for the right partner capacity and alignment with the coalition rather than requiring outside financial leverage.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity can apply in principle. However, the notice also clarifies that the agency anticipates making the award to an organization already working with the National Geotourism Atlas Project Coalition. In practical terms, that points to a strong preference for an applicant that is already integrated into the partnership network, understands the project history and goals, and can step into coordination responsibilities quickly with minimal ramp-up time.
Key administrative details reflect that this was a time-limited 2010 solicitation. The opportunity was posted and created on August 2, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 13, 2010, and it was later archived on August 2, 2011. Additional information was made available through Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Pamella Sterling, Grants Management Officer at the BLM (503-808-6221, pamsterling@blm.gov).
