Opportunity Summary:

The BLM OR WA West Eugene Wetlands Environmental Education and Outreach Program (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00308) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant designed to support environmental education experiences for youth and families in the West Eugene Wetlands area of Oregon. The central goal is to help participants build a real connection to the natural world through practical, field-based learning that combines "hands on, minds on" activities with outdoor programs and field classroom experiences. The program is structured to provide academic and experiential learning that helps young people and families better understand natural resource management, land stewardship, and the broader objectives that guide how public lands and sensitive wetland ecosystems are cared for and managed.

This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates a closer working relationship between the award recipient and the agency than a standard grant. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and it is associated with CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) 15.224, Cultural Resource Management, as listed in the source information. The opportunity anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $250,000. The posted award ceiling and floor were listed as $3,000 and $1, respectively, though that ceiling appears inconsistent with the stated estimated total funding and may reflect a data-entry or system-record detail rather than the practical project budget; applicants would typically be expected to rely on the full announcement instructions for the controlling figures and budget expectations.

Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide matching funds to be considered. The opportunity was posted on August 18, 2014, with an application deadline of September 8, 2014, and it was later archived on August 17, 2015. For full application instructions and required forms, applicants were directed to download the complete announcement and application package from the application tab associated with the posting.

For administrative or technical issues accessing the announcement, the listed point of contact was Sheri Dowley, Grants Management Specialist at BLM, reachable by phone at 503-808-6243 or by email at sdowley@blm.gov.
