Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Oregon/Washington office offered a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "BLM OR WA Willamette River Pasts and Futures Documentary Video Project" (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00276). The project was designed as a collaborative effort between BLM and a qualified nonprofit organization to develop documentary-style video products focused on Western Oregon's Willamette River watershed. The core intent was to produce a suite of videos that tells the story of the basin as both an ecological system and a place shaped by human history, highlighting major cultural and environmental changes over time and addressing the watershed's uncertain future.
The expected deliverables were multiple video products aimed at several audiences: conservation and natural resource groups, public television viewers (specifically PBS audiences), and students. The content direction emphasized combining an ecological portrait of the Willamette River basin (as a large, complex watershed) with accessible storytelling about how the landscape and river system have changed due to human use, management, and broader environmental pressures. In practical terms, the opportunity supported educational and public-outreach media that could inform public understanding and support conservation dialogue by linking natural history, cultural history, and current/future challenges in one coherent set of films.
The award structure was straightforward: BLM anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $10,000. The award ceiling and floor were both set at $10,000, meaning the project funding amount was fixed. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduced barriers for eligible nonprofits to apply. The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, signaling that BLM expected to be substantially involved in the project during performance (for example, through collaboration on content direction, coordination, or review), rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with active 501(c)(3) status recognized by the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity fell under the Natural Resources funding activity category and referenced CFDA number 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), reflecting its conservation education and resource management relevance.
