Opportunity Summary:
The Cultural Resources Education and Public Outreach In Idaho grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00322) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding program designed to strengthen how prehistoric and historic resources on public lands in Idaho are fostered, protected, managed, and understood by the public. At its core, the opportunity focuses on cultural heritage and archaeology, with an emphasis on practical projects that both safeguard resources and improve public knowledge of why these places, sites, and materials matter. The program is framed around education and outreach as key tools for long-term stewardship, encouraging efforts that increase awareness of Idaho's cultural history and archaeological resources located on lands managed by the BLM.
This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the BLM expects to be actively involved with the recipient during the project rather than simply providing a hands-off grant. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, reflecting the BLM's management role and the connection between land stewardship and cultural resource preservation. The posting dates indicate this was a time-limited funding round originally announced on August 26, 2010, created in the system on September 10, 2010, and closed on September 15, 2010, with the opportunity later archived on August 26, 2011.
In terms of funding scale, the estimated total funding available is $37,500, with the program expecting to make one award. Individual project awards were anticipated to fall between an award floor of $2,000 and an award ceiling of $7,500. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.238, which ties the listing to the broader federal assistance cataloging system used for tracking and reporting.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity was broadly open to applicants of any entity type, assuming they met any conditions described in the full announcement. While the summary field indicates "Cost Sharing or Matching Requirement: No," the detailed eligibility information clarifies that cost share is in fact expected: non-federal partners were anticipated to match BLM Challenge Cost Share (CCS) funds at approximately a 1:1 level. If multiple non-federal partners were involved in a single project, their combined contributions could be used to meet the overall 1:1 match goal. Similarly, if multiple projects were funded with the same partner in a fiscal year, the match expectation would apply to the total of those cooperative projects for that year.
The opportunity also outlines flexible ways to meet the non-federal match requirement. Matching contributions could include cash, in-kind goods, services, labor, or project materials. Where volunteers are part of the match, the announcement directs applicants to calculate the value of volunteer time using the Independent Sector rates (www.independentsector.org). For other in-kind contributions, applicants were instructed to use appropriate local valuation methods, such as local rates for equipment and operator time, equipment use, or professional salaries (for example, professor time contributed to the project). Applicants were expected to explain the match approach in the project proposal and to list match details in the budget attachment, making the match a documented and auditable part of the application package.
