Opportunity Summary:
The Eastern Idaho Visitor Information Center grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L16AS00215) was a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Issued on June 29, 2016, with an original closing date of August 29, 2016, it was designed to support the establishment or operation of a visitor information center that would serve as a centralized, one-stop location for informational materials. The core purpose was to improve access to travel and local-area information for two main audiences: residents in the Greater Idaho Falls area and visitors traveling through eastern Idaho.
Funding under this opportunity was provided through a cooperative agreement, meaning the project would likely involve a more collaborative relationship with the federal agency than a typical grant, with BLM potentially playing an active role during the project period (for example, coordinating on deliverables, content, or program goals). The opportunity was categorized under Natural Resources and tied to CFDA number 15.225, which generally relates to BLM assistance programs.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, indicating that any type of applicant could potentially apply, subject to any additional eligibility details that might have been included in the full announcement. The funding structure reflected a small, targeted award: the maximum award amount (award ceiling) was $17,000, and the agency anticipated making one award. Overall, the opportunity focused on strengthening public access to reliable visitor information and helping connect people traveling through the region with resources, services, and destination guidance across eastern Idaho.
