Opportunity Summary:

The Educational Materials Development Project, Alaska (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00287) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement to support the creation of educational and interpretive materials for public use. The central aim is to help young people and their families visit, explore, and learn about public lands in Alaska, while also encouraging youth involvement in natural and cultural resource management and promoting long-term stewardship of public land resources. In practical terms, the project focuses on developing materials that make public lands more engaging, understandable, and relevant to youth and family audiences, with an emphasis on both education and interpretation (helping visitors connect meaningfully with places, resources, and management goals).

The opportunity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.225, Recreation Resource Management. BLM anticipated making one award under this announcement. The estimated total funding available was $100,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and a minimum award floor of $20,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award.

Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, indicating the opportunity was broadly open to many types of applicants, subject to any clarifications that may have been included in the full announcement under the eligibility section. Because the instrument type is a cooperative agreement, recipients should generally expect a more collaborative relationship with the agency than a typical grant, with BLM likely having substantial involvement in project coordination, review, or development decisions tied to the deliverables.
