Opportunity Summary:
The "El Mirage Visitor Center Interpretive" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00199) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under the education funding activity category. The purpose of the award was to support interpretive and educational services at the El Mirage Visitor Center, with an emphasis on helping the public better understand and appreciate BLM's role in managing public lands. That includes communicating information about natural resources, cultural resources, and recreational resources, along with how BLM balances public access and enjoyment with long-term stewardship and protection.
The work described centers on delivering interpretation and education to visitors and the broader public, and it specifically includes the sales and production of interpretive and educational materials. In practical terms, this typically means developing and distributing items such as brochures, maps, visitor guides, interpretive panels, educational handouts, curriculum-style materials, and other resources that can be used on-site and taken home. It also implies staffing or programming support tied to interpretation, such as visitor contact services, educational events, guided talks, demonstrations, or other outreach activities that increase visitor knowledge and promote responsible recreation while highlighting the area's natural and cultural significance.
The opportunity anticipated a single award, with total estimated funding of $250,000. Both the award ceiling and floor were listed at $250,000, which indicates the agency expected to make one fixed-size award at that amount rather than multiple awards or a range of possible funding levels. No cost sharing or matching requirement was identified, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The posting date and creation date were August 2, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 9, 2011, and the opportunity was archived on August 31, 2011. Additional details were made available through Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues or assistance was Andralee Holden Hughes, Grants and Agreements Specialist, reachable at 951-697-5254 and via email at jholden@blm.gov (also listed as judyholden_hughes@ca.blm.gov).
