Opportunity Summary:
The Empire Ranch Preservation, Interpretation, and Education grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: BLM AZ NOI 09 1044) is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior under the Bureau of Land Management's Challenge Cost Share program (CFDA 15.238). The purpose of this opportunity is to support the Empire Ranch Foundation's work at the Empire Ranch by helping fund projects that focus on public education, historic preservation, and interpretive efforts. In practical terms, the grant is meant to strengthen programs and projects that help the public understand the site's cultural and historical significance while also supporting hands-on preservation and interpretation activities connected to the ranch.
The funding instrument for this opportunity is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work compared with a standard grant. The activity category is Natural Resources, reflecting the public lands and resource stewardship context in which the ranch operates. The opportunity anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a minimum (floor) of $10,000 up to a maximum (ceiling) of $100,000. The notice indicates there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would not be required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, specifically excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted on May 1, 2009, and had an original and final application deadline of May 15, 2009. The archive date was June 14, 2009, meaning it is no longer active and was retained for recordkeeping and reference purposes.
