Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Enhance recreation management throughout the Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area (AHRA), in the State of Colorado" (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00270), was offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) as a discretionary cooperative agreement. The overall purpose of the funding was to strengthen recreation management on BLM-managed public lands within the Upper Arkansas Valley, specifically within or connected to the Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area. The announcement emphasizes improving the public's recreation experiences and the benefits people gain from using these lands, with support aimed at practical, on-the-ground recreation management needs.
The work described in the opportunity focuses on several core areas that collectively support a better visitor experience and more effective management. These areas include developing and delivering recreation programs, conducting monitoring related to recreation use and conditions, and carrying out marketing or outreach efforts that help inform the public and guide responsible use. The opportunity also highlights facilities and accessibility, suggesting that projects could involve maintaining or improving recreation-related infrastructure (such as access points, signs, amenities, or other visitor-use facilities) and addressing barriers that limit access for certain users. In plain terms, the funding was meant to help keep recreation opportunities functional, safe, well-communicated, and inclusive across heavily used BLM recreation corridors in the Upper Arkansas Valley.
Financially, the opportunity anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $90,000. The award ceiling was $90,000, meaning the maximum expected award aligned with the total available funding, while the award floor was listed as $1,200, indicating smaller proposals could have been considered depending on project scope and fit. The listing states there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award, although cooperative agreements commonly involve substantial collaboration with the agency during project implementation.
Eligibility was described as "unrestricted," meaning it was broadly open to many types of applicants, subject to any additional eligibility details that may have been included in the full announcement package. The program was associated with CFDA number 15.225, Recreation Resource Management, and the activity category was explained as Recreation Management. The competitive window for applying was short: the opportunity was posted on September 12, 2011, with an original closing date of September 19, 2011, later extended to September 22, 2011. The record indicates the opportunity was archived on October 21, 2011.
For applicants needing full instructions and forms, the announcement directed them to download the application package via the "Application" tab in the original posting. A point of contact was provided for access or technical issues: Ruth A. Raisanen at the BLM, with phone number 303-239-3605 and email rraisane@blm.gov.
