Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "FA BLM AZ - Friends of the Agua Fria National Monument" (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00216) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cooperative agreement focused on building sustained public awareness and community support for the Agua Fria National Monument, a National Landscape Conservation System (NLCS) unit in Arizona. The core purpose is to fund a long-term, coordinated outreach and communications effort that helps the public better understand the monument's recreational value and the broader importance of protecting and preserving public lands for current and future generations. Rather than a short, one-off campaign, the announcement points to an extended initiative with enough scope to influence public perception, increase appreciation, and strengthen stewardship over time.
The project described emphasizes cross-jurisdictional outreach, meaning it is meant to engage audiences and partners across different boundaries and authorities, such as local communities, neighboring land managers, and other stakeholders whose actions and messaging affect how the monument is used and valued. The work is expected to involve communications and media planning, which can include developing outreach strategies, producing educational and promotional materials, working with traditional and digital media, and organizing efforts that broaden the monument's visibility. A notable theme is "full scale economic community appreciation" for recreation, suggesting the initiative should not only highlight outdoor opportunities but also connect those opportunities to local economic benefits in a way that is credible and community-focused, helping residents and visitors see conservation and recreation as assets that support livelihoods, tourism, and quality of life.
This opportunity falls under the Environment funding activity category and is offered as a discretionary award, with the funding instrument specified as a cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement generally indicates that BLM expects to remain actively involved in the project beyond simply providing funds, often collaborating on planning, implementation, or oversight. The total estimated funding is $100,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and an award floor of $1, and the agency anticipated making one award. The listing includes a challenge cost share requirement, meaning the recipient is expected to provide some level of cost sharing or matching contributions as part of the overall project resources.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted on August 2, 2012, created on August 24, 2012, with an original closing date of August 20, 2012, and a revised closing date of August 27, 2012. It was later archived on September 18, 2012. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.238. Additional details were available through Grants.gov at the time of posting, and the point of contact listed for applicants who had difficulty accessing the full announcement was Paul Stout, Grants Management Officer, at 602-417-9268 or pstout@blm.gov.
