Opportunity Summary:

The funding opportunity titled "FA BLM AZ Interpretive Association for the AZ Strip District" (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00045) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It is focused on natural resources and is specifically categorized under CFDA 15.225, Recreation Resource Management. The purpose of the opportunity is to establish a new five-year cooperative agreement for an interpretive association serving the Arizona Strip District. In practical terms, this type of agreement typically supports public-facing interpretation and visitor information services connected to BLM-managed lands, such as educational materials, interpretive programming, visitor outreach, and related services that help the public understand local resources, recreation opportunities, and stewardship messages.

The award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means there is an expectation of substantial involvement by BLM during the project period compared with a standard grant. While the posting does not spell out project tasks in detail in the provided text, the central objective is clear: creating or continuing an interpretive association arrangement for the Arizona Strip District over a five-year period. The opportunity anticipates making up to three awards. The total estimated funding is $250,000, and the maximum award amount (award ceiling) is also $250,000, indicating that a single project could potentially receive up to the full amount depending on how BLM allocates funds across the anticipated awards. The minimum award amount (award floor) is listed as $1, which is often used in listings as a technical placeholder rather than a realistic project size.

Eligibility is listed as "unrestricted," meaning it is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional conditions that may be described in the full announcement on Grants.gov. The listing indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would not be required to provide a non-federal match as a condition of receiving funding, although voluntary contributions may still be allowed or viewed favorably depending on the full solicitation language.

Key dates for this opportunity show it was posted and created on March 14, 2011, with an original and current application closing date of April 15, 2011. The opportunity was archived on May 15, 2011, which generally means it is no longer accepting applications and is retained for reference in the Grants.gov system.

For applicants or interested parties who needed help accessing the full announcement, the designated point of contact was Paul Stout, Grants Management Officer at BLM. The contact phone number provided is 602-417-9268 and the email is paulstout@blm.gov.
