Opportunity Summary:
Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00088, titled "FA Interpretive Associations for the Tucson Field Office Arizona," is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant offered through a cooperative agreement mechanism. It falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is tied to CFDA number 15.225, Recreation Resource Management. The basic purpose of the opportunity is to support interpretive associations connected to the BLM Tucson Field Office in Arizona, with an emphasis on activities that benefit the public. While the published description is brief, the title and program context indicate the focus is on interpretation and public-facing education related to public lands managed by the Tucson Field Office, which commonly includes visitor information, educational materials, outreach, and other interpretive services that help the public understand, use, and appreciate BLM lands responsibly.
The opportunity anticipated making up to three awards, with an estimated total program funding level of $250,000. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) was listed as $250,000, and the minimum (award floor) was $1, which implies BLM had flexibility to fund one larger project or multiple smaller efforts depending on the proposals received and program needs. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility, though voluntary contributions or leveraged resources may still have been considered beneficial depending on the full announcement details.
Eligibility was described as "unrestricted," meaning the competition was open to any type of entity, subject to any clarifications that may have appeared in the full notice under "Additional Information on Eligibility." In practical terms, opportunities like this often attract nonprofit interpretive associations, friends groups, educational organizations, tribal entities, local governments, universities, and other partners capable of delivering public-benefit interpretation and visitor services in coordination with the field office. Because the instrument type is a cooperative agreement (rather than a standard grant), applicants should expect substantial involvement by BLM during project implementation, such as coordination on messaging, review of interpretive products, alignment with site management objectives, and collaboration on public outreach.
Key dates for the opportunity were as follows: it was posted on May 5, 2011, with the original and current closing date both set for June 6, 2011. The archive date was July 5, 2011, indicating the notice was no longer active after that point. Anyone seeking the full announcement at the time would have been directed to Grants.gov via the additional information link provided in the listing.
For applicant support or issues accessing the announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Paul Stout, Grants Management Specialist, reachable at 602-417-9268 or paulstout@blm.gov.
