Opportunity Summary:
The Garnet Curriculum grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00118) was a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), focused on natural resources education under CFDA 15.225, Recreation Resource Management. The purpose of the funding was to support the development of a place-based curriculum that schools in Western Montana could use in connection with Garnet Ghost Town, a historic site managed by BLM. In practical terms, the project was meant to produce curriculum materials that help educators bring students to the site (or teach about it in the classroom) in a structured way that ties learning directly to the location, its history, and related natural and cultural resource themes.
The opportunity anticipated making a single award, with a total estimated funding amount of $20,000. However, the listed award ceiling and floor were both $5,000, indicating that the planned individual grant award amount was fixed at $5,000 even though the overall program estimate reflected a larger figure. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute additional non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive, unless other conditions were described in the full announcement.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of applicant entity (for example, nonprofits, educational institutions, tribal organizations, local governments, or other qualified organizations), subject to any further clarification that may have been included in the full announcement materials. The grant instrument type was a standard grant, and because it was categorized as discretionary, funding would have been awarded through a competitive selection process rather than by formula.
The notice was posted and created on June 26, 2013, with an application deadline (original and current closing date) of July 28, 2013. The opportunity was later archived on September 1, 2013. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement or application package, the listed contact was Lori Anderson, Grants Management Specialist at BLM, reachable at 406-896-5196 or landerso@blm.gov. The full instructions and application materials were provided through the announcement's application tab, with an additional information link directing applicants to download the complete package.
