Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) offered a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Gunnison High School Outdoor Education Classes in Gunnison Colorado" (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00118) to support a cooperative partnership with Gunnison High School aimed at delivering outdoor education and recreation programming for youth. The core purpose of the grant is to use a formal partnership arrangement to create or strengthen outdoor learning experiences that connect students with natural resources and public lands, aligning with the program focus area of Recreation Resource Management (CFDA 15.225). In practical terms, the project is centered on youth-focused outdoor education that can include recreation-based learning, exposure to responsible public-land use, and activities that build skills and stewardship values.
This opportunity was structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during project implementation. The expected number of awards was one, meaning the BLM anticipated selecting a single recipient to carry out the project. The estimated total funding available was $100,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and an award floor of $2,500. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive, although applicants sometimes still choose to contribute in-kind support or partner resources depending on program design.
Eligibility was limited to independent school districts, making this a targeted education-focused opportunity rather than an open competition for nonprofits or higher education institutions. The opportunity was posted on June 8, 2012, created on June 22, 2012, and originally closed on June 22, 2012, with the current closing date listed as June 29, 2012. The archive date was July 30, 2012, indicating the listing was later moved out of active status after the application window ended. Applicants were directed to the full announcement and application package through the "Application" tab in the original posting, which would have contained the detailed instructions, required forms, and any program-specific expectations such as project scope, deliverables, reporting, and budget rules.
For assistance with accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Ruth A. Raisanen at the BLM, reachable by phone at 303-239-3605 and by email at rraisane@blm.gov.
