Opportunity Summary:
The Hanford Reach National Monument Heritage Museum Visitor Center (The Reach) funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00013) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.664, Fish and Wildlife Coordination and Assistance Programs. The purpose of the award is to support a formal partnership that will create an educational and cultural institution designed to function as the primary gateway for public engagement with the Hanford Reach National Monument and the Mid-Columbia River National Wildlife Refuge Complex. In practical terms, the project is aimed at establishing or advancing a visitor center and heritage museum presence that helps connect visitors to the landscape, its ecological significance, and its cultural and historical context, while also serving as a central access point for learning and orientation related to the broader refuge complex.
The opportunity was structured as a single, high-value award: the agency anticipated making 1 award with an estimated total funding amount of $2,468,865. Both the award ceiling and award floor were listed as $2,468,865, which typically indicates a fixed or specifically budgeted project amount rather than a range of potential award sizes. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is listed as Education, reflecting the emphasis on public education, interpretation, and outreach as core outcomes of the visitor center concept. The posting and creation date were November 6, 2012, with an original and current closing date of November 20, 2012, giving applicants a relatively short submission window.
Eligibility was limited to city or township governments, meaning the intended applicant pool was local municipal entities rather than nonprofits, universities, or individuals. The announcement also required cost sharing or matching, so the selected applicant would need to contribute non-federal funds or qualifying in-kind support to meet the match requirement described in the full announcement. This kind of requirement is commonly used to ensure local investment and long-term commitment to the facility and its programming, especially for capital-intensive visitor services and interpretive infrastructure.
For applicants or interested parties needing the full details, the announcement directed users to Grants.gov (Additional Information Link: http://www.grants.gov). Questions or requests for assistance accessing the announcement were routed to a specific contact at the Fish and Wildlife Service: Margaret Anderson, reachable at (208) 378-5299 or via email at MargaretMAnderson@fws.gov.
