Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Hidden Cave Interpretive Tours, Churchill County" (Funding Opportunity Number L15AS00135) to partner with a recipient to provide interpretive tours of Hidden Cave for public and private schools and youth groups. The project falls under the Natural Resources activity category, with the CFDA listing 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management), reflecting a focus on education and interpretation tied to cultural and historic resources. The central purpose is to expand or support guided tour programming that connects youth audiences with the Hidden Cave site through structured, educational visits.
This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM expects substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing funds with minimal oversight. Only one award was anticipated. While the total estimated funding listed is $3,000, the published award range indicates a floor of $3,000 and a ceiling of $75,000, suggesting the final award amount could vary depending on the proposed scope and the terms negotiated under the cooperative agreement.
Eligibility was broadly open (unrestricted), indicating that a wide range of applicants could apply, such as nonprofits, educational organizations, tribes, local governments, institutions, and potentially private entities, as long as they met any conditions described in the full announcement. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applied. The notice specifically states the recipient is expected to provide match through the use of volunteer docents, implying that in-kind contributions like volunteer time supporting tours and interpretation could be used to satisfy the match requirement.
Key dates for the opportunity were: posted and created on May 27, 2015; closing date of July 27, 2015 (original and current); and an archive date of August 27, 2015. Applicants were directed to the announcement's application materials (via the "APPLICATION" tab in the original posting) for full instructions and the application package. For access issues or questions, the listed point of contact was Gretchen Eykelbosh, Grants and Agreements Specialist, at 775-861-6740 or geykelbosh@blm.gov.
