Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Reclamation grant opportunity titled "Increasing Public Awareness of Recreational Opportunities at Reclamation Reservoirs for Children with Disabilities or Children who Experience Disadvantages in Their Lives" is a discretionary funding announcement (Funding Opportunity Number R15AC00007) describing the agency's intent to make a single cooperative agreement award. The purpose is to support project activities that increase public awareness of recreation opportunities at Reclamation-managed reservoirs, with a specific focus on children with disabilities and children who face disadvantages in their lives. The program is associated with CFDA 15.550 and is categorized under Humanities (with a reference to Cultural Affairs), which signals that the work is oriented toward outreach, public engagement, and awareness-building rather than construction-heavy infrastructure.
This notice is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notification that Reclamation intends to fund the described activities without full and open competition, meaning the agency is planning a non-competitive award rather than running a standard competitive grant process. The eligibility field reflects this approach by listing "Others" and directing readers to additional eligibility information for clarification, but the overall message is that the funding decision is being announced rather than solicited.
The anticipated funding is fixed and straightforward: Reclamation expects to make one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $625,000. The award floor and ceiling are both $625,000, indicating the agency planned a single award at that exact amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
Key administrative dates show the announcement was posted and created on December 31, 2014, with an original and current closing date of January 14, 2015, and an archive date of February 13, 2015. While a "closing date" is listed, in this context it functions more as an administrative window tied to the public notice rather than an invitation for competing proposals, since the announcement states it is not requesting applications.
For additional details, Reclamation points readers to its website at www.usbr.gov. The contact person listed for access issues with the full announcement is Shaun Wilken, a Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-445-3697 or by email at swilken@usbr.gov.
