Opportunity Summary:
The Jordan River Restoration Photograph Exhibit and Panel Discussions grant opportunity (titled "Reawakened Beauty: Tillman Crane's Jordan River Photographs") was a small, one-time discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to support a public outreach project in Salt Lake County, Utah. The core idea was to fund the production and public presentation of a photography exhibit focused on the Jordan River, paired with panel discussions, as a way to help residents see the river as an important natural resource and better understand ongoing restoration work.
The purpose of the award was explicitly educational and awareness-driven rather than construction or on-the-ground restoration. FWS wanted the exhibit to highlight the natural resource values of the Jordan River and to explain the agency's role in restoring river-related habitat and wildlife resources. The outreach effort was framed as a direct response to a documented problem: limited public awareness about the river's ecological value, which the agency viewed as one contributing factor to past damages to "trust" natural resources along the river corridor.
Funding for the project was tied to the Sharon Steel Natural Resource Damage Settlement, and the activity needed to align with the Sharon Steel Natural Resource Restoration Plan (USFWS, 1997). That restoration plan laid out how settlement funds should be used and specifically identified public awareness and community involvement in habitat restoration as meaningful ways to compensate for, or help restore, injured natural resources. In other words, the grant was meant to use art and public programming as a practical restoration-support tool by building understanding, interest, and participation among local audiences.
The opportunity was structured as a single expected award with total funding of $6,500, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $6,500, meaning the project was essentially fully defined to that amount. Cost sharing or matching was required, so the recipient would need to bring in additional funds from other donors or sources to complete the full scope of the exhibit and associated events. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any applicant type, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have appeared in the full announcement.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on November 12, 2009, with an original and current closing date of November 19, 2009, and an archive date of December 19, 2009. It was categorized under Environment and Natural Resources, offered as a grant, and listed under a placeholder CFDA number (00.000 Not Elsewhere Classified), which typically indicates the funding does not fit neatly into a single standard assistance program code.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the announcement, the listed point of contact was Chris Cline at the Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable by phone at 801-975-3330 x145 (an email address was referenced but not provided in the source text).
