Opportunity Summary:

The Missouri River Breaks Interpretive Center Assistance in Montana grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00041) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement focused on supporting educational and interpretive work at the Upper Missouri River Breaks National Monument Interpretive Center (UMRBNM IC). The basic purpose was to increase public appreciation of the monument and encourage more public participation by strengthening the center's education and interpretation programs. In practical terms, this kind of support typically aligns with activities that help visitors and local communities better understand the monument's natural and cultural resources through outreach, learning opportunities, and interpretive materials or programming delivered through the interpretive center.

This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which generally means the BLM expected to be actively involved in the project during the period of performance (for example, coordinating on program content, ensuring alignment with monument goals, or collaborating on implementation). The funding activity category was Natural Resources, and it was tied to CFDA 15.224, Cultural Resource Management, signaling that the interpretive and educational work likely related not only to natural features but also to cultural, historical, and heritage resources associated with the monument and its broader landscape.

Funding for this announcement was small and very targeted: the estimated total funding was $6,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $6,000, indicating a single fixed-size award. The expected number of awards was one, so applicants were essentially competing for one project slot. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute their own funds to be eligible or competitive, although applicants sometimes still add partner contributions to strengthen the proposal.

Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to a wide range of applicant types (such as nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, tribal governments, local governments, or other entities), subject to any clarifications contained in the full announcement. The posting date and creation date were both February 18, 2014. The application deadline was March 15, 2014 (original and current closing dates were the same), and the opportunity was archived on April 1, 2014, reflecting that it is no longer open.

Applicants were directed to download full instructions and the application package via the announcement's application tab, and the point of contact for access issues was Brittney Linford, Contract Specialist with the BLM, reachable at 406-896-5188 or blinford@blm.gov.
