Opportunity Summary:
The Moffat County Tourism Association Visitor Information Center in Colorado grant (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00155) is a small discretionary funding opportunity from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) offered through a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity area (CFDA 15.225, Recreation Resource Management). The purpose of the award is to support public-facing visitor information services in Moffat County, Colorado, specifically by creating and providing materials such as brochures and hands-on, interactive displays. These materials are meant to serve as a practical way to share information with residents and visitors about recreation opportunities available on public lands in and around Moffat County, helping people understand what they can do, where they can go, and how to recreate responsibly.
Funding is limited and structured as a single expected award, with an estimated total of $5,000. The award ceiling is $5,000 and the award floor is $1,500, indicating the BLM anticipated modest, targeted projects rather than large-scale buildouts. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which means applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. Because the instrument type is a cooperative agreement, the project would typically involve a more collaborative relationship with the BLM than a standard grant, often implying some level of federal involvement or coordination during the project period (for example, alignment on messaging, accuracy of public land information, or coordination on distribution and display content).
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). This positions the opportunity for local or regional nonprofit entities that are already engaged in tourism promotion, visitor services, outdoor recreation education, or community information programs, and that can manage the development and dissemination of recreation information resources. The emphasis in the description is on dissemination and visitor education tools, which could reasonably include printed maps and safety information, informational kiosks, interpretive or orientation displays, and other interactive components designed to help the public navigate recreational options on BLM-managed and other public lands in the county.
Key timeline details show the opportunity was originally posted July 6, 2012, with an original closing date of July 25, 2012, later extended to a current closing date of September 12, 2012. The listing was archived October 12, 2012. The full announcement and application instructions were provided through the opportunity posting (referenced via the application tab in the original listing).
