Opportunity Summary:
The New Mexico Public Lands Information and Education Project (Funding Opportunity Number: BLM NM NOI 09 1030) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, administered through the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), focused on improving how the public receives clear, consistent, and timely information about using public and federal lands in New Mexico. The core purpose is public outreach and education that supports authorized uses of these lands, helping residents and visitors better understand where recreation is allowed, what rules apply, and how to access up-to-date guidance on issues like fire conditions and resource management. The program is positioned as an interagency information effort, meaning it is meant to deliver accurate regulatory and management information that reflects coordination among relevant land management partners rather than presenting a single-agency perspective.
A central piece of the project is the operation of an information center located at the BLM New Mexico State Office in Santa Fe. In practical terms, this implies staffing and maintaining a public-facing point of contact where people can get reliable answers, materials, and direction related to recreation opportunities, land use rules, permits or closures, and related public land topics. Alongside the physical information center, the project also requires a 24/7 website intended to provide around-the-clock access to key information. The website component signals an expectation that the recipient will maintain current content that can quickly reflect changing conditions such as wildfire restrictions, seasonal closures, recreation advisories, and other management actions that affect public access and compliance.
Beyond the information center and website, the announcement allows for additional projects and activities that are identified as useful for delivering timely and accurate interagency information related to recreation, fire, and resource management, including associated regulatory details. This broader wording creates room for outreach tools such as printed guides, maps and kiosks, educational campaigns, community presentations, partnerships with local organizations, or improved information distribution methods, as long as they support the main goal of helping the public understand and follow authorized uses on public lands. The emphasis throughout is on practical, service-oriented communication: making it easier for the public to find correct information and reducing confusion about what is allowed, where, and under what conditions.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, coordinating messaging, aligning information with current policies, and working together on deliverables). The funding activity category is listed as Community Development, and the CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.225, Recreation Resource Management, reflecting its focus on recreation-related public services and land stewardship information rather than infrastructure construction or research.
The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1). Total estimated funding for the opportunity was $625,000, with an award ceiling of $125,000 and an award floor of $60,000, indicating the likely size range of an individual award under this announcement. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The notice was posted and created on June 30, 2009, with an original and current closing date of July 14, 2009, and it was archived on August 13, 2009. Additional details and the full announcement were available through Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Janet Y. Huff (jhuff@blm.gov and janethuff@blm.gov).
