Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is offering a small discretionary grant opportunity titled "Providing visitor services and interpretive materials in Northwest Colorado" (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00159). The purpose of the award is to enhance educational and interpretive services, materials, and programs that help the public better understand the natural and cultural resources found in Northwest Colorado. In practical terms, the project focus is on improving visitor-facing information and learning experiences tied to public lands, such as interpretive content, outreach, and on-the-ground visitor service support that increases awareness and appreciation of the area s resource values.
This opportunity will be issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work compared to a standard grant. The activity category is natural resources, and the CFDA program listed is 15.225, Recreation Resource Management. The announcement anticipates making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $12,500. The award ceiling is $12,500 and the award floor is $1,250, indicating the BLM is open to proposals that range from smaller, targeted deliverables to a full project up to the maximum amount available.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of award. The opportunity was posted on July 11, 2012, with both the original and current closing date listed as July 16, 2012, reflecting a very short application window and suggesting the agency may have been seeking a rapid, specific partner effort for that funding cycle.
Applicants were directed to the announcement application materials via the "Application" tab in the posting. For access issues or questions, the listed point of contact is Ruth A. Raisanen at the BLM, reachable at 303-239-3605 or rraisane@blm.gov.
