Opportunity Summary:
The Public Land Pollinator Education and Outreach opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00171) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement focused on education and public awareness. The core aim was to fund a partner organization to produce science-based, high-quality informational materials that highlight pollinators found on BLM-managed public lands and explain practical actions people can take to support pollinator populations when using or managing those lands. The emphasis was on professional-grade products, described as high quality or award winning, suggesting BLM was looking for a group with proven capacity in science communication, graphic design, and interpretive or outreach product development.
The funded project was intended to create posters, brochures, and/or displays that feature a broad range of pollinating animals tied to public lands. The announcement specifically called out bees, birds, bats, and a variety of insects, including butterflies, moths, beetles, and other insects. The educational message was twofold: first, to increase public awareness that BLM public lands can play an important role in sustaining healthy pollinator populations; and second, to improve internal awareness within BLM about how pollinators support land health and ecological function. In practical terms, BLM wanted these materials to be usable in multiple settings: placed in BLM offices, shared at public meetings or events where the public is present, and distributed online via the web to broaden reach beyond in-person interactions.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning BLM likely anticipated a collaborative relationship with the recipient rather than a purely hands-off grant. The funding activity category was education, and the CFDA number was 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The estimated total funding available was $500,000, with an award ceiling of $500,000 and an award floor of $25,000, and BLM expected to make one award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowered the financial barrier for eligible applicants.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted on August 1, 2013, with an application deadline of September 3, 2013, and it was archived on October 3, 2013. The announcement directed applicants to Grants.gov for full details and application submission. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Lisa Clayton, Grants Management Officer, at 202-912-7098 or lisaclayton@blm.gov.
