Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Public Outreach and Education" (Funding Opportunity Number R11AS20009), is a discretionary cooperative agreement issued by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, Mid-Pacific Region, under CFDA 15.512 (Central Valley Project Improvement Act, Title XXXIV). The Bureau of Reclamation states its intent to award a single agreement, with an estimated total funding amount of $507,000, to the Trinity County Resource Conservation District. The legal authority cited for the award comes from Public Law 102-575, specifically Sections 3406(b)(1) and 3407(e), which support restoration-related actions connected to the Central Valley Project Improvement Act.
The purpose of the funding is to carry out public outreach and education activities that increase public understanding of river restoration work and improve the chances that restoration efforts will be successful, accepted, and supported by the broader community. The work is tied to the Trinity River Restoration Program (TRRP) and is aimed at ensuring that a wide range of stakeholders have clear, accessible information about what restoration projects are doing and why they matter.
The target audiences include local residents, landowners, business owners, schools, elected officials, recreational visitors, and other interested parties. Planned activities focus on communication and engagement tools such as preparing, printing, and distributing newsletters; producing TRRP brochures and related informational documents; sponsoring river conservation and education events or activities; and creating public-facing displays such as interpretive signs. The messaging emphasis is on explaining how TRRP projects benefit fish populations, wildlife habitat, recreation opportunities, and the community overall.
This announcement is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award, not a competitive solicitation. In practical terms, it is not asking for proposals from other organizations, and the government notes that the decision not to compete the award is at its discretion under Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(1) and (4). Although the listing includes broad categories of eligible applicants (such as local and state governments, federally recognized tribes, special districts, and individuals), the eligibility note clarifies that this specific requirement is posted as an intent to award to the Trinity County Resource Conservation District.
Key administrative details include a posted and created date of March 17, 2011, with a closing date of March 31, 2011, and an archive date of April 1, 2011. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as $0, which typically indicates the total estimated amount is provided, but specific minimum or maximum award bounds were not set in those fields. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated.
For questions, the designated contact is Judy A. Hudson, Grants Management Specialist/Grants Officer, reachable at jhudson@usbr.gov or by phone at (916) 978-5058.
