Opportunity Summary:
The Puget Sound Outreach, Education, and Stewardship Program is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 10 funding opportunity designed to support the protection and restoration of Puget Sound by strengthening public-facing work such as outreach, education, and stewardship. The grant is intended to help advance implementation of the Puget Sound 2020 Action Agenda by building a coordinated program that engages communities, increases awareness, and turns that awareness into practical actions that benefit the Sound. EPA is looking for one lead applicant, which can be a single organization or a consortium, to develop, implement, lead, and administer an innovative region-wide program rather than funding multiple separate recipients.
Funding is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning EPA expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out (for example, coordinating priorities, reviewing deliverables, or helping align work with federal and regional restoration goals). The opportunity is listed under CFDA 66.122 (Puget Sound Action Agenda Outreach, Education and Stewardship Support Program). EPA anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $6,000,000. The announcement also notes that cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants should be prepared to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or eligible in-kind support) consistent with the requirements described in the full notice.
The program scope emphasizes coordinated, Sound-wide efforts rather than isolated projects. While the announcement summary does not list specific project tasks in detail, the core expectation is that the selected entity will design and run a comprehensive outreach, education, and stewardship program that supports restoration outcomes. In practice, this typically includes developing strategy and messaging aligned with the Action Agenda, creating and delivering educational materials or campaigns, organizing stewardship opportunities, engaging partners and communities, and administering the program in a way that keeps activities integrated and accountable across the region. The notice also flags that grant activities may involve the collection of geospatial information, which suggests mapping, spatial datasets, or location-based tracking could be part of project planning, reporting, or measuring stewardship and outreach impacts.
Eligibility is described broadly as "Others" with further clarification in the full announcement, and applicants are directed to Section III for the complete eligibility requirements. Because EPA is seeking a single entity or consortium, competitive proposals would likely demonstrate the capacity to manage a large regional program, coordinate across many partners, handle subawards or partner agreements if needed, and track performance in a way that clearly connects outreach and education work to measurable stewardship or restoration benefits.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number EPA R10 PS 1003 and the title "Puget Sound Outreach, Education, and Stewardship Program." The opportunity was posted and created on January 13, 2010, with an application closing date of March 2, 2010, and an archive date of April 1, 2010. Applicants were instructed to consult the full announcement (especially Section IV) for specific submission methods, due dates, and procedural requirements. For help accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is Daniel Steinborn at (206) 553-2728.
