Opportunity Summary:
The Recreation Site Stewardship Pilot Program SNPLMA Round 10 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00273) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding notice tied to CFDA 15.235, Southern Nevada Public Land Management. The purpose of the project is to create a formal partnership with a single outside entity that can organize recreationists of many different types into a coordinated stewardship network. In practical terms, the funded partner would help recruit, organize, and mobilize people who use public lands for recreation so they can give back through stewardship activities that support and protect the places they enjoy. The goal is to keep recreation sites in good condition and maintain high-quality recreation opportunities over time by building a culture of shared responsibility among users.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the BLM expects to remain actively involved in the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping away. The announcement indicates an intent to fund specific project activities, centered on developing and running this stewardship partnership model, as a pilot program under the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act framework. The emphasis is on building an organized, ongoing network of volunteer or participant stewards rather than one-off cleanups, with the broader objective of improving site conditions and reinforcing sustainable recreation behavior across different user groups.
A key point in this notice is that it is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the BLM intends to fund the project without full and open competition. Even though the eligible applicants field is listed as "unrestricted" on the listing, the text makes clear that the agency is not soliciting competitive proposals through this posting; it is announcing its intention to make a single award through a non-competitive process for the described activities. As a result, organizations should understand this posting as informational rather than an open invitation to apply in the usual grants.gov sense.
Financially, the opportunity anticipates one award with an estimated total funding amount of $649,452, and both the award ceiling and floor are also listed as $649,452, signaling a fixed planned award amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on July 29, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 15, 2014, and an archive date of September 15, 2014. Anyone needing access to the full announcement or having trouble retrieving it electronically is directed to contact Susan Kaller, Grants and Agreements Specialist, at 775-861-6559 or skaller@blm.gov. The additional information link is provided through grants.gov.
