Opportunity Summary:
The Red Rock Canyon Interpretive grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: NV R 0808497) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding announcement focused on supporting interpretive and educational services at Red Rock Canyon. It was posted on August 26, 2008, and structured as a continuation award using a cooperative agreement, which typically means the BLM expects to remain substantially involved in overseeing or collaborating on the funded activities rather than simply issuing a stand-alone grant with minimal agency participation. The program sits within the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management), reflecting an emphasis on public-land education, stewardship, and visitor understanding of cultural and natural resources.
The purpose described in the announcement is very specific: it is a notice of intent to award to the Red Rock Canyon Interpretive Association. The core idea is to support an organized mechanism for accepting donations on behalf of the site and to facilitate the sale and distribution of interpretive and educational materials. These materials are meant to help visitors better appreciate public land resources and to encourage responsible recreation on those lands. In practical terms, the work supported under this opportunity centers on interpretation (public-facing education such as brochures, guidebooks, exhibits, and related learning resources), outreach that improves visitor awareness and behavior, and retail or donation systems that help fund or sustain these interpretive efforts at Red Rock Canyon.
Funding details indicate there was expected to be one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,500,000. The award ceiling is also listed as $2,500,000, while the award floor is $1,000. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which would normally make participation easier for eligible organizations; however, eligibility is narrowly limited. Eligible applicants are nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), but because the announcement is explicitly a notice of intent to award to a specific organization, it reads as a directed continuation rather than an open competitive solicitation.
Key dates show a very short application window: the original and current closing date are both September 2, 2008, with an archive date of September 3, 2008. The sponsoring agency is the Bureau of Land Management. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Alice Wilson, Grants and Agreement Specialist, reachable by phone at (702) 515-5124.
