Opportunity Summary:
The RESPONSIBLE RECREATION CAMPAIGN (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00120) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant opportunity focused on natural resources protection through improved off-highway vehicle (OHV) behavior on public lands. The core goal of the project was education and behavior change: reinforcing and promoting responsible OHV use while also addressing, modifying, and reducing irresponsible riding that can damage natural and cultural resources. In practical terms, the opportunity centered on preventing or minimizing impacts such as soil disturbance, vegetation loss, erosion, and other forms of resource damage that can occur when OHV users travel off designated routes or ignore land-use rules.
The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which typically means the BLM expected to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds. This can include coordination on messaging, review of outreach materials, alignment with local land management priorities, or joint planning with field offices, depending on the specific terms laid out in the full announcement. Only one award was expected under this opportunity.
Financially, the opportunity offered an estimated total of $30,000, with an award ceiling of $30,000 and a minimum (floor) award amount of $7,500. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applied under a “Challenge Cost Share†approach, meaning the recipient would need to contribute non-federal match (cash and/or eligible in-kind contributions, depending on the rules in the full announcement) to help carry out the project. This structure is often used to increase local investment and stretch federal dollars by pairing them with partner contributions such as volunteer labor, donated services, equipment use, or direct financial support.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The CFDA listing was 15.238, which corresponds to BLM assistance programs. The opportunity was posted on May 29, 2014, and closed on June 11, 2014, later being archived on July 28, 2014. Applicants were directed to download the full announcement and application instructions via the posting’s application materials, and the point of contact listed for access issues was Yvonne Pier, Grants Management Officer, at ypier@blm.gov.
Overall, this grant was designed for a qualified nonprofit capable of delivering a targeted responsible recreation campaign tied to OHV use, with the aim of reducing preventable damage on public lands through outreach, education, and mitigation of irresponsible riding practices, implemented in coordination with the BLM.
