Opportunity Summary:
The SNDO Red Rock Canyon Interpretive and Education Program (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00153) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category. The purpose of the opportunity was to establish a partnership with a qualified nonprofit association to deliver visitor-focused services at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area in southern Nevada. In practical terms, the BLM was looking for an organization that could help the public better understand and appreciate the area by providing on-site information, interpretive services, and structured educational programming for visitors.
This opportunity anticipated making a single award, with total estimated funding of up to $2,500,000. The award ceiling was listed at $2,500,000, while the award floor was $600,000, indicating the BLM expected proposals to fall within a substantial funding range depending on the proposed scope of work and capacity to deliver services. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility, although applicants could still propose leveraging other resources if it strengthened their approach.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status recognized by the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. The listing also included the CFDA number 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management), which aligns with the interpretive and educational nature of the project and the broader goal of supporting public understanding of cultural and natural resources. Because the award instrument was a cooperative agreement, the BLM expected to have an active role in the project beyond simply providing funding, typically involving collaboration, coordination, and shared responsibilities during implementation.
The opportunity was posted and created on July 29, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 9, 2013, and an archive date of September 9, 2013. Applicants were directed to use the announcement materials and application package available through the opportunity posting (via the application tab referenced in the notice). For technical issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Gretchen Eykelbosh, Grants and Agreements Specialist, reachable at 775-861-6740 or by email at geykelbosh@blm.gov.
