Opportunity Summary:
The Take Pride in America Phase III SNPLMA opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00118) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under the Great Basin Cooperative Ecosystems Study Unit (GBCESU). Its purpose is to continue and expand a community-driven Take Pride in America partnership in southern Nevada focused on reducing litter and illegal desert dumping on public lands. The work builds directly on efforts launched under earlier Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA) funding rounds (Rounds 4 and 5) in the Conservation Initiative category, with an emphasis on keeping momentum through ongoing public education, organized cleanups, and a more comprehensive messaging campaign designed to change behaviors that lead to trash accumulation and dumping.
The program is structured as a single award with a fixed total amount of $729,419, which is also listed as both the award ceiling and award floor, meaning the BLM intended to fund one partner at that exact level. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement identified, which generally lowers the barrier to participation for organizations that may not have additional cash or in-kind resources to contribute. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), though applicants are still expected to meet any conditions that may be detailed in the full announcement and to be capable of carrying out cooperative agreement work in partnership with BLM.
Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, the project is expected to involve substantial involvement by BLM staff in coordination, oversight, and collaborative implementation. In practical terms, this usually means the selected partner would not simply receive funding and act independently; instead, they would work closely with BLM to plan and execute education initiatives, coordinate volunteer or community cleanup events, and develop communications and outreach that reinforce anti-litter and anti-dumping norms across southern Nevada. The opportunity sits within the Natural Resources funding activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.235 (Southern Nevada Public Land Management), reflecting its connection to SNPLMA priorities for conservation and stewardship of public lands in the region.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on June 9, 2011, with an original and current closing date of June 23, 2011, and an archive date of July 23, 2011. A specific administrative update (Modification 1) clarified that the funding available is $729,419.00 and indicated that no other aspects of the announcement changed, suggesting the modification was strictly a correction to the stated funding amount rather than a shift in scope, eligibility, or requirements.
For applicants or interested parties who needed help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Susan Kaller, Grants and Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 775-861-6559 and by email at susankaller@blm.gov (also listed as skaller@blm.gov).
