Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Trail development and maintenance projects within Grand Junction Colorado" (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00056) was a discretionary funding announcement from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), focused on recreation resource management work in and around Grand Junction, Colorado. The central purpose was to support efforts that keep trails on BLM-managed public lands in good condition while also continuing public outreach and education programs connected to responsible recreation. In practical terms, the opportunity was aimed at organizations that could help improve the on-the-ground trail system and simultaneously engage the public through education that promotes safe, sustainable, and appropriate use of these recreation areas under the jurisdiction of the BLM Grand Junction Field Office.
The funding instrument for this opportunity was a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a more collaborative relationship between the awarding agency and the recipient than a standard grant. Under cooperative agreements, BLM often remains involved during the period of performance through coordination, technical input, shared planning, and oversight related to project objectives. The activity category was listed as "Other," clarified specifically as "Recreation Resource Management," signaling that the work was tied to managing recreational resources on public lands rather than, for example, research or infrastructure unrelated to recreation.
Financially, the opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $95,000. The award ceiling was also $95,000, meaning the maximum possible award was the full amount available, while the award floor was $2,500, indicating that smaller proposals could be considered as long as they met program goals. Importantly, there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide a financial match to be eligible, which can reduce barriers for smaller nonprofits and community-based organizations.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, explicitly excluding institutions of higher education. This points to an intent to partner with nonprofit trail groups, stewardship organizations, or community-based conservation and recreation organizations that have experience with volunteer coordination, trail maintenance and construction, visitor education, and public engagement on federal lands.
The posting and timing details indicate this was a time-limited funding window in 2012. The opportunity was posted and created on March 26, 2012, with an original and final closing date of April 16, 2012, and it was archived on April 27, 2012. The associated CFDA number was 15.225 (Recreation Resource Management), which is the federal program identifier tied to the type of assistance being offered.
For applicants needing the full instructions and application materials, the announcement directed users to download the complete package via the application materials tab in the posting system. A contact person was provided for access issues: Ruth A. Raisanen, reachable by phone at 303-239-3605 and by email at rraisane@blm.gov (with an additional email listed as rraisabe@blm.gov).
