Opportunity Summary:
Trail Planning, Design, Construction and Partnership Development, Oregon (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00186) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding opportunity focused on improving recreation infrastructure on BLM-administered lands in Oregon and Washington. The core purpose of the project was to cooperate with an eligible partner to plan, design, and construct trail systems that support a wide range of uses, including both motorized and non-motorized trails. In practical terms, the grant was aimed at building or enhancing trail networks and related recreation access through coordinated planning and on-the-ground implementation, with an emphasis on partnership development as part of delivering those outcomes.
The funding mechanism was a cooperative agreement, which typically means the BLM expected to have substantial involvement in the project rather than acting only as a passive funder. The program sat within the Natural Resources funding activity category and was associated with CFDA number 15.225 (Recreation Resource Management). The opportunity anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $480,000. Individual awards were listed with a ceiling of $88,000 and a floor of $1, indicating the award size could vary depending on the proposed scope and budget, but would not exceed the stated maximum per award.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. No cost sharing or matching requirement was stated, so applicants were not required to provide matching funds as a condition of eligibility, although project-specific leveraging or in-kind contributions can sometimes still strengthen applications in similar partnership-focused programs.
Key dates show this was a time-limited 2013 opportunity: it was posted and created on August 7, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 19, 2013, and an archive date of August 7, 2014. Applicants were directed to use the announcement materials under the application instructions (referenced as the "APPLICATION" tab in the original listing) for full details on submission requirements and the application package.
