Opportunity Summary:

The "Washington County School District Take It Outside" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM AZ NOI 09 1293) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior under the Bureau of Land Management, using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. It is framed around a public-benefit goal: improving the health of the nation's children, families, and communities by encouraging outdoor-oriented programming and recreation resource management activities. The activity category is listed as Environment, and the associated CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number is 15.225, Recreation Resource Management, which typically aligns with projects that promote responsible use and enjoyment of public lands and outdoor recreation resources.

This announcement anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. The award ceiling was $100,000 and the award floor was $0, meaning proposals could request up to the full available amount, and there was no stated minimum award size. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide matching funds as a condition of eligibility or selection, which can lower barriers for organizations that have strong project ideas but limited ability to contribute cash or in-kind match.

Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations that have IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. In practice, this suggests the program was oriented toward nonprofit partners capable of working closely with a school district and federal land managers to deliver outdoor learning, recreation, or health-related engagement opportunities for youth and families. Because the instrument is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, the federal agency typically expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as coordination, technical input, or shared planning, rather than simply providing funds and receiving reports.

The opportunity was posted on June 25, 2009, with the application window closing on July 14, 2009. The archive date was August 13, 2009, indicating it was a time-limited solicitation that is no longer open. The public listing pointed applicants to Grants.gov for the full announcement and application materials. For assistance accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Paul Stout at paulstout@blm.gov.
