Opportunity Summary:
The YHONA Interpretive and Educational Programs opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00093) is a discretionary federal funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the recipient should expect substantial involvement from the agency during planning and delivery of the work rather than operating entirely independently. The overall aim is to enhance public services at Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area (YHONA) through interpretive and educational programming that helps visitors better understand the site, its natural and cultural resources, and appropriate recreation and stewardship practices.
A central feature of the project is providing apprentices or interns who will work directly with the visiting public. In practice, this points to staffing support for front-line interpretation and education, such as guided talks, informal visitor contacts, assistance with school or community education efforts, and general interpretive presence in high-use areas. The emphasis on apprenticeships/internships also suggests a workforce-development component, where early-career participants gain practical experience in public lands interpretation, environmental education, and visitor services while supporting BLM operations at the site.
Beyond programming and staffing, the announcement indicates that additional services may include management of facilities within YHONA, specifically noting the historic lighthouse. This signals that the funded partner may be asked to assist with certain aspects of facility operations or visitor-facing facility management connected to public access and interpretation. While the summary language does not spell out exact tasks, the scope implies operational support that complements educational services, potentially involving coordination, visitor flow assistance, basic site support functions, or program delivery tied to facility use and historic resource interpretation.
The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $150,000. The stated award ceiling is $20,000 and the award floor is $1, which implies the agency may issue incremental funding or structure support across activities or time periods, and that applicants should pay close attention to the full announcement for how these figures are applied (for example, whether the ceiling relates to a specific budget period or component). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, reducing barriers for applicants that may not have non-federal funds available.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity unless further limited by clarifications in the full funding announcement. The program is categorized under Natural Resources, and it is associated with CFDA 15.225, Recreation Resource Management, which aligns with projects focused on visitor services, recreation experience, interpretation, and stewardship on public lands.
Key timing details show the opportunity was posted on June 3, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 28, 2013, and it was later archived on June 2, 2014. Applicants needing access help or administrative assistance were directed to contact Sheryl Dowley, Grants Management Specialist at BLM, at 503-808-6243 or sdowley@blm.gov. For full technical instructions, required forms, and any specific program expectations, the notice points applicants to the Application materials provided with the complete announcement package.
