Opportunity Information: Apply for L17AS00058
The BLM CA Friends of Jawbone grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L17AS00058) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), focused on natural resource stewardship and responsible recreation in an Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) area on public lands in California. The core idea is simple: BLM wants a qualified nonprofit partner to help protect the natural environment and improve visitor safety by providing strong, on-the-ground education and interpretation for the people who actually use the area.
The project is built around direct visitor engagement and practical information. The recipient is expected to develop and provide interpretive materials and staffing that can educate the visiting public about the recreational opportunities, natural resources, and cultural resources present in the OHV area. This includes the kinds of tools that are especially useful to OHV riders and other visitors, such as detailed route and trail maps, handouts about how to ride responsibly on federal lands, and in-person assistance from knowledgeable visitor center staff who can answer questions and guide people toward appropriate routes and behaviors. The opportunity emphasizes that interpretation and education are not just informational add-ons; they are seen as effective methods for teaching outdoor ethics, promoting acceptable and safe behavior, and preventing avoidable impacts to sensitive resources.
A major theme of the opportunity is meeting OHV users where they are. BLM explicitly highlights the importance of bringing education directly to OHV recreationists in the setting where decisions are being made, so that stewardship, safety, and outdoor ethics messages are delivered at the point of use. The envisioned outreach methods include one-on-one contact as well as education through video, displays, and other informational materials. The logic BLM lays out is that when visitors are engaged in a personal and practical way, they are more likely to understand the value of the landscape and its resources, and that increased understanding tends to translate into better compliance, safer recreation choices, and stronger overall resource protection.
In terms of who can apply, eligibility is limited to nonprofits with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The catalog listing ties the opportunity to CFDA number 15.225, and the award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM is likely to have substantial involvement in coordination, expectations, or implementation compared with a standard grant. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an award ceiling of up to $500,000. The posting was created on April 13, 2017, with an original closing date of May 9, 2017.
Overall, this funding opportunity is designed to support a public-facing education and interpretation program that helps visitors recreate responsibly in a high-use OHV area. The expected outcomes are improved visitor understanding of rules and resource values, safer and more ethical recreation behavior, and reduced damage to natural and cultural resources through proactive, direct communication and high-quality informational materials.Apply for L17AS00058
