Opportunity Information: Apply for L17AS00043
The "BLM CA Friends of Big Morongo Preserve" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L17AS00043) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement to support ongoing partnership work at Big Morongo Canyon Preserve in California. The preserve is managed by the BLM, which took over responsibility from The Nature Conservancy in 1995, and since then the Friends of Big Morongo Canyon Preserve, a nonprofit 501(c)(3), has played a major supporting role in helping the BLM deliver visitor-facing and educational services. The overall aim of the opportunity is to continue and strengthen that established cooperative relationship so the site remains a high-quality example of what a public-nonprofit partnership can achieve in conservation and public engagement.
The project focus centers on visitor services, interpretation, and environmental education within the preserve. In practical terms, this includes developing and maintaining interpretive infrastructure and materials such as signs, displays, and brochures, along with supporting educational programming and other services that help the public understand and responsibly enjoy the area. The description emphasizes that past cooperation has already leveraged substantial outside support, with tens of thousands of dollars contributed over time by private, county, and state partners in the form of programs, materials, labor, services, and interpretive displays. This funding opportunity is positioned as a way to keep that momentum going, using coordinated efforts to sustain and enhance public outreach and on-the-ground visitor experience.
A key contextual point is the preserve's special land status. Big Morongo Canyon Preserve is identified as an Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC), meaning it is recognized for important natural, cultural, or scenic values that warrant heightened attention in management. The opportunity also notes that the Morongo ACEC was recently designated as part of the Sand to Snow National Monument, which typically increases public interest and visitation and can raise the importance of strong interpretation, education, and visitor services. The continued partnership described in the opportunity is framed as especially valuable in light of that designation, helping the site serve as a "showcase" for effective stewardship and collaborative management.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, under CFDA number 15.225, with an original posting date of April 13, 2017 and an original closing date of May 9, 2017. Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The opportunity anticipates a single award, with an award ceiling of $250,000. Because the instrument is a cooperative agreement, it signals an arrangement where the BLM expects to be actively involved alongside the recipient in carrying out the supported work, rather than simply issuing funds with minimal federal participation.Apply for L17AS00043
