Opportunity Information: Apply for L20AS00087
The BLM Wyoming Recreation and Visitors Services grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L20AS00087) is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It focuses on supporting recreation and visitor service efforts on BLM-managed public lands in Wyoming, recognizing that these lands offer some of the most varied outdoor recreation opportunities in the western United States. The program sits within BLM's Recreation and Visitor Services Program, which manages a wide range of recreation-related responsibilities intended to improve public experiences, maintain and enhance recreation resources, and strengthen the connection between responsible outdoor use, conservation, and local economic benefits.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the BLM expects substantial involvement in the project during its development or implementation rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources (CFDA 15.225) and is designed to help advance recreation opportunities and visitor services while reinforcing BLM's role as a collaborative partner with local communities and stakeholders. The underlying intent is to support projects that both improve access and experiences for visitors and contribute to stewardship of public lands, reflecting the idea that well-managed recreation can help sustain conservation goals and rural economies at the same time.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is open to a wide range of applicant types, subject to any additional conditions that may be described in the full announcement under eligibility details. The posted award information indicates an award ceiling of $500,000, with an expectation of about six awards. The opportunity was created on April 24, 2020, and the original application closing date was June 24, 2020, which suggests it was a time-limited solicitation for that funding cycle.Apply for L20AS00087
