The objective of this FOA is to invite non-profit organizations in the Mid-Pacific Region, to leverage their money and resources by cost sharing with Reclamation on programs that seek to improve water conservation and public awareness of water use efficiency issues and practices through classroom education and classroom material development and distribution. Proposals will be ranked on education quality, facilities, the extent of the outreach program, and the quality of supporting documents. Successful applicants will enter into a financial assistance agreement with Reclamation. Period of Performance is an approximate two year period from the date of issuance. R14AS00022 will be posted on the GRANTS.GOV web site, at www.grants.gov, on or about February 25, 2014. The date for receipt of proposals is on March 25, 2014, no later than 1 p.m. PDT. The FOA must be downloaded from Grants.gov.

This work is to be accomplished throughout the Mid-Pacific Region to benefit the Central Valley Project and public at large.
