Current Capital Campaigns

Access the Cross Bar

The grant application for the Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP) was submitted in July 2022.  We need your help in raising our grant match! Help build access to your public land: the ONLY Bureau of Land Management land in Texas!


The FLAP grant application is for $12,000,000, the match needed $4,000,000.

Budget Proposals

 BLM Cross Bar Management also works on internal budget proposals for project funding to include the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding opportunities. 

 Interior amenities are being planned and budgeted for.

Grants

To fully develop the Cross Bar SRMA, master planning efforts estimated a total cost of $26 million. 

Considering the high development cost grant applications will be necessary. Fundraising for grant match requirements allows us to be competitive and prepared when grants are announced and/or awarded. Donations for each campaign will be invested in the Amarillo Area Foundation "The Cross Bar Fund."

It is imperative that we have matching funds available when any grant is announced. Therefore, all donations will be maximized to show competitiveness for grants. The partners are constantly looking for and applying for grants. While grant awards are never guaranteed, we will continue to apply for grants to achieve our goals.

Support access to your public lands!
