The Project Decisions Commitee has chosen our project!
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.

Expected notice of short list acceptance: January 2023 -
Project Decisions Commitee approved our project for the state of Texas.
Your donations are tax-deductible, we are a nonprofit 501 (c)(3).
Donate to the Cross Bar Fund at the Amarillo Area Foundation.
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.
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.

We would also like to give a special thanks to the LX Ranch for their donation of easement for the access road.
Thank you!
