Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CA American Indian Youth Native Technology Camp grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00167) is a discretionary funding program offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to support an education-focused project that centers on American Indian youth. The core purpose is to get youth outdoors in meaningful, structured ways while building understanding of Tribal relationships to both natural resources (such as land, water, plants, and wildlife) and cultural resources (including heritage sites, traditional use areas, and culturally important landscapes). A key goal is to strengthen long-term stewardship by helping participants see and appreciate the methods and practices BLM uses to manage public lands responsibly, with an emphasis on conservation, protection of resources, and respectful engagement with Tribal perspectives.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning it is intended to involve substantial collaboration between the recipient and the federal agency rather than being a simple pass-through grant. The activity category is Education, and it falls under CFDA 15.225 (Recreation Resource Management), aligning it with programs that promote responsible recreation, resource understanding, and land stewardship. The announcement indicates that the program expects to make one award, suggesting a single organization or partnership would be selected to carry out the camp concept as described.
Funding for the project is relatively small and targeted, with an estimated total of $20,000 available. The award ceiling is $20,000 and the award floor is $10,000, indicating proposals were expected to be scoped within that range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the financial barrier for applicants and can make it more feasible for organizations with limited cash resources to apply, including community-based groups that can deliver culturally grounded programming.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any clarifications that may have been included in the full announcement. In practice, this kind of youth camp project is often well-suited to Tribal organizations, non-profits, youth programs, educational institutions, or community groups with experience working with American Indian youth and delivering outdoor or cultural education. The posted date and creation date were July 14, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 20, 2010, indicating a very short application window at the time. The opportunity was archived on September 30, 2010, meaning it is no longer open, but the details still provide a useful snapshot of BLM’s priorities for youth engagement and stewardship programming during that period.
For applicants who needed help accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed contact was Traci D. Thaler, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 916-978-4529 or via email at tthaler@blm.gov.
