Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CA Farmworker Institute of Education and Leadership Development (FIELD) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00037) is a discretionary federal funding program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It is structured as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category, specifically tied to CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. The program was posted on February 18, 2014, with an application deadline of March 18, 2014, and it was later archived on December 30, 2018.
The purpose of the opportunity is to support the start-up, establishment, and ongoing operation of a newly formed youth organization connected to FIELD. The core emphasis is on creating pathways for economic and social prosperity for youth from ethnic communities, particularly in remote and rural areas. Through a blend of education, workforce preparation, and economic development activities, the funded work is intended to strengthen rural communities while also building leadership capacity and practical job skills among participating young people. A central feature is hands-on project work on public lands, giving youth direct experience with conservation and environmental stewardship.
BLM highlights that it has already worked with FIELD as a subrecipient in the prior year and reports positive outcomes from that collaboration. Specifically, BLM notes satisfaction with the organization’s accomplishments on public lands and emphasizes that youth participants gained understanding and appreciation of why environmental protection projects matter. The program is designed around youth crews, with members expected to be between 15 and 25 years old, indicating an intent to serve both teens and young adults who are at a key stage for workforce entry, leadership development, and long-term career direction.
Funding for the opportunity is expected to result in a single award, with an estimated total program funding amount of $500,000. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $500,000, meaning the agency anticipated one project at that full level rather than multiple smaller awards. Cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants would need to contribute non-federal resources (cash or allowable in-kind support) as part of the overall project budget, consistent with the grant’s terms and cooperative agreement conditions.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. This indicates the opportunity is aimed at community-based nonprofit capacity, particularly organizations positioned to manage youth programming, workforce development, and conservation-related projects in partnership with federal land managers. Additional details and the full announcement were available through Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Leona B. Parker, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 530-252-5338 or lparker@blm.gov.
