Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CO Veterans Green Corps Initiative (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00233) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary funding opportunity focused on supporting veteran-led work crews to carry out natural resource projects. Structured as a cooperative agreement, the program is designed for hands-on conservation and recreation resource management work, with the intent that veteran crews will be deployed to complete projects that benefit public lands. The opportunity falls under CFDA 15.225, Recreation Resource Management, which typically covers activities that improve, maintain, or restore recreation and natural resource assets such as trails, habitat areas, and other land management priorities.
This opportunity anticipated making a single award, with total estimated funding of $1,000,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a minimum (floor) of $250,000 up to a maximum (ceiling) of $1,000,000, indicating that the successful applicant could potentially receive the full amount depending on the proposed scope of work and budget. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition was generally open to any type of applicant organization, as long as they complied with any specific eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement. Because it is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, applicants should expect substantial involvement from BLM in implementing the project. In practice, that often means BLM may collaborate on planning, coordinate field priorities, provide technical direction, and participate in oversight to ensure the veteran crews are working on projects aligned with agency land management needs.
The announcement was posted on August 9, 2012, with an application closing date of August 17, 2012. Full application instructions and required materials were made available through Grants.gov via the application tab associated with the opportunity. For access issues or assistance with the announcement, the listed point of contact was Yvonne Pier, Grants Management Officer, reachable at ypier@blm.gov.
