Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM CO YOUTH CREWS, SW DIST RESOURCE MGMT CONSERVATION PROJECTS" (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00186) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement focused on conservation and resource management work on designated BLM lands within the Colorado Southwest District. The core purpose of the project was to use youth corps crews to enhance, improve, and protect environmental resources on public lands, aligning the work with BLM priorities in natural resource stewardship and recreation resource management.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM expected to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The funding activity category was Natural Resources, and the CFDA program number associated with the opportunity was 15.225, Recreation Resource Management. The announcement anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $325,000. The maximum award amount (ceiling) was $325,000, and the minimum award amount (floor) was $81,250. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which typically lowers the barrier to participation for eligible organizations and allows the federal funding to cover the full approved scope of work.
Eligibility was limited to youth corps organizations, listed under the broader category of "Others" with clarification provided in the eligibility text. In practical terms, the intent was to fund qualified entities that can recruit, train, supervise, and deploy youth crews to carry out on-the-ground conservation projects on BLM-managed lands in the district. While the short description does not list specific tasks, projects of this type commonly include trail and recreation site maintenance, habitat restoration, invasive species mitigation, erosion control, cleanup and rehabilitation of impacted areas, and other hands-on stewardship activities that directly improve conditions on public lands while providing youth with paid work experience, skills development, and exposure to careers in conservation and land management.
The timeline for the opportunity shows it was posted and created on June 30, 2014, with an application closing date of July 14, 2014, and it was later archived on August 15, 2014. Applicants needing the full set of instructions were directed to download the full announcement and application materials through the funding portal.
