Opportunity Summary:

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) posted a discretionary funding opportunity titled "BLM CO YOUTH CREWS, SW DIST RESOURCE MGMT CONSERVATION PROJECTS" (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00184) to support conservation and natural resource work on designated BLM lands in the Colorado Southwest District. The main purpose of the award is to use organized youth corps crews to carry out on-the-ground projects that enhance, improve, and protect the environment. In practice, this kind of opportunity typically supports supervised field crews completing resource management and conservation tasks aligned with local BLM priorities, often combining hands-on stewardship work with youth employment and skill-building.

The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally signals a more collaborative relationship than a standard grant, with BLM likely having substantial involvement in planning, coordination, or oversight of the work. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) is 15.225, Recreation Resource Management. The opportunity anticipated a single award, meaning BLM expected to select one recipient organization to implement the overall project scope for the district rather than distributing smaller awards to multiple entities.

Financially, the total estimated funding for the opportunity was $325,000, with an award ceiling of $325,000 and an award floor of $81,250. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal match funds as a condition of receiving the award. The posting date and creation date were both June 30, 2014. The original and current closing date for applications was July 14, 2014, and the opportunity was archived on August 15, 2014, indicating it is no longer open for application.

Eligibility was limited to youth corps organizations, and the listing’s eligible applicant category was noted as "Others," with further clarification provided in the announcement’s eligibility section. In other words, the target applicants were organizations that operate youth conservation corps-style programs capable of recruiting, training, supervising, and deploying youth crews to complete conservation and resource management projects on public lands.

For applicants needing the complete instructions, BLM directed users to download the full announcement via the application materials associated with the posting. The listed point of contact for access issues was Yvonne Pier, Grants Management Officer, reachable at ypier@blm.gov.
