Opportunity Summary:
The BLM Conservation Education and Outreach Internship Project (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00102) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement in the education category. Its core purpose is to run environmental education and outreach programs for urban youth in the Milwaukee area, using public lands as the central theme. The project is designed to introduce young people to the natural world, help them build a personal connection to public lands, and encourage long-term interest in natural resource stewardship. A major emphasis is career inspiration: the program aims to expose participants to natural resource management pathways so that more youth consider future education and jobs in conservation-related fields.
Funding for this opportunity is relatively small and targeted. The total estimated funding is $30,000, with an award ceiling of $30,000 and a minimum (floor) award amount of $2,000. The agency anticipated making one award, meaning it was structured as a single-project investment rather than a multi-recipient competition. The opportunity also requires cost sharing or matching, so applicants were expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or allowable in-kind support) toward the overall project effort.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. In practical terms, this frames the competition around community-based nonprofits and conservation or youth-development organizations capable of delivering programming directly to Milwaukee-area youth and coordinating with BLM under a cooperative agreement structure (which typically implies substantial involvement by the federal agency during project implementation).
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted on May 13, 2014, with the original closing date of June 9, 2014, later extended to a current closing date of July 21, 2014. The announcement was archived on September 9, 2014. The listing is associated with CFDA number 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, which signals the broader federal assistance area tied to conservation and natural resource outcomes.
