Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) grant opportunity titled "BLM GFO WORK WITH WESTERN COLORADO CONSERVATION CORP" (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00305) was a discretionary funding announcement released under the Recreation Resource Management CFDA program (15.225). It was designed to establish a cooperative partnership with the Western Colorado Conservation Corps (WCCC) to help the BLM carry out on-the-ground natural resource management projects while also creating paid employment opportunities and mentorship experiences for youth. In practical terms, the BLM intended to support conservation work that advances stewardship of public lands, with the added goal of developing young people through structured, supervised work and learning in conservation and land management settings.
This opportunity used a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, which typically indicates an expectation of substantial involvement by the BLM during project implementation rather than a hands-off, standard grant relationship. The activity focus was categorized under Natural Resources, and the described purpose emphasized completing BLM priority projects by leveraging WCCC crews and programming. While the announcement summary does not list specific project types, the framing strongly suggests field-based conservation and recreation resource management efforts common to BLM partnerships, such as habitat restoration, invasive species control, trail or recreation site work, and similar public-land stewardship tasks that are well suited to youth corps models and crew-based project delivery.
Funding for the announcement was limited and targeted. The estimated total funding amount was $95,000, with an award ceiling of $95,000 and an award floor of $23,750, and the BLM expected to make one award. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds to be considered. Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), which aligns with the intended partnership structure centered on a nonprofit conservation corps organization.
Key dates show that the opportunity moved on a short timeline. It was posted and created on September 10, 2012, with an original and current closing date of September 21, 2012, and it was archived on October 31, 2012. Applicants were directed to use the "Application" tab of the full announcement for complete instructions and requirements. For assistance accessing the announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Yvonne Pier, Grants Management Officer, reachable at ypier@blm.gov.
