Opportunity Summary:
The BLM ID Youth Employment Program - Salmon grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM ID NOI 09 0995) was a discretionary Department of the Interior funding notice issued by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to continue supporting an existing, ongoing cooperative agreement with the Youth Employment Program. The purpose of the funding was straightforward: to further assist and extend current work already being carried out under that cooperative agreement, rather than to launch a brand-new, open-ended competitive program with multiple awards. The activity area falls under Natural Resources, and it is tied to CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), which generally covers on-the-ground conservation and resource management efforts that can include habitat improvement, restoration, and related field work where youth crews are often used to complete priority projects.
The award mechanism was a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that BLM expected to have substantial involvement in the supported work (such as collaborating on project planning, setting priorities, coordinating field activities, or providing technical oversight), as opposed to a more hands-off grant. The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1), reinforcing that it was aimed at continuing a specific partnership rather than funding multiple unrelated applicants. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would not have been required to contribute additional non-federal funds to meet a match threshold.
Funding was set at a fixed amount: an estimated total of $116,000, with both the award ceiling and award floor listed as $116,000. In practical terms, that signals BLM intended one continuation award at that exact level, not a range of possible award sizes. Eligible applicants were limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The eligibility language also clarifies the intent behind the posting: it was a notice of intent identifying the need to further fund an ongoing agreement with the Youth Employment Program, which commonly means the agency already had a partner in place and was formalizing the continuation through the grants.gov announcement process.
Key dates show this was a time-limited opportunity from 2009. It was posted on April 28, 2009, with an original closing date of May 15, 2009, later extended to May 30, 2009. The record was archived on June 29, 2009. Anyone seeking official documents or full announcement details was directed to grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Melinda D. Ritacco, Grants Management Officer, at mritacco@blm.gov.
In summary, this opportunity was a single-award, fixed-dollar continuation cooperative agreement from BLM Idaho (Salmon area) designed to keep an existing youth employment partnership operating in support of natural resource conservation and management priorities, without requiring a non-federal match.
