Opportunity Summary:
The BLM NV Bootstraps for Local Young Adults Natural Resource Projects grant (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00280) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), specifically tied to the BLM Battle Mountain District Office in Nevada. It is designed to support the Bootstraps program, an established employment and workforce-development effort aimed at young adults who are currently not in school and not working. The core idea is to pair hands-on, public-lands natural resource work with structured job training, so participants build practical employment skills while completing meaningful conservation projects.
The award is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means BLM expects to be actively involved with the recipient in planning and carrying out the work rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The program focus falls under the Natural Resources activity category, and it is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. BLM anticipated making one award under this announcement. The opportunity listed an estimated total funding amount of $500,000, with individual award amounts expected to fall between an award floor of $86,795 and an award ceiling of $152,821. No cost share or matching funds were required, which lowers the financial barrier for eligible organizations to apply.
Eligibility is geared toward qualified youth or conservation corps programs rather than individuals. A qualified youth or conservation corps is defined broadly and can be run by a state or local government, the governing body of an Indian tribe, or a nonprofit organization, as long as it can deliver a full-time, productive work experience in a natural or cultural resource setting for participants ages 16 through 25. Beyond simply providing jobs, the program must offer a well-rounded mix of work experience, basic and life skills development, education, training, and supportive services. It also needs to incorporate a service component that helps participants build citizenship values and a connection to their community and the United States through public service.
In practical terms, the funded work is intended to take place on public lands and revolve around natural resource projects coordinated with BLM. While the announcement does not list specific project types in the provided summary, the emphasis is on accomplishing on-the-ground conservation or resource management tasks while simultaneously teaching participants work skills and job responsibility. That dual-purpose design is central: the projects are not just conservation outcomes for BLM-managed lands, but also a structured pathway to employability for young adults who are disconnected from school and work.
The posting date for the opportunity was August 16, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 26, 2010, and an archive date of September 16, 2010, indicating this particular notice is historical rather than currently open. Additional details were available through Grants.gov at the time. For assistance with accessing the full announcement, the contact listed was Susan Kaller, Grants Management Specialist, reachable at 775-861-6559 and susankaller@blm.gov.
