Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR WA Kalapuya Conservation Corps Recreation Maintenance grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00234) is a discretionary federal funding announcement from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) focused on hands-on recreation site and corridor maintenance within the Eugene District in Oregon. The project is built around engaging youth crews, as needed, to complete a range of practical, on-the-ground tasks that support safe, clean, and functional public recreation areas on BLM-managed lands. The work described is largely manual and field-based, emphasizing routine upkeep and improvements that visitors notice immediately, such as repainting facilities and structures, removing weeds, brushing back vegetation along corridors, and conducting garbage and debris cleanups.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the BLM expects to have substantial involvement in coordinating or overseeing aspects of the project rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The opportunity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.234 (Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination), indicating Title II funding support. The announcement notes that tools, personal protective equipment, and transportation will be funded with Title II funds, reinforcing that this is a field operations-oriented effort where crew safety and logistics are central components.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $300,000, with an award ceiling of $58,028 and an award floor of $1. The notice anticipates making one award. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute either cash or in-kind support (for example, staff time, equipment use, or other allowable contributions) as part of the overall project cost structure.
Eligibility is limited to independent school districts, positioning the program as a youth-focused partnership that aligns with education and workforce development pathways while meeting public land stewardship needs. The timeline in the announcement shows it was posted and created on July 22, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 21, 2014, and an archive date of July 21, 2015. Applicants were directed to download the full instructions and application package via the application materials referenced in the announcement.
For applicant support or access issues related to the full electronic announcement, the listed point of contact is Jessica Clark at 503-808-6226 or j1clark@blm.gov.
