Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "BLM OR WA Klamath Falls Youth Development, Recreation and Watershed Projects, Lakeview District, Oregon" (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00250) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant competition offered through a cooperative agreement. It is tied to the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act (CFDA 15.234), specifically Title II, which is designed to help rural counties support projects that restore, maintain, and steward federal lands, as well as projects on non-federal lands when those projects provide a clear benefit to adjacent or related federal lands. In practical terms, this program is meant to translate local priorities into on-the-ground work that improves forest and watershed health, strengthens recreation infrastructure, and reduces risks that threaten communities and public resources.
The core purpose of the funding is to support restoration and maintenance activities that align with Title II objectives. The announcement highlights several typical project themes: reducing wildfire risk in the wildland-urban interface (the zone where homes and communities meet undeveloped wildland vegetation), restoring fish and wildlife habitat, and completing road, recreation, and facility maintenance that supports safe and sustainable public access. The inclusion of "youth development" in the opportunity title suggests an emphasis on projects that may involve youth crews, training, or education components connected to stewardship work, recreation site improvements, and watershed-related field projects, particularly within the Klamath Falls area and the Lakeview District in Oregon.
This opportunity anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $250,000 available under the announcement. Individual award sizes were expected to range from a minimum (award floor) of $1 to a maximum (award ceiling) of $48,641, indicating the BLM was likely seeking one cooperative agreement that could encompass multiple smaller project activities, tasks, or subprojects under a single overall agreement structure. The notice specifies that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations that have IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, which fits the stated project focus on fuels reduction, habitat restoration, watershed stewardship, and maintenance of recreation and related infrastructure. The instrument type being a cooperative agreement is also important: compared to a standard grant, a cooperative agreement typically implies a higher level of federal involvement in project implementation, coordination, or oversight, which can matter for project planning, reporting, and day-to-day execution.
Key dates for the competition were straightforward. The opportunity was posted and created on July 23, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 22, 2014. The archive date is listed as July 22, 2015, indicating it is a past opportunity rather than an open solicitation today, but the summary still provides a clear picture of the program structure and priorities for that cycle.
For applicants who needed help accessing the full announcement or application package, the listed point of contact was Jessica Clark at the Bureau of Land Management, reachable by phone at 503-808-6226 or by email at j1clark@blm.gov. The notice also referenced an "APPLICATION" tab in the full posting where applicants could download the complete instructions and required forms, suggesting that the detailed scope, evaluation criteria, and submission requirements were provided in the full announcement package rather than in the brief synopsis.
