Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR WA Oregon Conservation and Environmental Stewardship Project (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00101) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.225, Recreation Resource Management. The focus is natural resource stewardship through hands-on restoration and public education, with a strong emphasis on volunteer engagement and youth participation. The underlying idea is to bring a broad mix of people and organizations together, including individual volunteers, service and conservation groups, businesses, and government partners, to improve public lands and build long-term environmental responsibility in local communities.
The work described centers on organizing and carrying out community-based cleanup and stewardship projects that align with the BLM mission across several BLM districts in Oregon. Specific examples called out in the announcement include cleanup events at Fishermans Bend and along the Molalla River in the Salem District, a spring cleanup effort in the Marcola area in the Eugene District, the "Down by the Riverside" cleanup event in the Burns District, and river cleanup projects along the Middle Deschutes in the Prineville District. In addition to these site-based efforts, the opportunity highlights youth-related events and projects connected to National Public Lands Day, reinforcing that the project is not just about picking up trash or restoring sites in the short term, but also about using those activities as educational experiences that encourage ongoing stewardship.
Funding for the opportunity is relatively small and targeted, with an estimated total funding amount of $10,000 and an award ceiling of $10,000 (with an award floor of $1). The BLM anticipated making one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, which can make the project more accessible to smaller organizations or partnerships that have strong volunteer capacity but limited cash resources. Because the instrument is a cooperative agreement, applicants should expect substantial involvement by the BLM during the project, meaning the agency and the recipient would coordinate closely on planning, implementation, and possibly volunteer management, logistics, and public outreach consistent with BLM policies and site needs.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition is broadly open to many entity types, subject to any clarifications that would have been included in the full announcement materials. The opportunity was posted on May 18, 2011, with an application deadline of June 1, 2011, and it was archived on May 18, 2012. For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement or application package, the listed point of contact was Teresa E. Spickerman, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 503-808-6243 or teresaspickerman@blm.gov.
