Opportunity Summary:
The BLM UT Monticello More Kids in the Woods grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM UT NOI 09 0939) is a Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management discretionary funding opportunity designed to connect local youth and young adults with public lands through hands-on stewardship, learning, and community service. The core purpose is to promote public benefits like education, job training, and productive community involvement by directly involving young people in the care, improvement, and enhancement of natural and cultural resources on public lands. A major intended outcome is reconnecting participants with the natural world in a way that builds long-term respect for land, wildlife, and heritage resources, while also encouraging a practical ethic of service through real work that benefits the community and the land.
A distinctive feature of this opportunity is its emphasis on cultural learning and the role of Native traditions in shaping environmental values. The program is structured to introduce and discuss environmental ethics grounded in Native perspectives, and it explicitly encourages participants to share their own traditional knowledge as part of the learning process. The announcement also highlights the use of problem-solving conversations to better understand what participants already know, what experiences they have had outdoors, and how they relate to the natural world. In other words, the program is not only about delivering environmental education, but also about listening to participants, drawing out their lived experiences, and using that as a foundation for building skills, confidence, and stewardship values.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the award is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the agency expects active involvement with the recipient during the project rather than a hands-off grant relationship. The activity falls under the Natural Resources category, tied to CFDA 15.225, Recreation Resource Management. BLM anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $18,000. The stated award ceiling is $18,000, and the award floor is $500. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier to participation for organizations that may not have access to additional funds. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any clarifications that may have appeared in the full announcement.
Key dates show this was a time-limited opportunity posted and created on April 7, 2009, with an original and current closing date of April 24, 2009, and an archive date of April 30, 2009. Applicants were directed to Grants.gov for full details, and the listed contact for access issues or questions was Maria A. Gochis (mgochis@blm.gov).
