Opportunity Summary:
The BLM-Alaska, Youth Crew Fairbanks District Office (FDO) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L16AS00056) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (DOI-BLM). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected partner would likely coordinate closely with BLM staff while carrying out the work. The core purpose is to use youth-focused funding to partner with a qualified youth conservation corps to both introduce youth and young adults to career pathways within BLM and to support on-the-ground BLM mission needs tied to public land stewardship.
The projects supported under this opportunity are located within BLM’s Fairbanks District Office in Alaska, which is made up of two field offices: the Eastern Interior Field Office (EIFO) and the Central Yukon Field Office (CYFO). The scope of the work reflects the size and complexity of the recreation and access infrastructure managed across this district. Collectively, the district includes more than 250 miles of trails, 34 miles of roads, roughly 200 miles of user-created travel routes, 10 campgrounds, and 38 waysides. The opportunity is essentially aimed at putting youth crews to work on maintaining, improving, and protecting these facilities and the surrounding natural and cultural resources, while giving participants meaningful exposure to conservation and land management careers.
The grant highlights several high-profile and sensitive management areas that may be included in project planning and field assignments. These include the Dalton Highway Corridor and the Fort Egbert National Historic Site, along with major recreation and conservation landscapes such as the White Mountains National Recreation Area and the Steese National Conservation Area. It also references multiple National Wild and Scenic Rivers where BLM has responsibilities for protecting outstanding values while supporting appropriate recreation and access: Beaver Creek (127 river miles), Birch Creek (126 river miles), and the Fortymile River (392 river miles). Another featured asset is the Pinnell Mountain National Recreation Trail, which spans 27 miles. The emphasis on these areas signals that proposed youth crew projects could involve a mix of trail work, campground and wayside maintenance, route and access management, and stewardship tasks intended to protect the values and resources on public lands.
In practical terms, the opportunity is designed to fund one award, with an award ceiling of $500,000 and an expected number of awards listed as 1. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.225 (Natural Resources). The posting and creation dates are March 15, 2016, and the closing date for applications is May 16, 2016. Eligibility is limited to nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (other than institutions of higher education), which indicates BLM was seeking a specific category of nonprofit partner for delivering youth conservation corps programming under this cooperative agreement framework.
