Opportunity Summary:
The Boise District Youth Education Program (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00244) was a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), focused on supporting youth education efforts tied to natural and cultural resources in Southwest Idaho. The program’s intent was to fund educational activities that help young people learn about public lands and the kinds of resources the BLM manages, such as recreation areas, wildlife habitat, rangelands, waterways, and culturally significant or historic sites. The listing places the opportunity under the Natural Resources funding activity category, with a CFDA number of 15.225 (Recreation Resource Management), which signals a strong emphasis on education connected to outdoor recreation, stewardship, and resource awareness on BLM-managed lands.
Funding was to be provided through a cooperative agreement, meaning recipients could expect active involvement from the BLM in carrying out the project rather than a hands-off grant relationship. The opportunity anticipated making up to three awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000 across all awards. Individual awards were capped at $5,000 (award ceiling), and the minimum award amount was listed as $0 (award floor), which typically indicates flexibility in award sizing depending on the quality and scope of proposals and available funds. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, indicating that the competition was open to a wide range of applicant types, subject to any further limits that might have been detailed in the full announcement. In practice, this kind of youth education opportunity often attracts proposals from schools, universities, local governments, tribes, nonprofit organizations, youth-serving groups, and other community-based entities that can deliver hands-on learning experiences or structured educational programming related to public lands and resource stewardship.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on July 23, 2014, created on August 19, 2014, and originally set to close on August 11, 2014, with a later updated closing date of August 29, 2014. The announcement was archived on September 30, 2014, meaning it is no longer open for applications. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement and application package, the listed point of contact was Christine Shaver, Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable by phone at 208-373-3817 or by email at cshaver@blm.gov.
