Opportunity Summary:
The Diverse Youth Environmental Outdoor Education and Camps grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00131) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding program run through the BLM Lower Potomac Field Station (LPFS). Its core purpose was to expand access to outdoor, natural resource-based learning for youth in the surrounding region, with a clear emphasis on serving at-risk and disadvantaged inner-city children and other socioeconomic groups that have traditionally been underrepresented in natural resources and outdoor recreation programs. In addition to giving young people meaningful exposure to public lands, the opportunity was also designed to strengthen local capacity by building partnerships between the BLM and community-based organizations.
Programmatically, the project envisioned a summer outdoor education experience that connects youth to BLM’s mission and day-to-day work while helping them explore nearby public lands. Participants would learn about natural resources and the role of public land management, and they would do so through hands-on experiences rather than classroom-only instruction. The opportunity also highlighted healthy lifestyle education as an explicit goal, pairing environmental learning with active outdoor recreation. Planned activities included multiple overnight campouts held at the Lower Potomac Field Station and at National Park Service sites, along with a variety of outdoor pursuits such as biking, hiking, canoeing, swimming, and related experiences intended to build comfort, skills, and confidence in outdoor settings.
From a funding and award standpoint, the BLM planned to make a single cooperative agreement award under the Education activity category (CFDA 15.225, Recreation Resource Management). The total funding available was $15,000, and the award floor and ceiling were both set at $15,000, meaning the selected applicant would receive that fixed amount if awarded. No cost sharing or matching was required, which reduced barriers for smaller community organizations that may not have access to additional cash or in-kind resources.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted on June 4, 2014, with an application deadline of July 7, 2014, and it was later archived on August 1, 2014. Applicants were directed to Grants.gov for application submission and full announcement details. For administrative or access issues, the listed grants management point of contact was Lisa Clayton, Grants Management Officer, reachable at (202) 912-7098 or ltclayton@blm.gov.
