Opportunity Summary:

The Hire Youth of Environmental Education grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00294) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement in the education activity category. The core purpose of the project is to expand the delivery of the Healthy Initiative for Kids in the Environment (HIKE) program by partnering with the Natural Science Collaborative. Through this collaboration, the project aims to bring more students into direct contact with nearby natural resources, strengthen students' emotional connections to their local environment, and provide practical guidance that supports healthy habits tied to personal fitness and overall health.

This opportunity anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $30,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $15,000 (award floor) and $30,000 (award ceiling). No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which means applicants were not obligated to contribute additional cash or in-kind support as a condition of eligibility, although voluntary contributions could still be relevant depending on the project design and the cooperative agreement structure.

Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. The listing is associated with CFDA 15.225, Recreation Resource Management, reflecting the BLM's focus on education and stewardship connected to recreation and resource management goals. Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, the BLM would typically expect to have substantial involvement in the project beyond what is common in a standard grant, often including coordination, guidance, or participation in planning and implementation as appropriate.

The opportunity was posted on August 19, 2010, and had a very short application window, with an original and current closing date of August 25, 2010. It was later archived on September 24, 2010. Applicants were directed to Grants.gov for the full announcement and application materials. For assistance accessing the announcement, the contact listed was Andralee Holden Hughes in the Purchasing Office, reachable by phone at 951-697-5254 or by email at judyholden hughes@blm.gov.
