Opportunity Summary:
The Lost Coast Youth Education - King Range National Conservation Area opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00066) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant offered through a cooperative agreement to support youth education and stewardship programming on California's northern coast. The project, called the Lost Coast Education Youth Program, was designed to develop and expand hands-on education programs for young people across the Mattole River watershed and surrounding public lands, including the King Range National Conservation Area (NCA), the California Coastal National Monument (CCNM), and the King Range Wilderness. The overall aim was to connect youth with the outdoors in a structured way that builds knowledge, practical skills, and long-term stewardship values tied directly to BLM-managed landscapes.
Programmatically, the focus area for education and activities was fish, wildlife, and plant conservation resource management, aligning with CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 15.231. In practical terms, that emphasis signals projects such as habitat and watershed education, species and plant community awareness, conservation practices, and field-based learning that helps youth understand how land managers balance recreation, habitat protection, and cultural and natural resource conservation. The opportunity also fit within BLM's Youth Initiative Incentive Funding Program, which is intended to expose young people to career pathways by engaging them in outdoor projects that teach about natural and cultural resources while encouraging responsible land stewardship. Because the funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, BLM anticipated an active partnership role rather than a hands-off grant relationship, meaning the selected nonprofit would work closely with BLM staff in planning and delivering the education programming.
Funding details indicate BLM expected to make a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $200,000. The award ceiling was $200,000 and the award floor was $500, suggesting the agency could fund a smaller proposal but was prepared to fully fund a substantial program up to the ceiling. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, which generally lowers the barrier for eligible organizations that may not have the ability to provide cash or in-kind match. Eligible applicants were limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), reflecting a clear intent to partner with community-based nonprofit capacity rather than universities or for-profit providers.
Timing-wise, the opportunity was posted and created on May 11, 2010, with an application deadline of June 11, 2010. The listing shows it was archived on June 30, 2010, which typically means the solicitation period had ended and the opportunity was no longer accepting applications. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the point of contact listed was Leona B. Parker at 530-252-5338 and lparker@blm.gov, and the general posting location referenced was Grants.gov.
