Opportunity Summary:
The National Landscape Conservation System Public Land Restoration Youth Corps Teams opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00052) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. Its core purpose was to support a partner organization in running youth corps teams that would place young adults into paid, structured work experiences focused on restoring and caring for public lands within the National Landscape Conservation System. The program emphasized creating a safe, educational job setting that helps young adults build real workplace skills, explore a range of job tasks, and strengthen their readiness to enter the broader workforce.
BLM anticipated making one award under this announcement, with an estimated total program funding level of about $1,800,000. Individual awards could be as high as $300,000, and there was no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which meant applicants were not obligated to bring non-federal dollars as a condition of eligibility, though project budgets still needed to be reasonable and aligned with the goals of the program.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations holding 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. Because the instrument type was a cooperative agreement, BLM expected to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing funds, typically through collaboration on planning, coordination, oversight, and alignment of restoration work with agency priorities and public land management needs.
This funding opportunity was posted and created on March 14, 2013, with an original and final application deadline of March 29, 2013. It was later archived on April 29, 2013. Applicants were directed to retrieve full instructions and the application package through the announcement’s application materials, and technical access issues were handled through the listed contact: Gretchen Eykelbosh, Grants and Agreements Specialist, at 775-861-6740 or geykelbosh@blm.gov.
