Opportunity Summary:
The Outdoor Nation - A Youth Summit grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00093) is a discretionary federal funding program offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under the Recreation Resource Management CFDA program (15.225). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM would expect to have substantial involvement with the recipient in carrying out the project rather than simply issuing a standalone grant with minimal federal participation. The funding activity category is Education, and the project focus is on engaging young people with the outdoors and active living through approaches designed to be enjoyable, culturally relevant, and accessible to youth from a wide range of backgrounds and interests. The core idea is to meet youth where they are by using multiple platforms and engagement methods, with the goal of helping outdoor recreation and healthy, active lifestyles feel inviting and relevant rather than distant or exclusionary.
Funding is limited and competitive. The announcement anticipates a single award in total, with an estimated total program funding level of $100,000. Individual award sizes are expected to fall between $15,000 (award floor) and $20,000 (award ceiling). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for applicants that may not have significant unrestricted funds or a large base of private donors. Because only one award is expected, the selection is likely to be highly selective, emphasizing a strong project concept, clear youth engagement strategy, and an ability to deliver measurable outcomes aligned with the summit's purpose.
Eligibility is restricted to nonprofit organizations that have IRS recognition as a 501(c)(3), excluding institutions of higher education. In practical terms, this points to community-based nonprofits, youth-serving organizations, outdoor and conservation groups with youth programming, and similar entities that can demonstrate the capacity to plan and deliver a youth summit experience or related programming. The summit concept suggests programming that could include outdoor skills exposure, recreation opportunities, leadership development, health and wellness messaging, or partnerships with local outdoor providers, while keeping youth voice, cultural relevance, and inclusive participation at the center of the design.
Key dates indicate that the opportunity was posted and created on May 19, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 18, 2010, and an archive date of July 18, 2010. Applicants were directed to the full announcement and application instructions through Grants.gov. For questions or technical difficulty accessing the announcement, the listed contact is Lisa Ensley, Grants Management Officer, reachable at (202) 912-7098 or lisaensley@blm.gov.
