Opportunity Summary:
The "RECOVERY ACT - BLM OR/WA Youth Employment Opportunity - Spokane District Recreational Trails Projects" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM OR RFA 10 1965) was a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It was offered under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act) and focused on supporting recreational trails projects in the Spokane District, with an emphasis on youth employment. The assistance was to be provided through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the awardee would be expected to coordinate closely with the federal agency during project implementation rather than operating entirely independently.
The program fell under the Community Development funding activity category and was associated with CFDA 15.225, Recreation Resource Management. BLM anticipated making up to three awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $80,000. The award ceiling was listed as $80,000 and the award floor as $1, indicating flexibility in award sizes up to the total available amount. The announcement specified that there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive, which is often a key barrier removed for smaller organizations and community partners.
Eligibility was described as "unrestricted," meaning the opportunity was broadly open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement text. In practice, opportunities like this commonly attract applicants such as local governments, nonprofit organizations, youth conservation corps programs, educational institutions, and other community or workforce organizations capable of hiring and supervising youth crews while completing on-the-ground recreation and trail work in coordination with BLM.
