Opportunity Summary:
The "Recovery Act - Fence Modification Utilizing Youth Groups" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM ID RFA 09 1358) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act framework. The project described is straightforward: it supports a fence modification effort, with an emphasis on completing the work by involving youth groups. In practical terms, the intent is to fund on-the-ground conservation-related infrastructure improvements that align with natural resource management goals, while also creating meaningful service and work experiences for young people.
The funding instrument for this announcement is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared to a standard grant. The activity category is labeled "Recovery Act," and the CFDA (now often referenced as Assistance Listing) number tied to the opportunity is 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. That CFDA context signals that the fence modification work is expected to support broader conservation outcomes, such as reducing wildlife entanglement risks, improving habitat connectivity, or bringing existing fences into better alignment with wildlife-friendly standards used in rangeland and habitat management.
This opportunity was posted on August 7, 2009, with a closing date of August 21, 2009 (the original and current closing dates are the same). It was later archived on September 21, 2009. The announcement anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The estimated total funding amount is listed as $20,000, and the award floor and ceiling are also shown as 20, which appears to be a formatting or data-entry artifact in the listing because it conflicts with the stated $20,000 total. Based on typical Grants.gov records, the meaningful figure to rely on here is the estimated total funding of $20,000 for the project, with the single award expectation reinforcing the idea of one recipient carrying out the work.
Eligibility is described as "Unrestricted," meaning it is open to any type of applicant, subject to any clarifications that would have been provided in the full text of the announcement on Grants.gov. The listing also states that there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. Applicants were directed to Grants.gov for full details, instructions, and any additional eligibility or submission requirements.
