Opportunity Summary:
The Take it Outside Youth Initiatives opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00103) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement to support youth-focused projects in or connected to Glennallen, Alaska. The core purpose of the project was to introduce young people to real career pathways by placing them in practical, hands-on programs that happen outdoors and in community settings tied to public lands. Rather than being a classroom-only effort, the emphasis was on direct experience: getting youth involved in outdoor recreation opportunities and in activities related to natural and cultural resource management, which can include exposure to conservation work, stewardship projects, and learning about how land and heritage resources are protected and maintained.
This funding was categorized under Natural Resources and carried CFDA number 15.239 (Management Initiatives). The program anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $75,000. The award ceiling was $75,000 and the award floor was $11,500, indicating proposals could be funded at different levels depending on scope and design, but could not exceed the maximum. Cost sharing or matching was not required, which typically lowers the barrier for organizations that may not have additional funds available to contribute.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity could apply as long as it met any eligibility clarifications described in the full announcement. The posting date and creation date were both May 24, 2010, with an application deadline of June 11, 2010. The opportunity was later archived on July 30, 2010, reflecting that it was a time-limited competition that has since closed.
Because the award instrument was a cooperative agreement, applicants would generally be expected to work closely with BLM during the project. Cooperative agreements usually involve substantial federal involvement compared with a standard grant, which can mean coordination on project planning, implementation, access to sites or resources, safety and compliance requirements, and alignment with agency priorities for recreation, youth engagement, and stewardship.
For applicants needing the full announcement or help accessing it, the listing provided a Grants.gov link and identified a point of contact: Sandee Smith, Grants Management Officer, at 907-271-5193 and s2smith@blm.gov.
