Opportunity Summary:
The Volunteer Trails Project (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00145) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant opportunity structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected recipient should expect to work closely with BLM as an active federal partner rather than operate completely independently. The core purpose of the project is to cooperatively develop and promote training opportunities and resources related to trails, with an emphasis on volunteer-focused trail work and the broader skills and materials needed to support trail programs. The announcement frames the work around collaboration with a partner organization and the use of appropriate outreach channels to get training and resources in front of the right audiences.
This opportunity falls under the Environment funding activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.225, Recreation Resource Management. The program anticipates making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $90,000. The funding range suggests an award floor of $20,000 and an award ceiling of $90,000, indicating BLM may consider proposals at different scales, but only a single project is expected to be funded through this particular posting. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not obligated to provide a financial match to be eligible, though applicants can sometimes still describe leveraged resources or in-kind contributions as part of their overall capacity.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have recognized 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. In practical terms, the applicant should be a qualifying nonprofit capable of delivering trail-related training products or programming and capable of coordinating outreach, partnerships, and resource development in a way that complements BLM trail and volunteer objectives. Because it is a cooperative agreement, the project concept should be written with collaboration in mind, including coordination plans, roles, and how the partner and BLM would jointly develop or disseminate training materials and opportunities.
