Opportunity Summary:
The Youth Conservation Group in Montana grant opportunity was a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, focused on natural resource work in Montana. The core purpose was to support a project where a youth group would help carry out revegetation along riparian corridors (streamside and riverbank areas) that had already been treated to control Russian olive, an invasive plant that can outcompete native vegetation and alter habitat conditions. In practical terms, the funding was aimed at getting youth crews into the field to help restore these sensitive areas after invasive removal, helping native plant communities re-establish and stabilizing streambanks and associated wildlife habitat.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically means the federal agency anticipated being more directly involved in coordinating or overseeing aspects of the work compared to a traditional pass-through award. The funding activity category was Natural Resources, and the CFDA program number associated with it was 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The announcement anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $30,000. The maximum award amount (ceiling) was $30,000, and the minimum award amount (floor) was $2,500. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide additional non-federal funds to be eligible.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was broadly open to any type of applicant, subject to any additional eligibility details that may have been included in the full announcement on Grants.gov. The posting date and creation date were both February 4, 2010. The original and current closing date for applications was March 1, 2010, and the opportunity was archived on April 1, 2010, indicating it is no longer open for applications.
For applicants or interested parties who needed the full announcement, the notice directed people to Grants.gov (www.grants.gov) for the complete details. A point of contact was provided for access issues: Lori J. Anderson (landerso@blm.gov), listed as the contact associated with the announcement.
