Opportunity Summary:
The Youth Education Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00040) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under CFDA 15.225, Recreation Resource Management. The purpose of the funding is to support environmental education programs for local youth, with a clear emphasis on programming that aligns with state education benchmarks and standards. In practical terms, applicants would be expected to propose educational activities that deliver measurable learning outcomes consistent with what states require for students at the relevant grade levels, rather than informal or purely recreational environmental programming.
This opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources and is structured as a grant, with BLM anticipating a single award. The total estimated funding listed for the opportunity is $50,000, but the award amount itself is fixed at $8,000, serving as both the award ceiling and the award floor. That means the program is designed around one grant at that specific level rather than a range of possible award sizes. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to provide matching funds to be eligible or competitive, which can lower barriers for schools and smaller nonprofit partners.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity may apply as a baseline rule, subject to clarifications that may appear in the full announcement. At the same time, the notice makes the intended audience very clear: it is primarily aimed at school districts and youth-focused nonprofit organizations that partner with schools or otherwise work directly with young people. Applicants that fall into those categories would generally be the most natural fit, especially if they can demonstrate experience delivering curriculum-aligned instruction, coordinating with educators, and meeting learning standards in an outdoor or environmental context.
Key dates show this was a time-limited announcement posted and created on March 1, 2013, with an original and current closing date of March 21, 2013, and an archive date of May 1, 2013. Those dates indicate the opportunity was active in 2013 and is now archived, but the details still provide a useful template for what BLM sought: youth environmental education connected to state standards, supported through a modest, fixed-amount grant.
For applicants needing official materials or instructions, the announcement points to an additional information link directing users to the application tab to download the full announcement and application package. The listed point of contact for access issues is Lori Anderson, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 406-896-5196 or by email at landerso@blm.gov.
