Opportunity Summary:
The Youth Fly Fishing Guide Camp - Bristol Bay, Alaska grant (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00018) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding opportunity focused on natural resources education and conservation in rural Alaska. The core purpose of the project was to educate rural youth about fisheries science, stream and watershed ecology, and habitat conservation tied specifically to the Nushagak River and the broader Bristol Bay region. In practical terms, the opportunity was designed to support a youth-oriented program that uses fly fishing and guide-camp style training as a hands-on way to teach how healthy rivers function, why fish habitat matters, and how conservation and resource stewardship connect to local communities and subsistence and sport fisheries.
Funding was offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project rather than operating as a hands-off funder. The total estimated funding available for the opportunity was $70,000, with an award ceiling of $70,000 and an award floor of $10,000. Only one award was expected. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible. The program fell under CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), indicating alignment with broader federal resource conservation and management goals.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. That means qualifying community-based nonprofits, conservation organizations, youth development nonprofits, and similar entities could apply, as long as they met the tax status requirement and were not colleges or universities applying in that capacity. The posting date and creation date were February 9, 2012, and the application deadline was March 2, 2012, with the opportunity later archived on March 31, 2012.
For applicants at the time, full instructions and the application package were provided through the announcement's application materials (referenced as being available via an "APPLICATION" tab). Assistance with access to the full announcement was offered through the BLM grants management contact: Sandee Smith, Grants Management Officer, at 907-271-5193 or s2smith@blm.gov.
