Opportunity Information: Apply for L19AS00049
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, offered a discretionary funding opportunity called "BLM Utah Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands" (Funding Opportunity Number L19AS00049). The program was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning successful applicants would be expected to work closely with BLM rather than simply receiving a hands-off grant. The activity area is natural resources, and the opportunity is listed under CFDA 15.243.
The central purpose of the opportunity was to support youth-focused conservation work on public lands in Utah by partnering with Qualified Youth and Conservation Corps. The program aimed to engage young people from local and nearby communities to help carry out projects that protect public lands while supporting the BLM multiple-use mission. A specific emphasis was placed on including tribal youth between ages 16 and 30 (inclusive). The program also explicitly included veterans up to age 35, highlighting a workforce-development and service component alongside the conservation goals. In practical terms, the funding was meant to enable on-the-ground crews to complete conservation projects that maintain, restore, or otherwise improve public-land resources and visitor-use areas, consistent with BLM priorities for stewardship and multiple use.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), with the caveat that applicants still needed to meet any additional eligibility details described in the full announcement. This typically means organizations such as conservation corps, youth service organizations, tribal entities, nonprofits, local governments, educational institutions, and other partners could apply, so long as they could credibly deliver youth or conservation corps programming and successfully coordinate with BLM on project implementation and compliance requirements.
In terms of funding scale and competitiveness, the award ceiling was $100,000 per award, and BLM anticipated making about 15 awards. The application window opened June 18, 2019 and closed August 19, 2019 at 5:00 PM Eastern Time, using a two-round structure. Round One applications were due July 18, 2019 at 5:00 PM Eastern, and Round Two applications were due August 19, 2019 at 5:00 PM Eastern. This rolling, two-deadline approach gave applicants an earlier opportunity to be considered while still allowing additional proposals to be submitted by the final deadline.
Overall, the opportunity was designed to fund partnerships that put youth and eligible veterans to work on meaningful conservation projects on Utah public lands, while simultaneously building skills, providing paid or structured service opportunities, and strengthening connections between communities (including tribal communities) and the stewardship of public resources.Apply for L19AS00049
