Opportunity Information: Apply for L17AS00172
The "BLM AZ, ASD PLC Conservation Project" (Funding Opportunity Number L17AS00172) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The opportunity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.243, which is commonly tied to BLM assistance programs.
At its core, this opportunity is focused on building partnerships that create paid work and hands-on training opportunities for young people, with experiences taking place within BLM programs and also through public-private partnerships. The intent is workforce development tied to conservation and public lands-related work, implying projects that can both accomplish on-the-ground natural resource objectives and help participants gain practical skills, exposure to career pathways, and professional mentoring in land management and conservation settings. While the short description does not list specific tasks, the framing suggests activities typical of conservation corps or similar youth-focused field programs (for example, stewardship projects, habitat improvement, restoration support, recreation site work, monitoring assistance, or other mission-aligned natural resource efforts), implemented in coordination with BLM staff.
The eligibility is listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional eligibility details that may be included in the full announcement. In practice, opportunities like this often attract applicants such as nonprofits, conservation corps organizations, education and workforce development organizations, tribal entities, state or local governments, and other partners capable of recruiting, training, supervising, and supporting youth crews or individual placements in conservation-related roles.
The opportunity was created on June 15, 2017, with an original application closing date of August 14, 2017. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $500,000, and the BLM anticipated making about five awards. This indicates a moderate-sized competitive opportunity designed to fund multiple partner-led projects or placements rather than a single large statewide effort, with the cooperative agreement mechanism emphasizing active collaboration between the awardees and BLM to meet both conservation outcomes and youth development goals.Apply for L17AS00172
