Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00268
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Eastern States Recreation and Visitor Services grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L22AS00268) is a discretionary Department of the Interior funding program intended to support recreation and visitor service-related work on BLM-managed lands and sites in the BLM Eastern States jurisdiction. The award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means BLM expects to be substantially involved in the project during performance (for example, coordinating work plans, providing technical input, reviewing deliverables, or aligning on-site activities with BLM priorities). The opportunity sits in the Natural Resources funding activity category under CFDA (Assistance Listing) 15.225, and it was originally posted on March 10, 2022, with an original closing date of May 10, 2022. The listed maximum (ceiling) federal award amount is $100,000 per award.
Eligibility is limited to public and nonprofit and certain educational entities, not private commercial applicants. Specifically, eligible applicants include state, county, and city/township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education where that distinction is relevant). Individuals and for-profit organizations are explicitly ineligible to apply under this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). In practical terms, that means community groups typically need an eligible fiscal sponsor (such as a nonprofit or local government) if they want to participate, and businesses cannot be the applicant of record for an award under this announcement.
A key restriction in the announcement is that this NOFO is not meant to support entities hiring interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. The notice emphasizes that the Public Lands Corps Act (16 U.S.C., Chapter 37, Subchapter II - Public Lands Corps) is the legislative authority that allows BLM to "hire" interns under that specific framework, and that projects intending to use eligible Youth Conservation Corps or similar arrangements should be pursued under a different BLM funding announcement instead. The NOFO referenced for youth-focused conservation corps projects is Assistance Listing 15.243, titled BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands. In other words, this Recreation and Visitor Services funding is aimed at recreation/visitor services outcomes rather than staffing youth corps crews or intern positions through Public Lands Corps pathways.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a targeted BLM Eastern States funding stream for partner-led projects that improve, support, or enhance recreation management and visitor services, implemented in close coordination with BLM through a cooperative agreement. The program sets clear boundaries about who can apply (public entities, tribes, nonprofits, and eligible higher education institutions) and what it will not fund under this particular announcement (intern/crew hiring under the Public Lands Corps Act), steering youth corps style proposals to the separate youth conservation opportunity.Apply for L22AS00268
