Opportunity Information: Apply for L23AS00144
The FY23 IIJA Bureau of Land Management Nevada Youth and Conservation Corps opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L23AS00144) is a discretionary federal funding program administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It provides support through cooperative agreements for projects in the natural resources arena, with an emphasis on youth and conservation corps-style work tied to public lands. The opportunity is associated with CFDA/Assistance Listing 15.243 and is framed around conservation and stewardship activities that align with BLM priorities in Nevada.
A central point in the notice is eligibility: individuals and for-profit organizations are explicitly not allowed to apply under this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). Eligible applicant types are largely public and mission-driven entities, including state, county, and city or 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 Native American tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofits, whether or not they have IRS 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in that nonprofit category). In practical terms, the NOFO is designed to route funding to organizations that can carry out, oversee, and partner on public land stewardship and youth workforce development efforts rather than to private commercial actors or individual applicants.
The program also clarifies how youth interns and crews can be supported. While the NOFO supports entities that recruit interns or crews, it specifies that the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993 (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II) is the governing legal authority that permits BLM to recruit interns under this framework. Because of that statutory requirement, youth conservation corps applicants are limited to projects that are developed under the related BLM youth program authority referenced as NOFO 15.243, "BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands." In other words, the grant is not a general-purpose youth internship funding stream; it is tied to the Public Lands Corps structure and must be aligned with the specific BLM youth conservation program pathway identified in the notice.
From a funding standpoint, the award ceiling is listed at $350,000. The opportunity was created on February 21, 2023, and the original application closing date was April 24, 2023. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance, such as collaboration on planning, technical coordination, or oversight, rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The notice does not provide an expected number of awards in the supplied data, but applicants should treat the ceiling amount and the cooperative agreement structure as key parameters when scoping projects, building budgets, and planning staffing or corps deployments.
Overall, this opportunity is aimed at supporting Nevada-focused BLM conservation work by partnering with eligible governments, educational institutions, tribes, housing authorities, and nonprofits that can field youth crews or interns consistent with the Public Lands Corps Act and the BLM youth conservation program requirements under Assistance Listing 15.243.Apply for L23AS00144
