Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00128
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Arizona Recreation and Visitor Services funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L22AS00128) is a discretionary Department of the Interior grant program intended to support recreation and visitor service work tied to BLM-managed public lands in Arizona. The award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the BLM expects to be actively involved during the project period rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The program falls under the Natural Resources activity area and is associated with CFDA/Assistance Listing 15.225. The opportunity was created on March 15, 2022, with an original application closing date of May 30, 2022, and it lists an award ceiling of up to $2,000,000 per award.
A key feature of this opportunity is who can and cannot apply. Individuals and for-profit organizations are explicitly ineligible. Eligible applicants are primarily public and nonprofit entities, including state, county, and local governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments; tribal organizations that are not federally recognized governments; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education, since colleges and universities are listed separately). In practical terms, the program is oriented toward governmental bodies, tribes, universities, and mission-driven organizations that can partner with BLM to deliver recreation and visitor-facing improvements or services.
The notice also includes an important restriction related to youth hiring and the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. This NOFO does not support applicants that want to hire interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps authority as part of the proposed project. The notice emphasizes that the Public Lands Corps Act (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II) is the specific legislative authority that allows BLM to "hire" interns under that framework, and that projects involving eligible Youth Conservation Corps activities must be pursued under a different funding opportunity: NOFO 15.243, titled BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands. In other words, even if an applicant is otherwise eligible for this Arizona Recreation and Visitor Services program, they should not structure their budget or work plan around Public Lands Corps-style intern or crew hiring; if youth corps or similar placements are central to the project concept, BLM is directing applicants to the separate youth conservation NOFO instead.
Because this is a cooperative agreement focused on recreation and visitor services, the general intent is to improve the public's experience on BLM lands and strengthen recreation management outcomes through partnerships. While the snippet provided does not list specific project types, the title and program framing typically align with efforts such as visitor information and orientation, recreation site or trail-related visitor service enhancements, interpretive or educational outreach, signage and wayfinding strategies, accessibility improvements tied to visitor use, volunteer coordination for recreation stewardship, and other services that help manage and support public recreation in a sustainable way. Applicants considering this opportunity would generally be expected to propose work that is clearly connected to BLM recreation and visitor service priorities in Arizona and that can be carried out in coordination with BLM staff under the cooperative agreement model.Apply for L22AS00128
