Opportunity Information: Apply for L21AS00377
The Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is offering a discretionary funding opportunity focused on threatened and endangered species work in California. The opportunity is listed as "Department of the Interior - Bureau of Land Management California Threatened and Endangered Species" under Funding Opportunity Number L21AS00377, and awards are planned as cooperative agreements. The program falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.246. Applications were originally due on June 8, 2021, and the maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $300,000.
This funding opportunity is designed for a broad set of public and nonprofit partners who can assist BLM with conservation-related efforts tied to threatened and endangered species on or connected to BLM-managed lands in California. Eligible applicants include state, county, and local governments (including cities/townships), 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, and other Native American tribal organizations. Both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status are also eligible, provided they are not applying as for-profit entities.
Two eligibility restrictions are emphasized. First, individuals and for-profit organizations are explicitly ineligible to apply under this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). Second, the NOFO does not support projects that involve entities hiring interns or crews under this program. The notice explains that the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993 is the only legislative authority that allows BLM to "hire" interns, meaning that internship or youth crew-style projects are not meant to be proposed under this threatened and endangered species NOFO. If an eligible Youth Conservation Corps wants to pursue projects involving youth crews or internships, the notice directs them instead to the separate NOFO 15.243, titled "BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands," which is the appropriate vehicle for that type of work.
Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, applicants should generally expect a more collaborative relationship with BLM than with a standard grant, typically involving substantial federal involvement in planning, coordination, technical input, or project execution. In practice, this opportunity is best suited for organizations that can directly carry out threatened and endangered species conservation activities in partnership with BLM, while avoiding proposals centered on staffing models that rely on interns or conservation crews, which the NOFO states are outside the scope of this particular program authority.Apply for L21AS00377
