Opportunity Information: Apply for L21AS00471
The Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is offering a discretionary funding opportunity titled "BLM Headquarters Plant Conservation and Restoration Management" (Funding Opportunity Number L21AS00471). Funding is provided through cooperative agreements, which generally means BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The program is categorized under Natural Resources and is associated with CFDA 15.245. The opportunity was created on April 20, 2021, with an original application closing date of May 20, 2021. The listed award ceiling is $100,000, indicating that individual awards are not expected to exceed that amount.
Eligibility is broad across public-sector, education, tribal, and nonprofit entities, but it explicitly excludes individuals and for-profit organizations. 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; Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized tribal governments; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education). This makes the program accessible to a wide range of mission-driven organizations and governmental partners that are positioned to carry out plant conservation and restoration management work in coordination with BLM.
A key limitation in this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is that it does not support arrangements where the applicant would use the award to hire interns or field crews. The notice emphasizes that the only legislative authority that allows BLM to "hire" interns is the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993 (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II, Public Lands Corps). Because of that restriction, Youth Conservation Corps and similar youth-focused entities are directed not to apply under this NOFO for intern or crew-based projects. Instead, those organizations can only pursue projects developed under a separate funding announcement: NOFO 15.243, "BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands." In practical terms, applicants to this plant conservation and restoration management opportunity should design proposals that rely on eligible organizational staff, partners, and project structures that do not depend on intern or crew hiring models, and that align with BLM's plant conservation and restoration management priorities under a cooperative agreement framework.Apply for L21AS00471
