Opportunity Information: Apply for L21AS00421
The Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is offering a discretionary funding opportunity titled "California Wildlife Resource Management" (Funding Opportunity Number L21AS00421) under CFDA/Assistance Listing 15.247. The award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance (for example, coordination on work plans, technical direction, or shared responsibilities), rather than simply providing funds with minimal interaction. The focus area is natural resources, specifically wildlife resource management activities on BLM-managed lands in California.
Eligibility is limited to public and nonprofit sectors and certain education and tribal entities. Eligible applicants include state, county, city/township, and 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 tribes; 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, which are listed separately). Individuals and for-profit organizations are explicitly ineligible to apply under this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), so proposals must come from one of the listed organization types.
A key restriction in this NOFO is that it does not support projects where the applicant proposes to hire interns or crews. BLM cites the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993 (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II, Public Lands Corps) as the only legislative authority that allows BLM to "hire" interns. As a result, youth internship or conservation crew concepts must be pursued under a different BLM opportunity: NOFO 15.243, "BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands." In practical terms, applicants to this wildlife resource management NOFO should shape projects around wildlife management outcomes and technical or programmatic work rather than staffing models centered on interns or youth crews.
The funding ceiling listed for awards is $100,000, indicating the maximum expected federal share per award under this announcement. The opportunity was created on April 9, 2021, with an original closing date of June 8, 2021. While the record does not specify the number of expected awards, the ceiling and cooperative agreement structure suggest competitive, project-based awards intended to support on-the-ground wildlife conservation or management work aligned with BLM California priorities, carried out by eligible governmental, tribal, nonprofit, or educational partners.Apply for L21AS00421
