Opportunity Information: Apply for L21AS00472
The Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Montana/Dakotas Wildlife Resource Management funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L21AS00472) is a discretionary grant program offered through a cooperative agreement to support natural resource and wildlife-related work in the BLM Montana/Dakotas area. It is tied to CFDA number 15.247 and is designed for projects that align with BLM wildlife resource management priorities on public lands, typically involving on-the-ground conservation, habitat management, monitoring, and related implementation activities carried out in coordination with BLM staff under the cooperative agreement model.
Eligibility is limited to public and nonprofit or educational entities, not private commercial applicants. Specifically, eligible applicants include 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; Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments); public housing authorities or Indian housing authorities; and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories). Individuals and for-profit organizations are explicitly ineligible to apply under this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO), which is an important screening requirement for anyone considering submitting a proposal.
A key restriction in this opportunity is that it does not support entities that plan to hire interns or crews under this funding. The notice emphasizes that the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993 (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II, Public Lands Corps) is the only legislative authority that allows BLM to effectively "hire" interns, meaning proposals that rely on intern or crew hiring as a core staffing approach are not appropriate for this program. Youth Conservation Corps or similar youth-focused conservation entities are directed to pursue youth internship and crew-based project concepts under a different funding opportunity instead, specifically NOFO 15.243, BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands. In practical terms, applicants to this wildlife resource management opportunity should plan staffing and field implementation in ways that comply with these limits and avoid structuring the project around intern or crew hiring.
The award ceiling listed for this opportunity is $200,000, indicating the maximum expected federal funding per award. The original closing date for applications was June 12, 2021, and the opportunity record shows a creation date of April 13, 2021. While the listing does not specify the exact number of anticipated awards, it establishes the basic financial scope and the administrative framework (cooperative agreement) that applicants should expect, including closer coordination with the BLM than is typical for a standard grant.
Overall, this NOFO is best suited for eligible governmental, tribal, nonprofit, and educational partners that can deliver wildlife and habitat management outcomes on BLM lands in Montana and the Dakotas, can work collaboratively with BLM under a cooperative agreement structure, and can implement the work without relying on intern or conservation crew hiring that would fall under Public Lands Corps authorities and the separate youth-focused NOFO.Apply for L21AS00472
