Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CA Conservation Lands Foundation 15.225 grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00163) is a discretionary Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding program offered through a cooperative agreement to support work tied to California's National Landscape Conservation System (NLCS). The NLCS is a network of specially designated public lands that Congress consolidated under one system through the Omnibus Public Lands Management Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-11). The purpose of the NLCS is to conserve, protect, and restore nationally significant landscapes with important cultural, ecological, and scientific values so they remain intact and meaningful for both current and future generations. In practice, this program reflects BLM's approach of managing these conservation designations at a landscape level while still operating under the agency's broader multiple-use mandate.
The opportunity is centered on BLM-managed NLCS units across California, which include a wide mix of protected and congressionally designated areas: national monuments, national conservation areas, wilderness areas, wilderness study areas, wild and scenic rivers, national scenic and historic trails, and conservation lands in the California Desert. The announcement emphasizes the scale of the system in California, describing 174 NLCS units in total. Within that portfolio are 87 wilderness areas covering about 3.8 million acres, 69 wilderness study areas spanning about 1.1 million acres, 8 wild and scenic rivers totaling roughly 100 miles, and 4 national scenic and historic trails extending about 580 miles. It also highlights 3 national monuments covering about 360,000 acres, 1 national conservation area of about 57,000 acres, the Headwaters Forest Reserve at about 7,400 acres, and 1 outstanding natural area of 19 acres, along with the broader set of conservation lands in California's desert regions. Taken together, the listing conveys that the funding is meant to support stewardship and conservation outcomes across an exceptionally diverse and geographically large set of public lands.
From a funding standpoint, the program anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $200,000. The award ceiling is $200,000 and the award floor is $500, indicating the agency could consider a range of project sizes up to the full amount available, but expected to fund a single recipient under this particular posting. The assistance listing (CFDA number 15.225) is associated with Recreation Resource Management, and the activity category is Natural Resources. The announcement states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which can make participation more accessible to nonprofit organizations that may not have flexible funds available for match.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally signals that BLM expects substantial involvement in the funded project, such as collaboration on planning, technical coordination, oversight, or shared implementation responsibilities, rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal agency engagement.
Key dates for this opportunity show it was posted and created on July 12, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 2, 2012. Additional details and the full announcement were made available through Grants.gov (the posting includes an additional information link pointing to http://www.grants.gov).
