Opportunity Summary:
The BLM CA RANCHO SANTA ANA BOTANIC GARDEN grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM CA NOI 09 0010) was a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, specifically tied to the Bureau of Land Management's environmental and conservation mission. The opportunity was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the project was expected to involve substantial involvement or collaboration from the federal agency during performance rather than being a simple pass-through award. The central purpose of the award was to support seed collection activities carried out in alignment with Bureau of Land Management protocols under the Seeds of Success program, a standardized national effort focused on collecting native plant seeds for conservation, restoration, and long-term resource management needs.
The project scope emphasized seed collection conducted according to BLM-defined methods and quality standards, reflecting the program's focus on consistency, scientific rigor, and traceability. In practical terms, that typically implies careful selection of target native species and populations, adherence to timing requirements to ensure seed maturity, field collection practices that protect wild populations, proper documentation of collection locations and habitat conditions, and post-collection handling steps designed to preserve viability and maintain genetic integrity. Because the description explicitly references Seeds of Success protocols, the work would be expected to feed into broader federal land stewardship and ecological restoration objectives, such as rehabilitating degraded habitats, supporting native plant communities, and ensuring that restoration seed sources are well-documented and appropriately sourced.
Funding for the opportunity was estimated at $500,000 in total, with the agency anticipating a single award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The assistance listing associated with this opportunity was CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), which aligns with projects that conserve plant resources and support habitat and ecosystem management activities.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations recognized as 501(c)(3) by the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted on August 5, 2009, with an original and final closing date of August 21, 2009, and it was later archived on September 30, 2009. Additional details and the full announcement were referenced as available through Grants.gov. For help accessing the announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Traci D. Thaler at tthaler@blm.gov.
