Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "BLM CA Rancho Santa Ana Botanical Garden (RSABG) CONTINUATION" (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00177) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement within the Natural Resources funding activity category. It is designed to support continued work connected to the Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden's long-standing role in California native plant collection, cultivation, study, and public display, along with its focus on graduate training and research in plant systematics and evolution. In practical terms, the BLM is using this continuation award to help maintain or expand activities that strengthen knowledge and stewardship of native California plant resources and, by extension, improve the public's understanding of natural resources and land management activities occurring on public lands.
The core purpose of the project aligns with the Garden's mission: contributing to the appreciation, enjoyment, conservation, understanding, and thoughtful use of California's natural heritage. The announcement emphasizes that the supported efforts should help inform the public about natural resources and activities on public lands, which fits squarely within BLM's broader resource management responsibilities. Because the instrument is a cooperative agreement, applicants should expect substantial involvement or collaboration with the federal agency compared to a standard grant, often meaning coordinated planning, shared responsibilities, or joint oversight to ensure outcomes meet agency priorities.
Funding is expected to result in a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $750,000. The award ceiling is listed at $750,000 and the award floor at $500, indicating the agency anticipated a sizeable continuation-level investment rather than many small awards. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the financial barrier for eligible organizations and suggests BLM intended to fund the project without requiring the recipient to contribute a defined share of non-federal resources.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status that are not institutions of higher education. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, placing it within a federal assistance framework focused on conserving biological resources and supporting sound management of plants, wildlife, and habitats. Key administrative dates show the opportunity was posted on August 5, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 23, 2013, and it was later archived on October 1, 2018, meaning it is no longer open but remains part of the historical grants record.
