Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM CA Sacramento County Sheriffs Department Rio Cosumnes Correctional Center" (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00027) is a discretionary funding announcement from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) focused on natural resources work under CFDA 15.229, Wild Horse and Burro Resource Management. The project is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning BLM and the recipient are expected to work closely together during planning and implementation rather than operating as a hands-off pass-through grant. The intent of the project is for BLM California to collaborate with the Rio Cosumnes Correctional Center (RCCC), a county-owned facility located in Elk Grove, California, to build and operate a program that combines wild horse holding, training, and adoption.
At the core of the proposed effort is establishing a facility-based pathway for preparing wild horses for adoption. RCCC would provide the site and operational capacity to hold horses and conduct training activities designed to improve adoptability. A key detail in the description is that, at least in the initial phase, RCCC would only hold the horses specifically being used in the training program, rather than serving as a general-purpose long-term holding site for larger numbers of animals. In practical terms, that narrows the early scope to a targeted, program-driven set of horses that are being actively worked with for training and eventual placement, which can help keep facility demands and animal inventory aligned with training throughput and adoption readiness.
The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $900,000. The award ceiling was set at $900,000 and the award floor at $500,000, signaling that BLM expected a fairly substantial, consolidated project budget rather than multiple smaller grants. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which typically lowers barriers for eligible public entities to participate because the recipient is not obligated to contribute a defined percentage of non-federal funds or in-kind resources to meet a match requirement. Eligibility was limited to county governments, aligning with the named partner and reinforcing that this funding was designed for local government implementation rather than private or nonprofit applicants.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on February 12, 2013, with an original and current closing date of March 12, 2013. It was later archived on October 1, 2017, which indicates it is no longer active for application, but remains part of the historical record of BLM funding opportunities. For applicants or stakeholders who needed access to the full announcement at the time, BLM pointed to Grants.gov as the source for additional information, and provided a direct contact for assistance: Leona B. Parker, Grants Management Officer, reachable at 530-252-5338 or via email at lparker@blm.gov.
