Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) funding opportunity titled "BLM Conservation of Rare Plants in New Mexico" (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00298) is a discretionary grant offered through a cooperative agreement to support conservation and restoration work focused on rare plant species. The overall purpose is to create a practical framework for cooperation and coordination that strengthens the ability to conserve rare plants, with an emphasis on building long-term plant conservation capacity rather than funding one-off, isolated efforts. Although the title highlights New Mexico, the description frames the effort as part of a broader national approach to improving rare plant conservation capacity, using collaboration as the core delivery method.
The opportunity is designed to engage and strengthen community-based plant conservation organizations by directly involving them in on-the-ground and programmatic plant conservation activities that deliver public benefit. In other words, BLM is looking to partner with organizations that can help expand the skills, reach, and effectiveness of the plant conservation community, while also advancing tangible conservation outcomes such as restoration actions, conservation planning, coordination among partners, and related capacity-building work. Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, applicants should expect substantial involvement by BLM during the project, typically meaning shared responsibilities, coordination, and active federal participation in project execution rather than a hands-off grant relationship.
BLM anticipated making one award under this announcement. The estimated total funding amount for the opportunity was $750,000, with individual award amounts expected to fall between an award floor of $50,000 and an award ceiling of $150,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which reduces barriers for applicants that may not have access to non-federal matching funds. The funding activity category is Environment and Natural Resources, and the opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), indicating it aligns with broader federal resource management and conservation objectives.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have been included in the full announcement instructions. Key dates show the opportunity was posted on September 4, 2012, with an original and current closing date of September 18, 2012, and an archive date of October 4, 2012, indicating the application window was relatively short.
Applicants seeking the full details, including specific project expectations, required forms, selection criteria, and application instructions, were directed to use the "APPLICATION" tab in the original posting to download the full announcement and application package.
