Opportunity Summary:
The BLM National Land Conservation Conference Sponsorship (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00158) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Bureau of Land Management focused on natural resources and public outreach. The purpose is to support sponsorship of the National Land Conservation Conference, also known as the Land Trust Alliance Rally, which is described as the largest land conservation training and networking event in the United States. BLM views the conference as a high-impact platform to communicate its land conservation priorities and messages directly to a concentrated, influential audience of conservation professionals and leaders.
The conference typically draws close to 2,000 attendees each year, made up of land conservation leaders working to protect farms, ranches, forests, trails, natural areas, parks, and scenic landscapes within their communities. Because this audience is already deeply engaged in land and habitat protection, the sponsorship is positioned as a strategic way for BLM to build relationships, increase visibility, and reinforce federal land conservation initiatives among practitioners who influence local and regional conservation outcomes.
The opportunity anticipates a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $250,000. The award ceiling is $250,000 and the award floor is listed as $1. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the grant. The assistance listing is tied to CFDA 15.239 (Management Initiatives), aligning the award with broader departmental and agency management and partnership goals in the natural resources arena.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted (open to any applicant type), but the announcement clarifies that the award is expected to go to the nonprofit organization responsible for organizing and implementing the annual National Land Conservation Conference. In practical terms, this indicates BLM intended the sponsorship to be awarded to the entity that runs the event, reflecting the nature of a conference sponsorship rather than a competitive program with multiple varied project proposals.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on July 8, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 15, 2010. The archive date is July 8, 2011, meaning the listing was later moved into archived status after the active period ended.
