Opportunity Summary:
The BLM New Mexico Wild Horse and Burro Holding Facility and Training Program (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00044) was a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), under CFDA 15.229 (Wild Horse and Burro Resource Management). Offered as a cooperative agreement, the program was designed to support a holding facility and training effort in New Mexico that pairs wild horse and burro care with structured work experience for inmates. The central purpose was twofold: to improve outcomes for wild horses and burros by preparing them for adoption through training and consistent handling, and to provide a rehabilitative, skills-based animal husbandry experience for participating inmates.
Funding for the opportunity was listed with an estimated total program amount of $2,000,000, with a single expected award. The award size for the anticipated project was set at a fixed level, with both the award ceiling and award floor listed as $125,000, indicating the intended award amount was $125,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was broad and included state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, as well as individuals. The activity category was identified as Natural Resources, reflecting BLMs statutory responsibilities for wild horse and burro management and the practical care, handling, and placement of these animals. Because the instrument type was a cooperative agreement, recipients could generally expect active federal involvement in some aspects of project implementation compared with a standard grant, consistent with typical cooperative agreement structures.
The timeline for the opportunity was short and clearly defined. It was posted and created on March 12, 2013, with an original and current closing date of March 27, 2013. The opportunity was later archived on April 30, 2013. Applicants were directed to use the application materials and full instructions available through the announcement (referenced as being accessible via an "APPLICATION" tab in the original posting). For technical issues accessing the announcement, the listed point of contact was Janet Yvonne Huff, Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable at 505-761-8941 or by email at jhuff@blm.gov.
In practical terms, the program aimed to fund a partnership framework where inmates would help care for and train wild horses and burros in a controlled holding facility environment, building positive handling and adoptability while also offering participants meaningful vocational experience in animal care. This connects BLMs adoption and placement goals with a structured rehabilitation-oriented work program, emphasizing humane care, training, and readiness for adoption as the primary animal-focused outcomes.
