Opportunity Summary:
The CCS Mendocino Coast Audubon Based Seabird Colony Monitoring opportunity is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) cooperative agreement aimed at supporting hands-on protection, conservation, and restoration of seabird colonies located on the California Coastal National Monument (CCNM). The core idea is a collaborative partnership between BLM and the Mendocino Coast Audubon California Chapter, leveraging Audubon members and volunteers who are specifically interested in building knowledge about seabirds, monitoring and studying seabird populations, and helping communicate what is being learned to the broader public. The opportunity reflects Audubon's established track record in California of protecting, restoring, and helping expand seabird populations as part of a wider avian conservation mission, with BLM working alongside them to advance these outcomes on monument lands and waters.
This is a discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out (for example, coordination, shared planning, and oversight consistent with federal cooperative agreement structures). The activity category is Natural Resources, and it is tied to CFDA 15.238 (Challenge Cost Share). The notice indicates that no cost sharing or matching is required, which can make it more accessible for eligible nonprofit applicants that may not have funds available to meet a match requirement.
Funding is planned as a single award, with an expected award count of 1 and an estimated total funding amount of $99,000. The award ceiling is also listed as $99,000, with an award floor of $500, indicating the program is designed to fund one primary project up to the stated maximum amount. Eligibility is limited to nonprofits that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education, which narrows the applicant pool to qualifying charitable organizations rather than universities.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on September 6, 2012, with an original and current closing date of September 13, 2012, suggesting a very short application window at the time it was announced. Additional information was made available through Grants.gov, and applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact Leona B. Parker, Grants Management Officer, at 530-252-5338 or via email at lparker@blm.gov.
