Opportunity Summary:
The FY23 IIJA Bureau of Land Management Nevada (NV) Wildlife Program is a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), focused on natural resource work related to wildlife in Nevada. Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the BLM expects to have substantial involvement during the life of the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The program is associated with CFDA (Assistance Listing) 15.247 and is identified on Grants.gov as Funding Opportunity Number L23AS00152. The opportunity was created on February 7, 2023, and had an original application closing date of April 10, 2023. The listed award ceiling is $100,000, indicating that individual awards were not expected to exceed that amount.
Eligibility is limited to public and nonprofit entities and certain educational and tribal organizations. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; other tribal organizations; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories). Individuals and for-profit organizations are explicitly ineligible to apply under this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO), which is an important restriction for any private-sector firms or sole proprietors considering participation.
A key condition of this NOFO is that it does not support projects that involve hiring interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. The BLM notes that the Public Lands Corps Act (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II) is the only legislative authority that allows BLM to formally "hire" interns under that specific authority, and this particular wildlife program NOFO is not the vehicle for that type of youth or intern engagement. As a result, Youth Conservation Corps-style proposals that are centered on internships, youth crews, or similar workforce models under the Public Lands Corps framework must be submitted under a different funding opportunity: NOFO 15.243, titled BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands. In practical terms, this wildlife program funding is positioned for wildlife-related projects and partnerships in Nevada, but it draws a clear boundary against using these funds to run intern/crew hiring programs under the Public Lands Corps authority, directing those workforce-focused efforts to the separate youth conservation NOFO instead.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a Nevada-focused BLM wildlife program funding stream under the broader context of IIJA-era investments, structured as cooperative agreements, capped at $100,000 per award, open to a wide range of governmental, tribal, nonprofit, and educational institutions, but closed to individuals and for-profit entities and not intended to fund Public Lands Corps intern or crew hiring activities.
