Opportunity Summary:
The Native Seed and Seedling Development Project (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00038) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant opportunity focused on strengthening the supply of native seed and plant materials used to manage and restore public lands in the Montana and Dakotas region. The core purpose is to ensure that land managers have access to appropriate native species materials for activities such as rehabilitation, restoration, and long-term stewardship of public landscapes, with an emphasis on native plant conservation and resource management.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM anticipated substantial involvement in the funded work rather than a hands-off award. The program falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The announcement projected a single expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $200,000. Individual award amounts were structured with a stated ceiling of $30,000 and a floor of $2,500. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which typically reduces barriers to participation for organizations that may not have access to non-federal matching resources.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, indicating the competition was open to a broad range of applicant types (such as nonprofits, academic institutions, tribal entities, state or local governments, or potentially private organizations), subject to any further clarifications contained in the full notice on Grants.gov. The opportunity was posted on March 2, 2012, and applications were due by April 2, 2012, with the notice later archived on May 1, 2012. Applicants seeking the complete announcement and requirements were directed to Grants.gov via the additional information link provided in the posting.
For administrative or access issues related to retrieving the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Lori Anderson, Grants Management Officer at the BLM, reachable by phone at 406-896-5196 or by email at landerso@blm.gov.
