Opportunity Summary:
The Native Seed Network grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00250) was issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and is focused on strengthening the conservation of native plants by improving the supply, availability, and management of native plant materials used for rehabilitation and ecological restoration. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at supporting work that helps land managers and restoration practitioners obtain appropriate native seeds and related plant materials, and use them more effectively in projects that repair or restore degraded landscapes. The overall theme is building better capacity and coordination around native plant materials so that restoration efforts can rely on ecologically suitable, well-managed native sources rather than substitutes that may not match local conditions.
This is a discretionary funding opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, through coordination, technical input, shared planning, or ongoing collaboration). The activity category is listed as Environment, and the CFDA number associated with the program is 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. The opportunity anticipated making one award, suggesting a single recipient would likely lead or coordinate the work, potentially in collaboration with partners, depending on the project design and the agreement terms.
Funding for the opportunity was estimated at $995,000 total, with an award ceiling of $995,000 and a minimum (floor) of $20,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated, meaning applicants were not required to provide matching funds to be eligible, although voluntary contributions or leveraged partner support could still be relevant depending on how proposals were evaluated under the full announcement.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. This points to the BLM seeking a mission-driven nonprofit partner capable of operating a network, building partnerships, managing information and resources, or otherwise supporting native seed and plant materials efforts at scale.
Key administrative dates show the announcement was posted and created on August 30, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 16, 2011. The archive date was October 16, 2011, which indicates the opportunity is no longer active and is being referenced as a historical listing.
