Opportunity Summary:
The North American Bird Conservation Initiative grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00334) was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding announcement designed to support wildlife management and conservation efforts across North America, with a particular emphasis on birds and the broader goals of state wildlife agencies. The central idea behind the cooperative agreement was to strengthen partnerships that help advance state wildlife conservation missions while improving how information is shared with the public and among conservation partners. By focusing on coordinated conservation and communication, the opportunity aimed to support better stewardship of public land resources and to improve the public experience on public lands through increased awareness, education, and engagement related to wildlife development and utilization.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM expected to have substantial involvement in the funded work rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant. In practice, that typically implies active collaboration between the recipient and the agency on project planning, implementation, and reporting, especially when the work involves shared conservation priorities, coordinated outreach, or joint information products. The funding activity category was Environment, and it was aligned with CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), which generally covers projects that conserve or manage fish and wildlife resources, improve habitat-related outcomes, and support resource stewardship.
Financially, the BLM anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. Individual awards under the announcement were expected to fall between $10,000 (award floor) and $50,000 (award ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility. The eligible applicant pool was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education, which narrows the competition to mission-driven conservation and stewardship nonprofits.
The announcement was posted and created on August 27, 2010, with an original and final closing date of September 10, 2010, and it was archived on October 10, 2010. Additional details and the full announcement were made available through Grants.gov (the listing referenced an Additional Information link at http://www.grants.gov). For access issues or questions related to the announcement, the listed point of contact was Lisa Clayton, Grants Management Officer at the BLM, reachable by phone at 202-912-7098 or by email at lisaclayton@blm.gov.
