Opportunity Summary:

The SAN DIEGO ZOO SEED COLLECTION grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM CA NOI 10 0010) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior focused on natural resources work connected to fish, wildlife, and plant conservation and resource management (CFDA 15.231). The award is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the selected recipient should expect substantial involvement or coordination with the federal agency during the project rather than operating entirely independently. The opportunity was posted on March 12, 2010, with an original and final closing date of March 18, 2010, and it was later archived on April 30, 2010.

Funding under this announcement was structured as a single expected award, with a set funding level rather than a range: the award floor and ceiling are both listed at $50,000, indicating the intended project award amount was fixed at $50,000 for the selected applicant. While the listing includes an estimated total funding figure of $500,000, the same announcement also states only one award was expected and that the ceiling/floor were both $50,000; in practice, applicants would treat the ceiling/floor as the actionable number for this specific competition. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the applicant was not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.

Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (specifically excluding institutions of higher education). In other words, the competition was meant for qualifying charitable nonprofit entities rather than universities or for-profit organizations. The program title suggests that the project scope involved seed collection associated with the San Diego Zoo, which generally implies activities such as collecting, documenting, and conserving native plant seeds for long-term preservation and potential restoration use, although the provided source text replaces the full narrative description and does not spell out deliverables, geographic scope, or target species.

For applicants who needed help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Traci D. Thaler, reachable by email at tthaler@blm.gov (also shown as TTHALER@BLM.GOV). The announcement’s description field and additional information link are not included in the provided text (both are shown as placeholders), so details such as application package requirements, evaluation criteria, reporting expectations, and the exact project statement of work would normally have been found in the complete notice.
