Opportunity Summary:
The "Wild Horse and Burro Short Term Holding and Educational Facility" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number ES NOI 10 1695) was a discretionary Department of the Interior program, administered in connection with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Wild Horse and Burro Program. It was offered as a cooperative agreement under the natural resources funding activity category, with an estimated total funding amount of $400,000 and an expectation of one award. The overall intent was to support a project that combines short-term holding capacity for mustangs or wild horses with an educational, hands-on learning component designed to strengthen public understanding of the BLM program and increase adoption or placement of animals into private ownership.
At the core of the opportunity was the idea that working directly with wild horses (and related program operations) can be used as a practical educational tool, especially for students. The proposal described in the announcement emphasized hands-on learning experiences where students could gain exposure to horse-related management skills while also learning how the BLM and the Wild Horse and Burro Program operate. In addition to teaching animal handling and management concepts, the program was framed as a way to introduce students to career paths within the BLM, the Wild Horse and Burro Program, and related scientific fields. A key expected outcome was that meaningful interaction and education would improve students attitudes toward the agency and the program, building longer-term public support and understanding.
Another major objective was increasing the number of wild horses placed into private ownership. While the announcement does not spell out a specific adoption mechanism in the text provided, the purpose is clearly aligned with the broader BLM strategy of moving animals from holding into private care through placement efforts. By pairing a short-term holding and care function with educational programming, the project concept suggests a facility and program that not only houses animals temporarily but also uses that setting to engage students, teach responsible management, and potentially support adoption readiness or outreach efforts that lead to more placements.
In terms of eligibility and administrative details, the opportunity was open in an unrestricted way in general, but the eligibility text specifically notes nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). No cost sharing or matching requirement was listed. The funding opportunity was posted and created on January 22, 2010, with an original and current closing date of February 28, 2010, and it was archived on March 28, 2010. The CFDA listing associated with the opportunity was 15.229, Wild Horse and Burro Resource Management. Additional details and the full announcement were available through Grants.gov at the time, and the contact listed for access issues or questions was Velvette Clayton (vclayton@blm.gov).
