Opportunity Summary:
The Wild Horse and Burro Training, Adoption and Marketing Project (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00142) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under CFDA 15.229, Wild Horse and Burro Resource Management. It was offered as a cooperative agreement within the Natural Resources funding activity category, meaning the award would involve active collaboration between the recipient and BLM rather than a hands-off grant. The announcement was posted on June 29, 2012, with an application deadline of July 30, 2012, and it was later archived on August 6, 2012.
The project is described as a continuation of an existing program and is structured as an "all or none" request for assistance. In practical terms, that signals BLM was seeking a single partner to carry out a defined, comprehensive scope of work rather than splitting pieces of the project among multiple awardees or accepting partial proposals. The core objective is to substantially increase, on an annual basis, the number of wild horses and burros that are trained and then offered for adoption to qualified individuals. Alongside training and placement, the title makes clear that adoption support and marketing/outreach are central components, reflecting an emphasis on increasing public adoption demand and improving placement outcomes, not just preparing animals for adoption.
Funding for the opportunity was significant. The total estimated funding associated with the announcement was $40,000,000, with an anticipated single award (Expected Awards: 1). The award size was expected to fall within a stated range, with a floor of $2,000,000 and a ceiling of $8,000,000. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, lowering the barrier for applicants by not requiring them to contribute a set percentage of project costs from non-federal sources.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity (for example, nonprofits, governments, tribes, educational institutions, or potentially private organizations), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that might have been included in the full announcement text. Applicants who needed help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact Susan Kaller, Grants and Agreements Specialist at BLM, by phone at (775) 861-6559 or by email at skaller@blm.gov.
