Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00213
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) California Plant Conservation and Restoration Management opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L22AS00213) is a discretionary federal funding program administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through BLM. It is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means BLM expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, coordinating on work plans, providing technical direction, or collaborating on implementation) rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The program sits in the Natural Resources funding activity area and is associated with CFDA (now often referenced as Assistance Listing) 15.245. The overall purpose, as indicated by the title and program framing, is to support plant conservation and restoration management work in California on or related to BLM-managed lands and priorities.
A wide range of public and nonprofit entities are eligible to apply. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city/township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; tribal organizations (including those other than federally recognized governments); public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (in both cases, other than institutions of higher education). This broad eligibility structure suggests BLM intended the program to accommodate partnerships that can deliver on-the-ground conservation outcomes, applied research, planning, monitoring, and related restoration support functions, depending on the specific project designs proposed.
Several restrictions are explicitly called out. Individuals and for-profit organizations are not eligible to apply under this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). In addition, the NOFO does not support entities that want to hire interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993 for work funded through this particular program. The Public Lands Corps Act of 1993 (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II, Public Lands Corps) is described as the only legislative authority BLM can use to "hire" interns under that specific mechanism, and the notice clarifies that youth or conservation corps style projects relying on that authority must be pursued under a different BLM funding opportunity: NOFO 15.243, BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands. In practical terms, this means applicants should not structure proposals around PLC hiring models for interns/crews under this NOFO, and any youth corps workforce component should be routed through the separate youth-focused opportunity instead.
The opportunity details provided indicate an original closing date of July 1, 2022, with a maximum award amount (award ceiling) of $500,000 per award. The source information lists "ExpectedAwards:" without a number, so the anticipated number of awards is not specified in the text provided. The record creation date is February 10, 2022. Because it is a cooperative agreement with a stated ceiling, applicants would typically be expected to propose a scoped, budgeted set of conservation and restoration activities that fit within that cap, align with BLM California priorities, and are feasible within the project timeline and administrative requirements that accompany federal financial assistance.
In summary, L22AS00213 is a BLM California natural resources funding opportunity focused on plant conservation and restoration management, open to governments, tribes, higher education institutions, and nonprofits, but closed to individuals and for-profit entities. It supports collaborative work through cooperative agreements up to $500,000, and it specifically excludes proposals that hinge on hiring interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act, directing those youth corps concepts instead to BLM’s separate youth conservation funding opportunity (15.243).Apply for L22AS00213
