Opportunity Information: Apply for L23AS00372
The IIJA Bureau of Land Management Arizona Threatened and Endangered Species Program (Funding Opportunity Number L23AS00372) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), focused on natural resource work that supports threatened and endangered species efforts in Arizona. Awards are made as cooperative agreements, which typically means the BLM expects substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing funds, such as collaboration on planning, implementation, monitoring, or reporting. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.246, aligning it with BLM natural resources assistance activities.
Funding under this notice is capped at an award ceiling of $250,000 per award. The notice was created on June 6, 2023, with an original application closing date of August 4, 2023. While the posting references “ExpectedAwards,” the number of anticipated awards is not specified in the provided source data, so applicants would normally look to the full notice for details on how many projects BLM expects to fund and what level of competition is anticipated.
Eligibility is broad across public and mission-driven entities, including state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Tribal governments; Tribal organizations that are not federally recognized governments; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; and nonprofit organizations, including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (in both cases, other than institutions of higher education). At the same time, the notice is explicit about two major restrictions: individuals are not eligible, and for-profit organizations are not eligible to apply for awards under this NOFO.
A key program limitation is that this NOFO is not designed to support organizations that want to hire interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. The notice explains that the Public Lands Corps Act (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II) is the legislative authority that allows BLM to “hire” interns under that framework, and this particular threatened and endangered species NOFO is not the vehicle for that kind of internship or crew-based engagement. Because of that, even eligible Youth Conservation Corps groups are directed away from this opportunity for those purposes and instead are told to pursue projects under a separate funding opportunity: NOFO 15.243, BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands. In practical terms, applicants proposing threatened and endangered species work in Arizona should structure projects around conservation outcomes and deliverables rather than building proposals that center on staffing youth crews or internship hiring mechanisms tied to Public Lands Corps authorities.Apply for L23AS00372
