Opportunity Information: Apply for L20AS00045
The BLM CA Threatened and Endangered Species grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L20AS00045) is a discretionary federal funding program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It is designed to support on-the-ground conservation actions and related efforts that help conserve, recover, and manage threatened and endangered species, as well as other sensitive species and their habitats on public lands. The work is tied closely to the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and focuses on both species that are already federally listed and species that are rare or declining but not yet listed, with an explicit goal of preventing future listings where possible through proactive conservation.
This opportunity uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which generally indicates that BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the funded project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. In practice, that often means projects are planned and carried out in coordination with BLM staff, align with BLM land management priorities, and may involve shared decision-making or technical collaboration during implementation. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA (now commonly referenced as an Assistance Listing) is 15.246.
The program context emphasized in the notice is the scale and importance of habitat management on BLM lands. BLM manages habitat for more than 430 wildlife, fish, and plant species that are listed as threatened or endangered under the ESA, and at least 15 additional species that have been identified as candidates for listing. The grant’s overarching purpose is to support conservation and recovery of these species and to sustain or improve the habitat conditions they need to persist over the long term. It also highlights that the threatened and endangered species program shares responsibility with other BLM programs and external partners, reflecting that effective species conservation typically requires coordination across disciplines such as habitat restoration, invasive species management, fire and fuels planning, hydrology, recreation management, and monitoring and research.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to applicants of many types (for example, governments, nonprofits, universities, tribes, and potentially private entities), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that would have been provided in the full announcement text. The opportunity anticipated multiple awards, with an expected total of 24 awards, and a maximum award ceiling of $300,000 per award. The announcement was created on February 26, 2020, with an original application closing date of April 28, 2020. Overall, the opportunity is aimed at funding collaborative, science-informed conservation projects that measurably benefit ESA-listed species, BLM sensitive species, and other rare species on public lands, while also supporting the broader goal of keeping at-risk species from needing federal listing in the future.Apply for L20AS00045
