Opportunity Information: Apply for L20AS00096
The Arizona Wildlife Resource Management grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L20AS00096) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Its overall purpose is to support practical, on-the-ground and data-driven work that inventories, maintains, restores, and conserves wildlife species and their habitats on public lands in Arizona. The program emphasizes collaboration: projects are expected to be carried out in cooperation with federal and state wildlife agencies and other partner organizations, with the long-term goal of keeping public lands healthy and sustainable for future generations.
The scope of work is broad and focused on both habitat conditions and the information needed to manage those habitats well over time. Funded projects may include habitat restoration and rehabilitation efforts, including vegetation restoration, along with work that improves habitat resiliency in the face of stressors like drought and wildfire. Another key emphasis is improving habitat connectivity across jurisdictional boundaries, recognizing that wildlife movement and ecosystem function often span multiple landowners and management areas. The opportunity also supports identifying areas where habitat work could improve hunting access and wildlife-related recreational opportunities, tying habitat management to public use and outdoor traditions where appropriate.
In addition to field implementation, the grant supports monitoring and maintenance activities that make habitat improvements effective and measurable over the long term. This includes monitoring priority habitat areas, tracking the performance of existing habitat improvement projects, and maintaining datasets and geospatial information that managers rely on for planning, assessment, and reporting. Educational outreach is also an eligible activity, particularly efforts that help the public understand how drought, wildland fire, and insects or disease can affect wildlife habitats and conservation outcomes.
Eligible applicants include a wide mix of public and nonprofit entities: state, county, and local governments; special districts; independent school districts; public and state-controlled colleges and universities; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in those categories); and private institutions of higher education. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the BLM anticipates substantial involvement in the project during performance, such as coordination, technical input, or shared responsibilities, rather than a more hands-off grant model.
The opportunity was created on April 23, 2020, with an original closing date of June 23, 2020. The award ceiling was listed at $500,000, and the agency anticipated making approximately three awards. The assistance listing/CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 15.247, and the funding activity category is Natural Resources.Apply for L20AS00096
