Opportunity Information: Apply for L23AS00273
The FY23 IIJA Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Montana/Dakota Wildlife Program (Funding Opportunity Number L23AS00273) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through the Bureau of Land Management. It supports natural resource and wildlife-related work in the BLM Montana/Dakota area and is funded under the broader context of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). Awards are offered as cooperative agreements, which typically means BLM expects substantial involvement in project execution, coordination, or oversight rather than acting only as a pass-through funder.
The opportunity is listed under CFDA 15.247 and is open to a broad range of public and nonprofit partners. 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; other Native American tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status. Individuals and for-profit organizations are explicitly ineligible to apply under this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), so applications must come from one of the eligible government, tribal, educational, or nonprofit entities.
A key restriction in this NOFO is that it does not support projects that involve hiring interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. The notice emphasizes that the Public Lands Corps Act (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II) is the only legislative authority that allows BLM to "hire" interns under that framework. As a result, even if an applicant is otherwise eligible for this wildlife program, proposals centered on youth internship hiring or conservation crews through Public Lands Corps authorities are not supported here. Instead, youth-focused organizations that want to propose projects involving youth conservation corps-type work are directed to apply under a different funding opportunity: NOFO 15.243, titled BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands. In practical terms, this wildlife program is meant for wildlife and habitat work carried out through eligible partners without using the Public Lands Corps intern/crew hiring mechanism.
The posting indicates an award ceiling of $250,000. The original application closing date was May 1, 2023, and the opportunity record was created on March 1, 2023.Apply for L23AS00273
