About this opportunity
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is seeking applicants for its FY25 IIJA/IRA California Threatened and Endangered Species Program, which aims to protect biodiversity, slow species extinction rates, and increase climate resilience. The program will award approximately 10 cooperative agreements totaling $1 million, with individual awards ranging from $40,000 to $250,000. Eligible applicants include state/local governments, higher education institutions, Native American tribal organizations, and nonprofits. Key focus areas include implementing on-the-ground conservation actions, conducting species monitoring and inventory, supporting state wildlife objectives, and engaging underserved communities. Applications must be submitted through Grants.gov by February 28, 2025 and will be evaluated based on technical approach, statement of need, public benefit, and applicant qualifications.
The projects supported through this opportunity will be performed on public lands in California managed by the BLM, with a performance period of August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2030. The program requires compliance with Buy America preferences for infrastructure projects and limits indirect costs to 17.5% for CESU partners, but does not require cost sharing.
