About the company
Alternare AC, a foreign-owned non-profit organization based in Mexico, operates as a prime recipient of federal grants focused on monarch butterfly conservation and forest management in the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, with all ten awards in the source data rendered as prime grants (100% prime posture, zero sub-award activity). The organization carries minority-owned and community development corporation designations.
Alternare's entire federal footprint centers on two customer agencies split evenly across recent awards. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service (via the Washington Office Acquisitions and field operations) has issued four grants, while the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Region 9 Headquarters has issued four grants. The remaining two awards derive from the parent agencies' broader acquisitions functions. Total obligated dollars across all ten awards stand at $3.3 million.
Alternare's capability portfolio reflects place-based habitat and livelihood work in Mexico's monarch overwintering grounds. A $639,220 Project Grant from DOI Fish and Wildlife Service under the Latin America and Caribbean Regional program (CFDA 15.640) awarded October 1, 2023, funds two-year conservation and restoration of the MBBR through community-based forest management across 3,024 hectares, reforestation of 60 hectares, training of 30 local leaders, sustainable production instruction for 300 farmers, technical support to 75 families across six sustainable enterprises, and third-party evaluation of Alternare's training program. An August 12, 2021 Project Grant from DOI Fish and Wildlife Service Region 9 supported two-year work including reforestation of 140 hectares, production of 40,000 trees in partnership with community nurseries, establishment of environmental service payments for five communities, water quality monitoring training across 15 communities, youth leadership training for 50 local participants, sustainable production training for 200 farmers, and technical support to 150 families in organic blackberry enterprises. A June 9, 2026 Project Grant (ultimate completion May 31, 2031) combines expert capacity building, community awareness workshops, and forest conservation and restoration activities across the reserve. An August 17, 2023 Cooperative Agreement addresses beekeeping expansion and forest protection. A terminated July 23, 2024 Cooperative Agreement originally targeted community empowerment through natural resource management.
Award volume has been sparse and episodic — two awards in 2019, one in 2021, two in 2023, one in 2024, and one in 2026 — with no sustained annual pipeline visible in the source data.
