Grasslans Charitable Foundation

Grasslans Charitable Foundation is a non-profit organization registered in SAM.gov since 2004, with a tax-exempt corporate structure focused on conservation and habitat improvement efforts. Located in Milnesand, New Mexico, the foundation specializes in environmental conservation projects, particularly working with private landowners to enhance wildlife habitats and support ecological restoration initiatives. While limited background information is available from the provided document, the foundation appears to be dedicated to collaborative conservation efforts that align with federal environmental priorities.

The organization has consistently received Cooperative Agreements from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) under the Partners for Fish and Wildlife program (CFDA 15.631), primarily operating in New Mexico and Texas. These grants, ranging from $100,000 to $150,000, enable Grasslans to serve as a fiscal agent for private landowners and facilitate habitat improvement projects targeting federal trust species, migratory birds, monarch butterflies, and native pollinators. The foundation's work involves enrolling 2-4 private landowners per project, implementing on-the-ground conservation efforts that typically cover 300-900 upland acres. Their projects include technical and financial assistance for habitat restoration, archaeological surveys, and ecosystem enhancement, with a strong emphasis on collaborating with various partners such as local tribes, the Department of Agriculture, state conservation offices, watershed alliances, and educational institutions. These efforts align with the Department of Interior's strategic goals of protecting resources, restoring lands and waters, and working collaboratively with multiple stakeholders.
