Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00252
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Alaska Plant Conservation and Restoration Management opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L22AS00252; CFDA 15.245) is a discretionary federal funding program focused on natural resource work tied to plant conservation and on-the-ground restoration management in Alaska. Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which generally means BLM expects to be substantially involved during the project period (for example, through technical coordination, shared planning, or oversight) rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal interaction. The notice was created on February 28, 2022, and the original application closing date was April 29, 2022. The listed award ceiling is $100,000, indicating projects are expected to be relatively targeted or modular in scope, such as site-specific restoration actions, plant conservation planning, or implementation-oriented management efforts that align with BLM priorities.
Eligibility is broad across public and mission-driven entities, but it explicitly excludes individuals and for-profit organizations. Eligible applicant types include state, county, and city or 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; Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized tribal governments; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in that nonprofit category). This mix signals the program is designed for organizations with the administrative capacity to manage federal assistance awards and to carry out conservation or restoration work at a professional level, often in coordination with land managers.
A key restriction in the notice is that this funding opportunity does not support applicants who plan to hire 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, and that projects involving eligible Youth Conservation Corps participants must instead be pursued through a different BLM opportunity: NOFO 15.243, titled BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands. Practically, this means applicants should not build proposals around youth corps staffing models, paid internships, or similar workforce structures that rely on Public Lands Corps authority under this NOFO. Organizations that want to incorporate youth corps or internship components need to route that part of the work through the separate youth-focused funding announcement, rather than attempting to include it here.
In summary, this opportunity is a BLM Alaska natural resources cooperative agreement program supporting plant conservation and restoration management activities, with awards up to $100,000, aimed at governments, tribes, universities, and nonprofits. It is not open to individuals or for-profit entities, and it specifically steers any intern or youth crew-based project concepts to the separate BLM youth conservation NOFO rather than allowing them under this plant conservation and restoration announcement.Apply for L22AS00252
