Opportunity Information: Apply for L21AS00319
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), within the Department of the Interior, offered a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Department of the Interior - Bureau of Land Management New Mexico/Oklahoma/Kansas/Texas (NM) Recreation and Visitor Services" under Funding Opportunity Number L21AS00319. The program is focused on natural resources (CFDA 15.225) and is intended to support recreation and visitor service efforts connected to BLM-managed public lands in the New Mexico/Oklahoma/Kansas/Texas region. Awards are made through a cooperative agreement, which typically means BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work, such as coordination, technical input, or shared responsibilities during project implementation rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal engagement.
The opportunity was created on February 19, 2021, with an original application closing date of April 20, 2021. The listed award ceiling is $50,000, indicating that individual project awards were not expected to exceed that amount. While the notice indicates there would be awards, the exact number of expected awards is not specified in the provided information.
Eligibility is broad across public and nonprofit sectors, reflecting the kinds of partners that commonly help deliver recreation and visitor services on public lands. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; and independent school districts. It also includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education as well as private institutions of higher education. Tribal entities are eligible, including federally recognized Native American tribal governments, as well as Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized governments. Housing-related public entities are also included, specifically public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities. Nonprofits are eligible whether or not they hold 501(c)(3) status, as long as they are not institutions of higher education.
A key restriction is that individuals and for-profit organizations are explicitly ineligible to apply under this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). In practical terms, that means the program is designed for government, tribal, academic, and nonprofit partners rather than private businesses or individual applicants. If a project idea involves a private contractor, that role would generally need to be structured as a vendor or subcontractor relationship under an eligible applicant rather than the contractor applying directly for the cooperative agreement.
In essence, this funding opportunity supported collaboration with BLM to improve or provide recreation and visitor services tied to public land management priorities in the four-state BLM New Mexico/Oklahoma/Kansas/Texas jurisdiction, with relatively modest project-scale funding (up to $50,000) and a cooperative agreement structure that emphasizes active partnership with the agency during project delivery.Apply for L21AS00319
