Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00133
The Bureau of Land Management Headquarters (HQ) Forest and Woodlands Resource Management opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L22AS00133) is a discretionary federal grant program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The program sits within the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.233, indicating it is part of BLM efforts to support forest and woodland resource management activities.
This notice of funding opportunity is open to a broad range of public and nonprofit entities, reflecting BLM's emphasis on partnering with governments, educational institutions, tribes, and mission-driven organizations. Eligible applicants include state, county, and local governments (including cities, townships, and special districts), independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and other Native American tribal organizations. Public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities are also eligible, as are nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status. The eligibility list is intentionally inclusive for public-serving entities, but the program has clear exclusions: individuals and for-profit organizations are explicitly ineligible to apply for awards under this NOFO.
A notable restriction in the description is that this NOFO does not support projects that involve entities hiring interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. The rationale provided is 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 specific authority. As a result, organizations that want to propose youth internship or crew-based work aligned to Youth Conservation Corps concepts are directed to use a different funding pathway. Specifically, eligible Youth Conservation Corps applicants are told to pursue projects under NOFO 15.243, titled BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands, rather than submitting those concepts to this forest and woodlands resource management opportunity.
The posting indicates an award ceiling of $25,000, signaling that projects funded under this particular announcement are likely intended to be relatively small in scope or to support targeted, discrete activities within forest and woodland management rather than large, multi-year programs. The original application closing date was February 17, 2022, and the opportunity record shows a creation date of December 16, 2021. While the summary information provided does not specify the exact number of awards expected, the cooperative agreement format, the natural resources focus, and the modest ceiling collectively suggest the program is meant to support partner-driven work that complements BLM's on-the-ground forest and woodland stewardship priorities, with BLM maintaining an active role in coordination, oversight, or technical involvement during project execution.
In practical terms, the key takeaways for potential applicants are straightforward: this is a BLM natural resources cooperative agreement opportunity focused on forest and woodlands resource management; it is limited to public entities, tribes, educational institutions, housing authorities, and nonprofits; it excludes individuals and for-profit organizations; and it should not be used as a vehicle for internship or conservation crew hiring under the Public Lands Corps framework, since youth-focused internship/crew projects must be routed through the separate BLM youth conservation funding opportunity (NOFO 15.243).Apply for L22AS00133
