Opportunity Information: Apply for L19AS00013
The BLM WY Wildlife Resource Management Projects grant (Funding Opportunity Number L19AS00013) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It is offered through a cooperative agreement, which generally means BLM expects to be actively involved in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as coordinating on implementation, priorities, and reporting. The program sits within the Natural Resources funding activity area (CFDA 15.247) and is designed to support on-the-ground and planning efforts that strengthen wildlife resources in Wyoming while also improving public benefits tied to those resources.
The core purpose of the opportunity is to expand wildlife-related recreation and improve the management foundations that support it. Projects are intended to increase wildlife hunting and wildlife viewing opportunities and to improve access where it supports these uses. A major emphasis is collaboration with state wildlife agencies to help meet wildlife population objectives, which can include work that supports desired population levels, distribution, and habitat conditions for priority species. In addition to biological outcomes, the opportunity explicitly connects wildlife management to rural economic development, encouraging projects that help rural communities capture or expand economic opportunities related to wildlife (for example, through improved habitat and access that supports hunting, tourism, and wildlife viewing).
On-the-ground habitat improvement is a central theme. The solicitation highlights habitat work for upland game, waterfowl, big game, and other watchable wildlife, which can include restoration, enhancement, or management actions that improve habitat quality and function. The opportunity also encourages partnerships with conservation stewardship organizations to increase habitat quality, signaling that collaborative, multi-partner projects are welcome and likely aligned with BLM implementation needs across landscapes and jurisdictions.
Beyond habitat and recreation, the opportunity includes a practical management objective: producing consistent data to streamline energy and grazing permitting and to support land use planning. This points to projects that improve the quality, consistency, or accessibility of wildlife or habitat information used in BLM decision-making, potentially reducing delays and improving transparency when BLM evaluates development proposals, grazing authorizations, and planning actions. Workforce and community benefits are also built into the program, with an explicit interest in providing employment opportunities for youths and veterans as part of project delivery.
Eligible applicants include a wide range of public and quasi-public entities: state governments; county governments; city or township governments; special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; and nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). The notice lists an award ceiling of $300,000 and anticipates around 20 awards, indicating that the program is structured to fund multiple projects at moderate funding levels rather than a small number of large awards.
The opportunity was created on April 22, 2019, with an original closing date of July 31, 2019, and it offered three submission rounds. Round One applications were due May 22, 2019 at 4:30 PM EDT, Round Two were due June 22, 2019 at 4:30 PM EDT, and Round Three were due July 31, 2019 at 4:30 PM EDT. Overall, the grant is aimed at practical, partnership-driven wildlife management work in Wyoming that delivers measurable habitat and recreation benefits, supports rural economies and workforce opportunities, and improves the data foundation for BLM permitting and land use decisions.Apply for L19AS00013
