Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00343
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) New Mexico Environmental Quality and Protection grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L22AS00343) is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through BLM. It is designed to support projects that advance environmental quality and protection efforts connected to natural resources work in New Mexico. Awards are made through a cooperative agreement, which generally means BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance (for example, collaboration on planning, technical coordination, or oversight), rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation.
This opportunity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to under Assistance Listings) number 15.236. The listed award ceiling is $110,000, indicating the maximum amount BLM anticipates awarding per project under this specific notice of funding opportunity (NOFO), though actual award amounts can vary depending on project scope, budget, and available funding. The opportunity was created on April 29, 2022, with an original application closing date of June 1, 2022. The notice also references expected awards, but the number of awards is not clearly provided in the source text.
Eligibility is limited to public and nonprofit-type entities and certain educational and tribal entities. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city/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; other tribal organizations; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories). Individuals are explicitly ineligible, and for-profit organizations are also explicitly ineligible, meaning private companies and sole proprietors cannot apply under this NOFO.
A key restriction in the notice is that the program does not support projects that involve hiring interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. The text explains 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, and that this NOFO is not the vehicle for that kind of youth or intern crew engagement. As a result, youth-focused organizations such as eligible Youth Conservation Corps are directed to pursue a different, specific funding opportunity for that purpose: NOFO 15.243, titled BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands. In practical terms, this means applicants should not propose projects whose core staffing or delivery model depends on Public Lands Corps intern hiring; proposals should instead be structured around other allowable staffing and project implementation approaches consistent with environmental quality and protection objectives.
Overall, this funding opportunity is best understood as a BLM New Mexico cooperative agreement mechanism aimed at supporting partner-led environmental and natural resource protection work, open to governmental, tribal, educational, and nonprofit entities, but closed to individuals and for-profit applicants, and not intended to fund Public Lands Corps-style intern or crew hiring.Apply for L22AS00343
