Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) respectfully requests $1.5 million in funding to support the renewal of NFWF and Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) longstanding conservation partnership for Fiscal Year 2022 (FY22).
NFWF has established landscape-scale conservation programs around the country, many of which have overlapping geographies with BLM lands. These programs share priorities with BLM headquarters' National Wildlife Program and have a historical inclusion of BLM as a key partner. They are driven by science-based goals and, for many of the geographies, have business plans.
NFWF's programs bring together federal and non-federal partners and priorities to generate Requests for Proposals (RFPs) that leverage partner resources, solicit targeted projects, and generate robust annual grant slates tracked through metrics and scorecards. For this FY22 partnership, BLM and NFWF will coordinate on and utilize approximately six of NFWF's programs and their RFPs to solicit competitive projects that address shared BLM-NFWF conservation priorities.
NFWF will work with BLM to ensure BLM's priorities are captured in each program RFP. BLM will participate in the review committee for each program and provide recommendations for project funding. BLM funds will only go to projects supported by the agency through these NFWF programs and subsequently selected projects. BLM partnership funds will be leveraged by NFWF and its partners with a minimum 1:1 in non-federal funds.
NFWF will remove administrative burden from BLM by utilizing NFWF's grants management expertise and processes to establish subaward agreements and monitoring of subrecipient outcomes. Overall, NFWF will help bring other resources to BLM interests, create a streamlined process for funding targeted proposals across select geographies and species interests, and manage reporting to BLM across subrecipient project deliverables and metrics.
This approach will not only produce the strongest projects targeted to specific science-based outcomes but will be driven around efforts that protect biodiversity, conserve, and restore priority.
