Opportunity Information: Apply for HQ0034 21 NOFO LAN 0003

The Department of Defense (DoD) funding opportunity titled "Conservation and Climate Resilience Partnerships with Land Trust Alliance" (Funding Opportunity Number: HQ0034 21 NOFO LAN 0003) is a discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement. It is designed to advance DoD priorities around land conservation and climate resilience, with a particular focus on the landscapes surrounding military installations and training ranges. The central idea is to strengthen partnerships and shared understanding between DoD stakeholders and land trusts so that conservation actions near bases can also support military readiness, reduce land use conflicts, and improve resilience to climate-related risks.

The scope of work emphasizes two main deliverables. First, the selected partner is expected to promote DoD land conservation and climate resilience goals to the broader land trust community. In practice, this means helping land trusts understand why DoD cares about conservation outside the fence line, how conservation easements and other land protection tools can reduce encroachment pressures, and how landscape-scale conservation can help keep training and testing missions viable over the long term. Second, the opportunity supports training and capacity-building for both land trusts and installation personnel. The training focus is on land conservation topics and on nature-based solutions to climate change, such as protecting or restoring natural systems that can buffer flooding, reduce erosion, lessen wildfire risk, sustain water resources, and maintain habitat and open space that align with compatible land use near installations.

Administratively, this opportunity was issued by the Department of Defense under CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 12.017. It was posted on September 2, 2021, with an original application closing date of September 8, 2021, indicating a very short submission window. The anticipated funding level was relatively modest but targeted: the award ceiling was $196,000, and DoD expected to make a single award. Because the instrument type is a cooperative agreement, applicants should expect substantial involvement from the federal agency during performance, such as coordination on training content, alignment with DoD priorities, and collaboration on outreach efforts.

Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full notice. While the title points to the Land Trust Alliance, the structure suggests the award is intended for an entity positioned to reach and train land trusts at scale and to convene or develop materials that connect conservation practice with DoD operational needs. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a partnership and technical assistance effort: it is not primarily for purchasing land or implementing construction projects, but rather for building relationships, sharing best practices, and improving the ability of land trusts and military installations to work together on conservation and climate resilience strategies in priority landscapes around bases and ranges.
