House Votes to Create Charity to Fill Funding Gaps at Bureau of Land Management

Government Executive: The House on Tuesday voted unanimously to create a new entity that allows member of the public to donate money or property to protect federal lands, taking the first step in following other Interior Department agencies with sister non-profits.

The Bureau of Land Management Foundation Act, introduced by Rep. Jody Hice, R-Ga., would create the new entity to accept, solicit and administer gifts or donations to advance the BLM mission. Specifically, the foundation would be able to choose to donate to the areas relating to wild free-roaming horses and burros, fish and wildlife and their habitats, National Conservation Lands, recreation resources and cultural and historic resources, as well as cleanup of abandoned mine lands, orphaned oil and gas well sites or public lands impacted by mineral development.
