Opportunity Summary:
The Agua Fria National Monument Native Plant Material Project (Funding Opportunity Number: BLM AZ NOI 09 1296) was a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior to support on-the-ground management and protection work on public lands within the Agua Fria National Monument. The project focus, as reflected in the title, centers on native plant materials, which typically involves activities like collecting, propagating, producing, or otherwise developing native seed or plant stock used for restoration and resource protection efforts. In practical terms, this kind of work is commonly tied to rehabilitation of disturbed areas, reducing invasive species impacts by re-establishing native vegetation, improving habitat conditions, stabilizing soils, and supporting long-term ecological resilience on the monument.
The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which generally means the agency expected substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant with minimal federal participation. The activity category was environment, and the relevant CFDA program number listed was 15.238. The Bureau of Land Management anticipated making one award under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. The award ceiling was also $50,000, meaning the single selected project could be funded up to that amount, while the award floor was listed as $0, indicating there was no stated minimum size for an award (though the overall available total was $50,000).
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, so applicants were not obligated to provide a formal match as a condition of receiving the award. The announcement was posted on July 24, 2009, with an application closing date of August 10, 2009, and it was later archived on September 9, 2009. Additional details and the full announcement were made available through Grant.gov, and applicants who had trouble accessing the announcement electronically were directed to contact Paul Stout at paulstout@blm.gov for assistance.
