Opportunity Summary:
The American Forests grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00332) was a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), under CFDA 15.233, Forests and Woodlands Resource Management. It was issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the BLM expected to have meaningful involvement in the project as it was carried out, rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The overall purpose of the agreement was to promote community-based forest and woodland restoration projects that connect BLM field districts with local collaborative groups. A central theme of the opportunity was integrating ecological restoration work with biomass utilization, reflecting a practical approach to restoration where removed material (for example, small-diameter trees or other woody biomass generated through thinning or fuels reduction) is considered as part of the project strategy rather than treated solely as waste.
Funding under the opportunity was limited and targeted. The BLM anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a floor of $20,000 up to a ceiling of $100,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind support to be eligible, although strong partnerships and collaboration were clearly an underlying expectation given the program focus on community-based projects and local collaborative efforts.
Eligibility was restricted to nonprofit organizations with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. In practical terms, the opportunity was aimed at mission-driven nonprofit partners that could work across community and land management interests, coordinate stakeholders, and help implement restoration and biomass-related activities in coordination with BLM districts.
Key dates indicate this was a time-limited, archived opportunity from 2010. It was posted and created on August 27, 2010, with an original and final closing date of September 10, 2010, and it was archived on October 10, 2010. Additional details and the full announcement were made available through Grants.gov via the link provided in the posting.
