Opportunity Summary:
The Arizona State Forestry Ready Reserve grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00224) was a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under the National Fire Plan, specifically aligned with CFDA 15.228 (Wildland Urban Interface Community Fire Assistance). The core purpose of the award was to continue an existing agreement with Arizona State Forestry, with the practical goal of strengthening rural wildland fire response by improving operational safety, increasing firefighting effectiveness, and building overall response capacity for rural fire departments. In plain terms, this opportunity supported ongoing efforts that help local departments be better prepared for wildland and wildland-urban interface incidents, where fires can quickly threaten communities, infrastructure, and natural resources.
Funding was limited and targeted. BLM expected to make a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. The stated award ceiling was $100,000, and the award floor was listed as $1, indicating the program structure allowed for a range of funding amounts up to the maximum, but the intent was clearly a single, full-size continuation award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the grant.
Eligibility was restricted to state governments, which fits the "continuation of prior agreement" language and the title of the opportunity. This was not presented as an open, competitive program for local fire districts, nonprofits, or universities; instead, it was designed to support a state-level forestry partner (Arizona State Forestry) that could, in turn, bolster rural fire department readiness and capability across the state through coordinated planning, training, equipment support, or similar capacity-building activities consistent with the National Fire Plan mission.
The opportunity was posted on July 23, 2010, and the application closing date was August 10, 2010, with the listing archived on August 23, 2010. The funding activity category was classified as Environment, reflecting the broader federal objective of reducing wildfire risk and impacts on ecosystems and communities. For applicants or stakeholders needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed BLM contact was Paul Stout, Grants Management Officer, reachable at (602) 417-9268 or paulstout@blm.gov.
