Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) grant opportunity titled "BLM AZ Upper Gila Watershed Improvement" (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00084) is a discretionary funding program intended to support on-the-ground and community-driven watershed work in Arizona, specifically focused on Graham and Greenlee counties. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the BLM expects to have active involvement in the project during implementation rather than simply providing a pass-through grant. The overall purpose is to bring together local residents and a broad mix of partners such as businesses, nonprofit organizations, and local, state, and federal agencies to identify, prioritize, and carry out projects that improve watershed conditions and community resilience in the Upper Gila area.
The project objectives are centered on both natural resource outcomes and public benefit. The BLM is looking for a recipient that can convene and coordinate people who live and work in the region and translate shared priorities into practical projects and programs. The goals include conserving natural resources and enhancing the environment, with a specific emphasis on water outcomes: increasing water quantity where feasible and improving water quality. Another major priority is reducing risk and damage from large storms, floods, and other natural disasters through planning and action, which can include preventative measures, restoration, and better watershed function to moderate extreme events. The opportunity also highlights a strong community connection component, aiming to link local communities to the environment through education, outreach, and hands-on restoration activities. In short, BLM is funding collaborative watershed improvement work that combines ecological restoration, water management benefits, hazard mitigation thinking, and community engagement.
From a funding standpoint, the program listed an estimated total of $250,000 available, with individual awards ranging from $25,000 (award floor) up to $250,000 (award ceiling). The announcement anticipated making up to three awards. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.236, Environmental Quality and Protection Resource Management. Cost sharing or matching funds were not required, but they were encouraged. If an applicant planned to use third-party cost share, the announcement specified that applicants should include documentation such as a letter committing funds or indicating interest in supporting the project, which helps verify that the proposed match is real and available.
Eligibility was broad and effectively unrestricted, described as "Anyone," meaning the opportunity was open to a wide range of entities as long as they could meet the program’s goals and any requirements described in the full announcement. The core capability BLM was seeking was the ability to work across community and institutional lines and to manage a process that results in implemented projects and programs, not just planning alone. That implies applicants would be expected to demonstrate coordination experience, stakeholder engagement capacity, and the practical ability to deliver restoration, education/outreach, and watershed improvement actions.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on May 10, 2013, with an application deadline of May 30, 2013. Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov by 5:00 PM Pacific Daylight Time on the closing date, and late submissions were not considered. The announcement was later archived on June 3, 2013. For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Eddie Bell at the BLM (602-417-9268, ebell@blm.gov), and the general listing referenced Grants.gov as the source for complete details and submission.
