Opportunity Summary:
The BLM Boise District Communities at Risk Program (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00280) was a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, focused on reducing the risk and impacts of wildfire on communities in Boise County, Idaho. The program emphasized practical, on-the-ground actions that help communities better prepare for wildfire and lessen potential damage when fires occur. Key supported activities included community protection planning, hazardous fuels reduction work, ongoing maintenance and monitoring of treated areas, mitigation efforts to reduce vulnerability, and public education initiatives aimed at improving wildfire awareness and preparedness in the wildland-urban interface.
Funding was to be issued through a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM expected to have substantial involvement in the project during its execution rather than simply providing a pass-through grant. The opportunity was associated with CFDA 15.228 under the National Fire Plan and Wildland Urban Interface Community Fire Assistance, aligning it with broader federal efforts to address wildfire risk where communities and fire-prone landscapes meet. The estimated total funding amount listed for the opportunity was $500,000, with an award ceiling of $63,000 and an award floor of $0, indicating awards could vary in size up to the stated maximum. The announcement anticipated making one award. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which lowered the barrier to participation for applicants that might not have additional funds to contribute.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of applicant, subject to any clarifications contained in the full announcement materials. The posting date and creation date were July 29, 2014, and the application deadline was August 15, 2014, with the opportunity later archived on September 30, 2014. Applicants were directed to download the full announcement and application instructions via the application tab referenced in the notice. For access issues or questions, the listed contact was Christine Shaver, Grants Management Officer, Bureau of Land Management, reachable at (208) 373-3817 or cshaver@blm.gov.
