Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced a discretionary grant opportunity titled "BLM Colorado Vegetation/Range Fuels treatment project Under Royal Gorge Field Office Jurisdiction" (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00083). This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project work rather than simply issuing funding and stepping back. The project falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management.
The core purpose of the project is to carry out vegetation and rangeland fuels treatments within the Royal Gorge Field Office area in Colorado. The stated objective is collaborative and restoration-focused: the award is intended to support cooperative work with multiple agencies, interest groups, and landowners to begin restoring land health in a way that sustains a livable environment for wildlife and plant communities. In practical terms, this type of BLM fuels and vegetation work typically aims to improve ecosystem condition, reduce hazardous fuels that can contribute to damaging wildfires, and enhance habitat and rangeland resilience, all while coordinating activities across jurisdictions and ownership boundaries.
Funding for the opportunity was limited to a single expected award, with an estimated total of $150,000. The award ceiling was $150,000 and the award floor was $2,500, indicating that proposals could range from small targeted projects to a full award at the maximum amount. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was limited to state governments and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The posting date was May 3, 2012, with creation on May 10, 2012. The original closing date was May 10, 2012, and it was extended to May 11, 2012 due to a pending recipient application. The opportunity was later archived on June 29, 2012. Applicants were directed to use the announcement "Application" materials for full instructions and the application package.
For technical issues accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Ruth A. Raisanen at the BLM, reachable by phone at 303-239-3605 or by email at rraisane@blm.gov.
