Opportunity Summary:
The BLM ID Volunteers for Habitat Restoration grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM ID NOI 09 0913) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, focused on natural resource conservation and on-the-ground habitat improvement work in Idaho. The program is designed to support the creation and operation of volunteer-based efforts that restore sagebrush shrublands and related riparian areas across three major regions in southern Idaho. In practical terms, the funding is aimed at organizing people, planning and coordinating volunteer field projects, and carrying out restoration activities that improve the health and resilience of these ecosystems, which are important for a wide range of wildlife and overall watershed function.
The opportunity was posted on June 23, 2009, with an application closing date of July 17, 2009, and an archive date of August 16, 2009. The estimated total funding available was $200,000, with individual awards expected to range from a $500 minimum (award floor) up to a $60,000 maximum (award ceiling). The agency anticipated making up to six awards. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning applicants were not required to provide a set amount of non-federal funds to participate.
This announcement is explicitly a Notice of Intent (NOI) to award to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game based on unique qualifications, and eligibility was identified as state governments. That language indicates the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) was not running an open competition for a broad pool of applicants; instead, it was signaling its intent to fund a specific state partner because of specialized capacity, experience, or statutory/mission alignment needed to accomplish the volunteer restoration work effectively.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. Additional details were made available through Grants.gov, and the point of contact listed for access issues was Melinda D. Ritacco, Grants Management Officer, reachable at mritacco@blm.gov.
