Opportunity Summary:
The BLM Idaho 2012 Challenge Cost Share (CCS) Program is a Bureau of Land Management partnership-focused grant opportunity designed to support on-the-ground conservation and public land stewardship projects across Idaho. The CCS program traces back to 1985, when Congress first set aside funding within the wildlife program specifically to encourage conservation projects built around partnerships. Over time, BLM broadened the program beyond wildlife to include many other natural and cultural resource areas where collaboration with outside organizations can extend capacity, improve outcomes, and deliver locally relevant results. In Idaho, the intent is to maintain a wide mix of partnerships and projects driven largely by needs identified by local BLM field offices and district staff.
The opportunity supports a broad range of eligible activities tied to natural resources and public land management. Fundable work includes research, monitoring, and inventory of resources; habitat improvement and restoration projects; protection, stabilization, or documentation of cultural resources; efforts that enhance recreation opportunities and visitor experiences; development and implementation of conservation and recovery plans for species; environmental education; conservation and restoration of native plant communities; and projects aimed at controlling or eradicating noxious weeds and other invasive plants. For the 2012 program year in Idaho specifically, BLM highlighted priorities such as resource inventory, monitoring, and research; environmental education; habitat and plant community restoration; cultural site protection; management of special status species; and recreation and off-highway vehicle (OHV) management. Overall, the program is structured to be diverse, locally grounded, and partnership-driven, reflecting multiple resource needs on BLM-managed lands.
Administratively, this funding is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement under Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00199, listed under CFDA 15.238 (Challenge Cost Share). BLM anticipated making about 20 awards, with an estimated total program funding amount of $820,000. Individual awards were expected to range from $1,000 (award floor) up to $40,000 (award ceiling). Despite the program name emphasizing “cost share,” the published details indicate there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement for applicants for this announcement. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning proposals could come from any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained within the full announcement materials.
