Opportunity Summary:
The BLM NV Carson City District Office Community Fire Assistance Program (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00007) is a discretionary federal grant offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to support community-focused efforts that reduce the risk and impacts of wildland fire in Nevada communities within the BLM Carson City District Office area. The core purpose is public education and outreach: helping residents and communities understand practical ways to prevent or lessen wildfire damage, with a strong emphasis on wildfire protection planning and maintaining defensible space around homes and other structures. By improving awareness and on-the-ground readiness, the program aims to strengthen overall community fire protection capability in the wildland-urban interface.
This opportunity is provided through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the BLM expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, coordination, guidance, or collaboration on outreach priorities) rather than simply issuing funds with minimal federal engagement. The funding activity falls under Natural Resources and is tied to CFDA 15.228, National Fire Plan - Wildland Urban Interface Community Fire Assistance, signaling that the work should align with broader National Fire Plan goals focused on reducing hazardous fuels, increasing community preparedness, and improving resilience where communities meet flammable wildlands.
The announcement anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $120,000. Individual project funding was capped with an award ceiling of $30,000, and the award floor was listed as $0, indicating proposals could request varying amounts up to the maximum depending on scope and need. Importantly, there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier to participation for eligible public entities and can be especially helpful for communities with limited local funding available for prevention and outreach.
Eligible applicants were limited to government entities: county governments, city or township governments, and state governments. This suggests the BLM intended the award to be implemented by public-sector partners capable of coordinating community-wide planning, education campaigns, and defensible-space initiatives, potentially in collaboration with fire districts, emergency management offices, and other local stakeholders.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on December 9, 2011, with an application deadline of January 12, 2012 (both the original and current closing date). The opportunity was archived on February 13, 2012, meaning it was no longer active after that point. Applicants were directed to download complete instructions and the application package via the announcement's application materials, and the listed point of contact for access issues or questions was Gretchen W. Eykelbosh at the BLM (phone 775-861-6740; emails gretcheneykelbosh@blm.gov and geykelbosh@blm.gov).
In practical terms, the program was designed to fund projects that translate wildfire risk reduction best practices into actions residents can take, such as creating and maintaining defensible space, improving home ignition resistance awareness, and engaging in or updating local wildfire protection planning. The overall intent is to reduce the chance that a wildfire becomes catastrophic for communities, while improving coordination and preparedness in the BLM Carson City District Office region.
