Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Nevada Elko District Office Community Fire Assistance Program (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00091) is a discretionary grant offered through a cooperative agreement to support community-level wildfire preparedness and mitigation work in and around communities located within the BLM Elko District. The core purpose of the program is to strengthen local fire protection capabilities by funding hazardous fuels reduction projects that decrease wildfire risk in the wildland-urban interface, especially where homes, infrastructure, and community assets border or intermingle with flammable vegetation. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at helping agencies and partner organizations (referred to as cooperators) carry out fuels treatments adjacent to and within communities to reduce the likelihood of severe wildfire and to improve the effectiveness and safety of firefighting response.
The funding falls under CFDA 15.228, National Fire Plan, Wildland Urban Interface Community Fire Assistance, and it is categorized under the Natural Resources funding activity area. The total estimated funding for this opportunity is $25,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $25,000, indicating BLM expected to make a single award for the full amount. Cost sharing or matching is not required, which means applicants are not obligated to provide a matching contribution to be eligible, though applicants sometimes still choose to leverage other resources or partnerships to strengthen the overall project.
A wide range of applicant types are eligible, reflecting the community-focused and partnership-driven nature of fire mitigation work. Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, and city or township governments; federally recognized tribal governments and other Native American tribal organizations; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education); and both public/state-controlled and private institutions of higher education. This eligibility structure allows local governments, tribes, nonprofits, and academic institutions to propose projects that directly support hazardous fuels reduction and related community fire assistance needs within the Elko District BLM area.
Key timing details show the opportunity was posted and created on May 9, 2011, with an application deadline of May 23, 2011. The opportunity was later archived on June 23, 2011, meaning it is no longer open, but the summary still reflects how the program was structured and what it sought to fund. For applicants needing the complete instructions at the time, the announcement directed them to the application materials available through the posting, and provided a point of contact at BLM: Gretchen W. Eykelbosh, Grants and Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 775-861-6740 or by email at gretcheneykelbosh@blm.gov (also listed as geykelbosh@blm.gov).
