Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR WA 2011 Challenge Cost Share Program (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00142) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the Bureau of Land Management to support on-the-ground conservation and public land management work in Oregon through partnerships with non-federal entities. The core goal of the program is to run a cost-effective, locally driven effort where BLM and partners work together on projects that benefit the general public and protect or enhance public resources. The announcement emphasizes that projects can cover a wide range of resource and community values, including recreation opportunities, fish and wildlife conservation, protection of both listed and non-listed plant species and their habitats, improvements to water quality, and stewardship of cultural sites and historic trails. In practical terms, this program is meant to fund collaborative projects that produce tangible benefits on public lands while leveraging local knowledge and capacity.
Funding is provided through cooperative agreements, which generally indicates a more hands-on relationship with the agency than a standard grant, often involving substantial federal involvement during project implementation. The total estimated funding for this opportunity is $285,000, with an award floor of $1 and an award ceiling of $285,000. BLM expected to make approximately 14 awards, suggesting that many individual projects would likely be smaller in scale, though the ceiling allows for a larger single award if a proposal fits program priorities and funding availability. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.238 (Challenge Cost Share).
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is broadly open to many types of applicants (such as local governments, tribal governments, nonprofits, educational institutions, and potentially other entities), subject to any additional eligibility details included in the full announcement. Notably, the listing states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which can make participation easier for organizations that have limited non-federal funds available, even though the program concept itself is partnership-oriented and often designed to encourage shared investment.
The opportunity was posted on June 28, 2011, with an application deadline of September 30, 2011, and it was archived on June 28, 2012. Applicants were directed to download the full announcement and application package via the application materials referenced in the posting. For access issues or administrative questions, the grant contact listed is Teresa Spickerman, Grants Management Officer, at 503-808-6243 or teresaespickerman@blm.gov.
