Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR WA Coos Basin Restoration Project (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00162) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant opportunity focused on natural resources work in the Coos Basin of Oregon. The core purpose of the project is straightforward: improve fish and wildlife habitat, strengthen water quality, and increase overall fish productivity across the basin. In practical terms, this kind of restoration funding typically supports on-the-ground efforts that make streams, riparian areas, and associated habitats function better for native species, while also addressing factors that degrade water quality (for example, erosion, sedimentation, or loss of streamside vegetation). The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM is expected to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing funds, which often includes coordination, technical input, and alignment with federal land management and watershed priorities.
This opportunity was posted on June 20, 2014 (created June 19, 2014) and had an application closing date of July 21, 2014, with the opportunity later archived on June 19, 2015. The agency anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The funding is associated with CFDA 15.234, Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination, a program that has historically been used to support projects benefiting forested landscapes and local communities, including watershed restoration and related natural resource improvements.
Financially, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $500,000, with individual award amounts ranging from a floor of $1 up to a ceiling of $41,566. The listed ceiling suggests the funding may have been intended to be distributed in increments or phases, or that this particular cooperative agreement represented one component within a larger funding pool. Importantly for applicants, there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for eligible organizations to participate and can make the project more accessible to smaller nonprofits that do not have large reserves of unrestricted funds.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. That means qualified charitable organizations with restoration, fisheries, watershed, or conservation missions were the intended applicant pool. Anyone seeking the full application instructions and required forms was directed to the announcement materials under the application section of the posting, and the point of contact listed for access issues and questions was Jessica Clark at the Bureau of Land Management (503-808-6226, j1clark@blm.gov).
