Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR WA Douglas Co. Community Wildfire Protection grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00216) is a discretionary Bureau of Land Management funding program designed to support community-level wildfire risk reduction work in Douglas County. The core purpose is to fund specific action items and hazardous fuels mitigation projects that were collaboratively identified through the Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) planning process. In practical terms, the grant is meant to help communities move from planning to on-the-ground implementation by paying for projects that directly align with, and can be clearly tied back to, the overarching goals in Douglas County's CWPPs, with an emphasis on reducing wildland fire risk to communities and the values those communities depend on.
This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement under a natural resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.228 (National Fire Plan, Wildland Urban Interface Community Fire Assistance). The program anticipates making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000 available under the announcement. Individual award amounts are expected to range from a minimum (award floor) of $1 up to a maximum (award ceiling) of $25,000. No cost sharing or matching contribution is required, which lowers the barrier for eligible entities that may not have cash match available but can still demonstrate a strong, CWPP-driven need and readiness to implement risk reduction actions.
Eligibility is limited to special district governments, indicating the program is targeted at local governmental entities typically responsible for services such as fire protection, emergency services, or other district-based public functions. Because the funded work must be derived from CWPP-identified priorities, competitive applications would generally be expected to show a clear line of sight between the proposed activities and the CWPP action items, including the specific community or interface area addressed, the wildfire risk being reduced, and the tangible outcomes anticipated (for example, treatments that lessen hazardous fuel loads or improve defensible space and community preparedness in the wildland-urban interface).
Key dates for the original solicitation show the announcement was posted on August 21, 2013, created on August 22, 2013, and closed on September 5, 2013 (with the original and current closing dates the same). The opportunity was later archived on August 20, 2014. For applicants who needed full instructions and the application package, the notice directed users to download materials via the announcement's application section, and provided a point of contact for access issues: Sheryl Dowley, Grants Management Specialist, at 503-808-6243 or sdowley@blm.gov.
