Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "BLM OR WA Ferguson Creek Fish Passage Culvert Replacement" (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00223) is a discretionary federal funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It was offered as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources funding activity category, with the project centered on improving aquatic habitat and fish passage conditions in the Ferguson Creek drainage in Oregon and Washington BLM context. The core purpose is to replace an existing culvert that is limiting fish movement and to complete related habitat restoration actions aimed specifically at benefiting coastal cutthroat trout. By improving passage and restoring habitat conditions, the project is intended to strengthen local cutthroat trout populations and improve overall stream connectivity and ecological function in the drainage.
This opportunity anticipates making a single award (Expected Awards: 1). While the notice lists an estimated total program funding amount of $200,000, the stated award ceiling for an individual award is $74,083, with an award floor of $1. This suggests the broader program funding estimate may reflect multiple related efforts or the broader funding pool, while this specific agreement has a defined cap for the project described in the announcement. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.234, "Secure Rural Schools and Community Self Determination," indicating it is tied to the funding framework often used for projects that support rural communities and natural resource improvements on or connected to federal lands.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. The award requires cost sharing or matching, meaning the selected nonprofit partner must contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind support, depending on the full announcement terms) as part of the overall project budget. Because the instrument type is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, applicants should expect substantial involvement from BLM in project planning, coordination, oversight, or implementation, which is typical when the federal agency anticipates working closely with the recipient to accomplish the project outcomes.
The timeline for the announcement shows it was posted and created on July 18, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 18, 2014, and it was archived on July 17, 2015. Interested applicants were directed to the full announcement and application package via the "APPLICATION" tab referenced in the posting, which would contain the detailed technical scope, deliverables, budget requirements, match expectations, reporting obligations, and submission instructions. For assistance accessing materials, the listed point of contact was Jessica Clark at BLM, reachable at 503-808-6226 or by email at j1clark@blm.gov.
