Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR WA Franklin County Community Wildfire Protection grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00215) is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), focused on reducing wildfire risk in and around communities in Franklin County. The funding is intended to support on-the-ground action items and hazardous fuels mitigation projects that were developed through the Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) process. In practical terms, this means the project work proposed for funding must be clearly connected to priorities that local stakeholders already identified collaboratively in the county's CWPP, and applicants are expected to show how their proposed activities advance the CWPP's overarching goals for protecting communities and valued resources from wildland fire.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally signals that BLM expects to have an active role in the project beyond simply issuing funds, such as providing technical involvement, coordination, or oversight during implementation. The program falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.228, National Fire Plan, specifically the Wildland Urban Interface Community Fire Assistance purpose area. The government anticipated making one award under this opportunity.
Financially, the opportunity listed an estimated total funding amount of $100,000, with individual award amounts ranging from a floor of $1 up to a ceiling of $25,000 per award. The opportunity specifically noted that there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind match as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility was limited to special district governments, which typically includes local governmental entities such as fire protection districts and similar special-purpose districts. The core project requirement is that proposed mitigation actions be rooted in CWPP-identified needs, emphasizing community-based wildfire planning and implementation rather than unrelated or purely aspirational activities.
Key dates for this solicitation show it was posted on August 21, 2013, created on August 22, 2013, and closed on September 5, 2013, with the archive date listed as August 20, 2014.
