Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR WA Illinois Valley Community Development opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00267) was a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.234, Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination. It was designed to support projects funded through Title II of the Secure Rural Schools Act, which directs money to counties for practical, on-the-ground work tied to restoration, maintenance, and stewardship. The core purpose is to improve conditions on federal lands, or to fund work on non-federal lands when that work clearly benefits nearby or connected federal lands.
The types of projects this funding was meant to support are the kinds that reduce long-term risks and maintenance backlogs in rural, forested areas. That includes efforts to lower wildfire risk in the wildland-urban interface (for example, fuels reduction or related restoration work), restore fish and wildlife habitat, and complete maintenance for roads, recreation sites, and facilities. In other words, the program emphasizes tangible improvements to natural resources and public land infrastructure, with an emphasis on stewardship outcomes that counties and local partners can implement.
Funding for the opportunity was relatively modest at the individual award level. The total estimated funding available across the opportunity was listed as $200,000, with an award floor of $1 and an award ceiling of $18,000, and the BLM expected to make one award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility, though cooperative agreements often involve close coordination with the agency during project implementation.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The opportunity was posted on July 25, 2014, and had an application deadline of August 25, 2014. It remained available in the system until it was archived on July 24, 2015. Applicants were directed to download full instructions and the application package through the announcement’s application materials, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Jessica Clark at the BLM (503-808-6226, j1clark@blm.gov).
