Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) offered a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "BLM OR WA Population Monitoring and Habitat Restoration in Oak Basin, Eugene District" (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00227). The project focus is natural resources work in western Oregon, specifically within the Eugene District at Oak Basin. The core purpose is to continue ongoing population monitoring and habitat restoration efforts that support three sensitive species: Kincaid's lupine, Hitchcock's blue-eyed grass, and the Fender's blue butterfly. In practical terms, the work would center on tracking the status and trends of these plant and insect populations over time and carrying out restoration actions aimed at improving or maintaining the habitat conditions they need to persist.
This opportunity was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning BLM expected substantial involvement with the recipient during project implementation rather than a hands-off grant. The announcement anticipated one award. The total estimated funding amount associated with the opportunity was listed as $100,000, with an award ceiling of $24,000 and an award floor of $1. The funding listing also indicated that cost sharing or matching was required under a "Challenge Cost Share" approach, so applicants needed to contribute non-federal resources (such as cash, staff time, volunteer labor, equipment use, or other allowable match) alongside federal funds.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. The funding opportunity was posted and created on July 22, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 19, 2014. The opportunity later archived on July 21, 2015. For applicants, the announcement directed interested parties to the Application tab in the full posting to access complete instructions and the application package. The BLM point of contact for access issues was Sheri Dowley, Grants Management Officer, reachable by phone at 503-808-6243 or by email at sdowley@blm.gov.
