Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) grant opportunity titled "BLM OR WA Secure Rural Schools and Community Self Determination Act, Title II, Community Assistance Program, Western Oregon, FY 2013" (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00089) is a discretionary funding program delivered through cooperative agreements. It is rooted in the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act, which was created to bring stability and predictability to payments made to states and counties that contain National Forest System lands and public-domain lands administered by BLM. Those payments are intended to support local public priorities such as schools, roads, and other county purposes, particularly in rural communities where federal land ownership can limit local tax revenue.
Beyond stabilizing county and state funding, the program also emphasizes practical, on-the-ground investments that create local employment and produce measurable natural resource and infrastructure benefits. Funded projects are meant to improve maintenance of existing infrastructure, carry out stewardship objectives, enhance forest ecosystems, and restore or improve overall land health and water quality. In other words, the opportunity is both community-support focused and resource-management focused, aiming to strengthen rural economies while improving the condition and resilience of forests, watersheds, and related public assets in Western Oregon.
For FY 2013, the announcement anticipated around 20 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $552,391. Individual award sizes could range from as little as $1 up to a ceiling of $185,016, indicating that projects could vary widely in scope and budget. The program does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can make it more accessible to applicants that may not have non-federal resources available.
Eligibility is broadly described as "unrestricted" in terms of entity type, but with a key limitation that effectively narrows who can apply: only recipients whose projects have been approved by a Resource Advisory Committee (RAC) are eligible to submit an application. That requirement reflects how Secure Rural Schools Title II projects are typically selected, with local RACs playing a central role in reviewing and recommending projects that align with county priorities and the purposes of the Act.
The opportunity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.234 (Secure Rural Schools and Community Self Determination). The opportunity was posted May 15, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 30, 2013, although the announcement notes that each individual project may have its own specific due date and time, and applicants were directed to consult Section II of the Request for Application for those project-specific deadlines. The archive date for the opportunity was August 4, 2014.
Applicants needing the full instructions and application package were directed to use the "APPLICATION" tab in the announcement interface, and the listed point of contact was Jessica Clark at BLM (503-808-6226, j1clark@blm.gov), who could assist particularly if there were issues accessing the materials electronically.
