Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR WA Sprague 316 Weed Management/Property Stewardship opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00281) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.234, Secure Rural Schools and Community Self Determination. The project is framed around the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self Determination Act of 2000 and its subsequent extensions and reauthorizations, which collectively allow federal land agencies like BLM (and also the Forest Service) to support local, on-the-ground work that benefits rural counties connected to federal lands. In practical terms, this opportunity is aimed at natural resource work, specifically weed management and property stewardship activities associated with the Sprague area in Oregon/Washington BLM context, and it is designed to produce tangible improvements in land management and stewardship outcomes.
The underlying purpose of the authorizing legislation is threefold. First, it is intended to help stabilize payments to counties so they can fund schools and roads, serving as a supplement to other funding sources. Second, it seeks to create or support employment by funding projects that maintain existing infrastructure and carry out stewardship objectives, with an emphasis on improving forest ecosystems, restoring and improving land health, and protecting or enhancing water quality. Third, it explicitly aims to strengthen cooperative relationships among community members, land users, and the federal agencies responsible for managing public lands. The cooperative agreement structure signals that BLM expects active involvement in the project, such as coordination, technical input, shared planning, or joint oversight, rather than simply issuing funds with minimal agency interaction.
Funding for this opportunity is relatively small and targeted. The estimated total funding is $13,944, and the award ceiling is also $13,944, indicating BLM anticipated making a single award up to that amount (Expected Awards: 1). The award floor is listed as $1, so proposals could be for smaller amounts, but the overall scale suggests a focused, specific scope of work rather than a large multi-year program. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient must contribute non-federal funds, in-kind services, or other eligible match sources as part of the project budget, consistent with the terms described in the full announcement.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted on July 30, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 29, 2014, and it was archived July 29, 2015. Applicants were directed to the full announcement and application package via the funding listing, and the point of contact was Jessica Clark at BLM (503-808-6226, j1clark@blm.gov) for access issues or questions. Overall, this grant is best understood as a small, cooperative, stewardship-focused award supporting weed management and related property stewardship work that advances rural community benefits, ecosystem health, and collaborative land management tied to federal lands.
