Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR WA Tillamook Estuaries Partnerships (TEP) NW Oregon Restoration Partnership grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00320) is a Bureau of Land Management discretionary funding program offered through a cooperative agreement to support on-the-ground natural resources work in the northwest corner of Oregon. The effort is rooted in a long-running, multi-organization collaboration that began in 2003 and has steadily expanded from a small group of local partners into a broad regional network focused on habitat restoration and the reliable, shared production of locally appropriate native plants.
At its core, the partnership was created to solve a practical restoration bottleneck on the Oregon Coast: riparian projects needed genetically adapted native plant material, but that material was not consistently available through normal commercial sources. Rather than continuing to compete with one another for scarce plants and limited grant funds, participating groups built a coordinated system for seed collection, propagation, planting, and long-term maintenance. Over time, the partnership broadened beyond riparian restoration into additional habitat types, including wetlands, coastal sand dunes, high meadow systems, and oak savannah habitats. A key feature of the partnership is the active sharing of field and nursery techniques among partners so that knowledge, materials, and capacity are spread across the region instead of concentrated in a single organization.
The scale and diversity of the collaboration are central to the opportunity. What started with BLM, the Tillamook Soil and Water Conservation District, three watershed councils, and the Tillamook Estuaries Partnership has grown into a coalition of 36 partners across eight counties. Partners now include land conservancies, State Parks, National Parks, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Siuslaw National Forest, six school districts, eight watershed councils, and three Oregon Youth Conservation Corps programs. That mix signals that the project is designed to combine ecological outcomes with community participation and workforce or youth engagement, while also coordinating across local, state, and federal land and resource managers.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity is listed under CFDA 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management). The posting date was August 18, 2014, with an application deadline of August 29, 2014, and it was later archived on August 17, 2015. The announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $500,000, with an award floor of $1 and an award ceiling of $35,000, and it anticipates making one award. No cost sharing or matching requirement is specified. Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), indicating the intended recipient is likely a nonprofit partner positioned to coordinate or implement work on behalf of the larger collaborative.
One administrative detail highlighted in the announcement is that BLM intended to award two separate agreements to accommodate different funding sources: Secure Rural Schools (SRS) Title II funds and non-Secure Rural Schools Title II funds. In practice, that means the work may be structured or accounted for under two parallel funding tracks, allowing the partnership to apply the appropriate rules and funding authorities depending on the specific project components supported under each agreement.

The listed point of contact is Jessica Clark at BLM (503-808-6226, j1clark@blm.gov), for help accessing the full announcement or related details.
