Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR WA Wildland Urban Interface Hazardous Fuels Reduction, Education, and Outreach opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00248) is a discretionary Bureau of Land Management program offered through a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.228, National Fire Plan - Wildland Urban Interface Community Fire Assistance. Its core aim is to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire in Oregon by strengthening coordination with designated at-risk communities and by supporting the creation and improvement of Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPPs). In practical terms, the grant is designed to bring communities, landowners, and partners together around wildfire preparedness, fuels management planning, and on-the-ground prevention efforts, especially where homes and communities meet or border fire-prone wildlands.
The work described in the announcement centers on three connected areas: collaboration and planning, landowner-focused education, and fuels treatment support and oversight. Grant activities are intended to help communities organize and carry out CWPP development across Oregon, including the stakeholder engagement needed for an effective plan. The program also emphasizes direct work with individual landowners to explain the benefits of fire prevention and mitigation, which typically includes outreach about defensible space, home hardening concepts, and broader community readiness actions. In addition, it involves planning hazardous fuels reduction treatments and monitoring those efforts, with a specific expectation that the awardee will provide input on the effectiveness and quality of work performed on or adjacent to federal lands. That makes this opportunity not only about education and plan-writing, but also about supporting implementation decisions and providing feedback tied to real fuels-reduction activities near federal boundaries.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $75,000. The award size was constrained by a stated ceiling of $45,382 and a floor of $1, and the program did not require cost sharing or matching funds. The only eligible applicants listed were state governments, meaning the competition was structured for state-level entities rather than local governments, nonprofits, tribes, or private organizations as direct applicants. The posting and creation date were July 23, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 28, 2014, and the opportunity was later archived on July 21, 2015.
For applicants or partners needing the full instructions at the time, the announcement directed users to download materials via the application tab in the posting. The point of contact provided was Sheri Dowley, Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable at 503-808-6243 or sdowley@blm.gov, particularly for anyone who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically.
