Opportunity Summary:
The BLM Oregon/Washington Challenge Cost Share Program 2009 (Reannouncement) is a Bureau of Land Management funding notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior to support cooperative, on-the-ground public land management work in Oregon and Washington. This posting is not a new competitive round in the usual sense. BLM states that the recipients had already been selected under the original process, and the opportunity is being reposted only because of changes in BLMs financial system. As a result, the previously selected project partners (cooperators) are being asked to submit applications again so the awards can be processed under the updated system.
The core purpose of the Challenge Cost Share (CCS) program is to build cost-share partnerships with non-federal entities to accomplish projects that benefit public lands and the resources the public depends on. The announcement highlights a broad set of resource areas that may be supported, including cultural resources, fisheries, recreation, wildlife, special status plants, and native plant communities. In practical terms, the program is designed to combine BLM funding and coordination with partner expertise, labor, services, or other contributions to carry out conservation or management projects that are locally relevant and publicly beneficial.
Eligible partners are intentionally broad and can include state agencies, federally recognized Tribes, local governments, non-governmental organizations, private companies, and private individuals. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, signaling that BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the supported projects (for example, coordination, oversight, or technical participation) rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal engagement. The funding activity category is listed as environment, reflecting the natural resource and conservation emphasis.
From the published opportunity details, BLM anticipated making about 85 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,290,000. Individual awards were expected to range up to a ceiling of $50,000, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.238 (Challenge Cost Share). Although the program is described as a cost-share partnership model, the listing indicates "No" for a cost-sharing or matching requirement in the formal Grants.gov field, which suggests that a mandatory match was not required as a condition of eligibility in this particular posting even though partnership contributions may still be a normal and encouraged feature of CCS projects.
Key dates in the notice are tied to its reposting in 2009: it was posted and created on August 26, 2009, with an application deadline of September 15, 2009, and an archive date of October 15, 2009. The funding opportunity number is BLM OR NOI 09 0926. For applicants who could not access the full announcement online, BLM provided a point of contact: Pamella M. Sterling (psterlin@blm.gov).
