Opportunity Summary:
The BLM ORWA Community Wildfire Protection grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00217) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Bureau of Land Management under CFDA 15.228, National Fire Plan, Wildland Urban Interface Community Fire Assistance. Its purpose is to reduce wildfire risk in and around communities in Ferry, Stevens, and Lincoln Counties in Washington by supporting updates to each county's Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) and by funding selected follow-on actions that come out of that planning process. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at keeping the counties' CWPPs current and usable, while also helping move planning into implementation through agreed-upon projects that lower hazardous fuels and improve community resilience.
The core project work centers on updating the CWPPs for the three counties, which typically involves collaborating with local governments, fire districts, land managers, and community stakeholders to reassess wildfire hazards, identify priority areas in the wildland-urban interface, and refine mitigation strategies. Beyond plan updates, the announcement emphasizes funding for action items and/or hazardous fuels mitigation projects that are collaboratively identified through the CWPP process. That means the grant is not only about producing revised documents; it is also structured to support tangible risk-reduction work that stakeholders agree is needed based on the updated plans, such as fuels reduction activities or other mitigation measures intended to protect communities and important local values.
From an administrative and funding perspective, BLM anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $325,000. The listed award ceiling is $75,000 and the award floor is $1, and the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates BLM expects to have substantial involvement during project performance compared with a standard grant. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for this opportunity, which can lower barriers for eligible applicants and allow the project scope to be driven more by community-identified priorities than by the need to assemble match.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, indicating the intended applicant is a state-level entity that can coordinate CWPP updates and related mitigation work across the named counties. The opportunity was posted on August 28, 2013, with an application closing date of September 6, 2013, and it was later archived on August 27, 2014. Applicants were directed to use the announcement package available through the application materials link, and the point of contact for access issues was Sheryl Dowley, Grants Management Specialist, at 503-808-6243 or sdowley@blm.gov.
