Opportunity Summary:

The BLM OR/WA FY 2010 Challenge Cost Share Projects opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM OR RFA 2010 1926) was a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, focused on supporting on-the-ground public land management work in Oregon and Washington through cooperative agreements. The core purpose of the program was to encourage partnerships between BLM and non-federal entities to accomplish projects that protect, restore, or improve important public land resources. The opportunity emphasized practical management outcomes across a broad range of resource areas, including cultural resources, fisheries, recreation, wildlife, special status plants, and native plant communities.

Funding was offered under the Challenge Cost Share CFDA number 15.238, and the primary funding instrument was a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates a more collaborative relationship between BLM and the recipient during project implementation than a standard grant. The program anticipated making approximately 80 awards, supported by an estimated total funding amount of about $1,300,000. Individual awards were relatively small and project-focused, with a stated ceiling of $50,000 and a minimum award amount of $1, indicating flexibility in project scale while still keeping most awards within a modest budget range suitable for targeted field projects, planning work tied to implementation, monitoring, outreach, and similar partner-driven efforts.

Even though the program is titled "Challenge Cost Share," the posted listing indicated that cost sharing or matching was not required for this particular opportunity. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was generally open to any type of applicant entity, as long as the applicant met any conditions described in the full announcement. In practice, opportunities like this are commonly used to engage a wide variety of partners such as local governments, tribes, universities, nonprofit organizations, watershed councils, community groups, and other stakeholders that can contribute expertise, capacity, volunteers, data, or complementary resources to help meet shared stewardship goals on BLM-managed lands.
