Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) offered a discretionary funding opportunity titled "BLM OR/WA Lincoln County Sage Grouse Mitigation and Education, Spokane District" (Funding Opportunity Number L13AS00234) to support work in Lincoln County, Washington focused on greater sage-grouse conservation through wildfire-related education and on-the-ground mitigation. The core purpose of the project was to create a clear, accessible platform for public education that helps local residents and stakeholders understand why wildland fire management matters for sage-grouse and the health of its sagebrush-steppe habitat. In addition to outreach and education, the opportunity emphasized implementing or enabling mitigation projects that would contribute to the species' recovery and reduce the risk of the greater sage-grouse being listed under the Endangered Species Act.
This opportunity was structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the BLM expected to remain actively involved during project implementation rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The program aligned with natural resource objectives under CFDA 15.228, National Fire Plan, specifically the Wildland Urban Interface Community Fire Assistance component, reflecting the intersection of community wildfire concerns and habitat conservation. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated, which lowered the barrier to participation for organizations that might not have access to significant non-federal matching funds.
Funding details indicated an estimated total program funding of $500,000, with an award ceiling of $129,000 and an award floor of $1. The announcement anticipated making one award. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity could apply as long as it met any requirements or clarifications contained in the full announcement materials. Key dates show the notice was posted and created on August 28, 2013, with an application deadline of September 6, 2013, and the opportunity later archived on August 27, 2014.
For applicants needing the full set of instructions and required application forms, the announcement directed users to the online application package via the "APPLICATION" tab in the source posting. The listed point of contact for access issues was Jessica Clark at BLM (503-808-6226, j1clark@blm.gov). Overall, the opportunity centered on combining community-facing education about wildfire and sage-grouse habitat with tangible mitigation actions intended to improve habitat conditions, support recovery efforts, and help avoid an ESA listing.
