Opportunity Summary:
The BLM OR/WA Umpqua Basin Restoration Project (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00159) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the Bureau of Land Management to support on-the-ground restoration work in Oregon and Washington focused on the Umpqua River basin. The central purpose of the project is to improve ecological conditions in the basin by enhancing fish and wildlife habitat, improving water quality, and increasing overall fish productivity. In practice, this type of restoration funding is generally aimed at efforts that make aquatic and riparian systems function better over the long term, such as improving habitat complexity, reducing sediment and other water-quality stressors, and helping streams and floodplains provide healthier conditions for fish and other native species.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to be substantially involved during the life of the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The opportunity falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.234, Secure Rural Schools and Community Self Determination, a program commonly used to fund projects that benefit forested landscapes and rural communities, including watershed and fisheries restoration. The announcement anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000. Individual award amounts were listed with a ceiling of $30,000 and a floor of $1, which indicates the BLM expected proposals of varying sizes within that cap even though the broader funding estimate for the opportunity as a whole was larger.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to bring non-federal match to be considered. The opportunity was posted on June 19, 2014, with an application deadline (original and final) of July 21, 2014, and it was later archived on June 18, 2015. For applicants needing the complete announcement and application package, the notice directed them to the "Application" materials in the posting, and provided a BLM contact for assistance: Jessica Clark (503-808-6226, j1clark@blm.gov).
