Opportunity Summary:
The Butte Stewardship Project (Funding Opportunity Number BLM MT RFA09 1356) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior intended to fund on-the-ground habitat work on public lands managed within the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Butte Field Office in Montana. The purpose is to carry out habitat improvement, restoration, and enhancement actions that directly benefit wildlife populations and help restore degraded or altered habitats across several ecosystem types, specifically rangeland, forested, and riparian environments. In practical terms, the opportunity is focused on stewardship-style projects that improve ecological condition and function on BLM-administered lands, with an emphasis on measurable habitat outcomes rather than research alone.
The award is offered as a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates that BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project during implementation (for example, coordination on work plans, technical input, alignment with field office priorities, and oversight of deliverables). The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the listing is associated with CFDA 15.233, Forests and Woodlands Resource Management. The announcement anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $74,000. The posting date and creation date were both August 6, 2009, with an original and current closing date of August 31, 2009, and an archive date of September 30, 2009.
Eligible applicants include state and local governments, institutions of higher education, and nonprofit entities, with the general eligibility category listed as "Others" and a note indicating applicants should consult the full announcement for any clarifications or additional eligibility conditions. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or a matching contribution, meaning applicants were not obligated to bring non-federal funds to be considered, although applicants sometimes still propose leveraged contributions if they strengthen the overall project scope. Additional details and the full announcement were made available through Grants.gov, and applicants who could not access the announcement electronically were directed to contact the Grants Management Officer, Lori J. Anderson, at landerso@blm.gov.
Overall, the grant is designed for organizations capable of planning and implementing habitat-focused stewardship work on BLM lands in the Butte Field Office area, targeting restoration and enhancement outcomes for wildlife and for key habitat types such as rangelands, forests, and riparian corridors.
