Opportunity Summary:
The CALIFORNIA BLM FIRE COMMUNITY PROTECTION/COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: CA NOI 08 0009) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding notice tied to the National Fire Plan, specifically the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) Community Fire Assistance program (CFDA 15.228). It is issued as a Notice of Intent, meaning the agency is signaling its plan to make an award rather than running a broad, open competition for new applicants. The announcement indicates that BLM intends to fund a continuation cooperative agreement with a specific organization: California Fire Safe Council, Inc. In practical terms, this type of notice typically reflects ongoing work under an existing relationship where BLM expects to continue supporting established activities, partnerships, or deliverables rather than selecting from a wide pool of new proposals.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally implies substantial federal involvement during the performance of the project compared to a standard grant. That usually means BLM may play an active role in coordination, technical input, oversight, or joint planning as the supported fire protection and community assistance work is carried out. The activity category is Environment, consistent with wildfire prevention, fuels reduction, community preparedness, and related WUI risk reduction efforts that support communities near fire-prone public and private lands.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $15,000,000, with an award ceiling of $15,000,000 and an award floor of $30,000. Only one award is expected. The posting date is July 28, 2008, with a creation date of August 19, 2008. The original closing date was August 8, 2008, later reflected as a current closing date of September 5, 2008, and an archive date of September 30, 2008. The announcement also states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award (based on what is shown in the opportunity summary).
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, because this is a Notice of Intent to continue funding a named organization, it should be understood as a targeted continuation action rather than a general solicitation where multiple nonprofits would compete for selection. Anyone seeking the full details is directed to the attachment referenced in the notice, which would normally contain the scope of work, expected outcomes, reporting requirements, and any continuation terms.
For questions or help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Traci Thaler, Grants and Agreements Specialist at BLM, reachable by phone at 916-978-4529 or by email at tthaler@blm.gov.
