Opportunity Summary:
The "Challenge Cost Share California Condor Environmental Lead Reduction" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00209) is a discretionary funding program offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in the environmental funding activity area. The central purpose of the opportunity is to support efforts that reduce environmental lead exposure affecting the California condor, with the broader long-term goal of improving condor survival and recovery to the point where the species can be removed from the Endangered Species List. A key emphasis is helping establish a self-sustaining population of California condors within their historical range in northern Arizona, where lead exposure has been a major, ongoing threat to successful reintroduction and population stability.
This opportunity was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected recipient would typically be expected to work closely with the federal agency during project implementation rather than operating entirely independently. The program anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. The award ceiling was also listed as $100,000, with an award floor of $1, indicating the agency expected one project to receive up to the full available amount. Despite the title referencing "Challenge Cost Share," the published details state that there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement for applicants under this announcement.
Eligibility for this funding was limited to state governments. The grant listing appeared on Grants.gov with a posted date of July 21, 2010, and the application window ran through August 6, 2010. The opportunity was later archived on August 21, 2010. The associated CFDA number was 15.238 (Challenge Cost Share), which ties the funding to a broader federal assistance program focused on partnering to accomplish conservation and resource management goals.
For applicants or interested parties who needed help accessing the full announcement or required administrative guidance, the listed point of contact was Paul Stout, Grants Management Officer, reachable by phone at 602-417-9268 or by email at paulstout@blm.gov. The announcement also provided an additional information link directing users to Grants.gov for the full set of official materials and application instructions.
