Opportunity Summary:
The Communities at Risk Assistance Program - Idaho (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00243) was a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) under the Natural Resources funding activity category. Its purpose was to reduce both the likelihood and the consequences of wildfire affecting communities in north-central Idaho, specifically within Clearwater, Idaho, Latah, Lewis, and Nez Perce counties. The program focus was practical and prevention-oriented, supporting work that helps communities prepare for wildfire and lowers overall wildfire danger in areas where people, property, and natural fuels meet.
The opportunity emphasized a range of wildfire risk-reduction strategies that typically fall under community wildfire preparedness and the wildland-urban interface (WUI) mission set. Supported activities included Community Protection Planning (such as developing or updating plans that identify local wildfire threats and outline prioritized mitigation steps), Hazardous Fuels Reduction (projects that remove or modify vegetation that can carry or intensify fire), and ongoing Maintenance and Monitoring (follow-up work to keep earlier treatments effective and to track conditions over time). It also highlighted Mitigation and Education, signaling that the program valued both on-the-ground actions and public-facing efforts that improve readiness, safety practices, and understanding of wildfire risk.
Funding was offered through a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, meaning the federal agency generally anticipates a more hands-on partnership role during the project period (for example, coordination, technical input, or shared oversight, depending on the agreement terms). The estimated total funding available for the opportunity was $21,020, and the award ceiling was also listed as $21,020, indicating that the program expected to make a single award (Expected Awards: 1) up to that amount. There was no stated cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of applicant, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that would have been provided in the full announcement package. The opportunity was associated with CFDA 15.228, National Fire Plan - Wildland Urban Interface Community Fire Assistance, linking it to broader federal efforts to reduce wildfire risk where communities and flammable vegetation overlap.
The posting date and creation date were both August 29, 2011, with an original and current application deadline of September 9, 2011. The opportunity was later archived on October 29, 2011, reflecting that it was a time-limited solicitation with a short application window. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement or needed assistance, the listed point of contact was Christine K. Shaver, Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable at 208-373-3817 or by email at cshaver@blm.gov.
