Opportunity Summary:
The COMMUNITY FIRE ASSISTANCE - WILDLAND FIRE RELATED PROJECTS opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00269) is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), focused on Community Wildfire Protection work in Colorado. The core purpose is to provide financial support for a wide range of wildland fire related projects that strengthen preparedness, mitigation, and community resilience in areas affected by or vulnerable to wildland fire, particularly in wildland-urban interface settings. The opportunity is designed to benefit local capability and coordination by funding practical projects that help communities reduce risk, improve response readiness, and support wildfire education and prevention efforts.
Funding is provided through a Cooperative Agreement, meaning recipients should generally expect a more collaborative relationship with the federal agency than a standard grant, often involving coordination, shared program goals, or agency involvement during the project period. The program falls under CFDA 15.228, National Fire Plan - Wildland Urban Interface Community Fire Assistance, which signals alignment with broader national efforts to reduce wildfire risk where communities and wildlands meet. The announcement anticipates making about 10 awards, with an estimated total funding pool of $116,000. Individual awards are expected to range from a minimum (floor) of $5,000 up to a maximum (ceiling) of $35,000, giving applicants flexibility to propose both smaller targeted efforts and more substantial community projects within that cap.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the program is broadly open to applicant types, consistent with the stated intent to support fire departments, local governments, community service organizations, educational institutions, and nonprofit organizations throughout Colorado. In practice, this indicates the BLM intended the opportunity to be accessible to many local and community-based entities that can carry out wildfire-related work and demonstrate public benefit. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can reduce barriers for smaller departments or nonprofits with limited budgets and makes it easier to propose projects based primarily on need and impact rather than the ability to raise matching dollars.
Key dates show this was a time-limited, archived opportunity from 2012. It was posted and created on August 28, 2012, with an application deadline of September 11, 2012, and an archive date of October 15, 2012. Applicants at the time were directed to use the "Application" section of the full announcement to obtain complete instructions and requirements.
