Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Restoration and Maintenance grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00216) was a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), focused on strengthening locally driven ecosystem restoration work on forests and woodlands. The core purpose of the cooperative agreement was to build community capacity and make it easier for communities, BLM field offices, and local collaborative groups to design and carry out restoration projects together. A major emphasis of the program was improving public understanding that land and resource challenges are best addressed through integrated, landscape-scale approaches to resource management rather than isolated, single-issue efforts.
This opportunity was designed to encourage community-based forest and woodland restoration projects that involve BLM districts working in partnership with local collaboratives. In practical terms, it aimed to support partnerships that can organize stakeholders, develop shared priorities, and move restoration concepts into coordinated on-the-ground projects. The announcement also explicitly highlighted the importance of linking restoration with biomass utilization, reflecting a broader land management goal of pairing ecosystem health work (such as thinning or fuels reduction) with strategies to responsibly use the biomass material generated through restoration activities.
The program was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning recipients would generally work closely with BLM and expect substantial federal involvement during the project, rather than receiving a hands-off grant. The funding activity category was Environment, and it was associated with CFDA 15.233, Forests and Woodlands Resource Management. BLM anticipated making one award under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. The award ceiling was $100,000 and the award floor was $10,000, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted on August 12, 2011, and had an application deadline of September 12, 2011, with the archive date listed as October 12, 2011. Additional details and the full announcement were available through Grants.gov. For help accessing the announcement, the listed contact was Lisa Clayton, Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable by phone at 202-912-7098 or by email at lisaclayton@blm.gov.
