Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "FA BLM AZ Partnership with Tonono Oodham Nation" (Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00212) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant offered as a cooperative agreement under the Environment funding activity category. The purpose of the award is to support work that restores and repairs damage to natural resources and property in Southern Arizona, specifically damage associated with the impacts of illegal traffic moving through the region. In practice, this kind of project focus typically involves on-the-ground rehabilitation and protection efforts meant to address disturbances to lands, habitat, and infrastructure that can result from unauthorized cross-border or cross-country travel, including damage to soils, vegetation, wildlife habitat, cultural or sensitive sites, fences and gates, roads and trails, and other public land improvements.
The opportunity is structured to make a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $350,000. The award ceiling is also $350,000, indicating the program expected to fund one project up to that full amount, while the award floor is listed as $1. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated, meaning eligible applicants were not required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving the award. The CFDA listing associated with the opportunity is 15.225, Recreation Resource Management, which aligns with BLM work that commonly includes stewardship, restoration, site rehabilitation, visitor and land-use management, and protection of public resources.
Eligibility is limited to Native American tribal governments that are federally recognized. The title and framing of the opportunity indicate a partnership specifically involving the Tohono Oodham Nation, reflecting the cooperative nature of the instrument, where BLM and the recipient typically coordinate closely on planning, implementation, and oversight rather than operating strictly as a pass-through grant. The use of a cooperative agreement generally signals that substantial federal involvement is anticipated during the project period, which can include technical collaboration, joint field coordination, review and approval of work plans, or shared monitoring and reporting responsibilities.
Key dates show the announcement was posted on August 1, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 17, 2012, and an archive date of September 17, 2012.
