Opportunity Summary:
The FA BLM AZ Pima County CWPP grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L11AS00162) was a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), focused on natural resource and wildfire-related planning work in Pima County, Arizona. The project purpose is centered on the Pima County Wildfire Protection Plan, commonly referred to as a CWPP (Community Wildfire Protection Plan). In practical terms, this type of plan is designed to help a community identify wildfire risks, prioritize areas for mitigation, and coordinate actions that reduce hazards to people, property, and natural resources, especially in wildland-urban interface areas where homes and infrastructure meet fire-prone landscapes.
Funding was offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as collaboration on technical direction, coordination with partners, and review of deliverables. The opportunity was tied to CFDA 15.228 under the National Fire Plan, specifically the Wildland Urban Interface Community Fire Assistance program area, indicating the intent to support wildfire preparedness and risk reduction efforts benefiting communities at the edge of public lands and fire-adapted ecosystems.
The total estimated funding amount for the announcement was $100,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and an award floor of $1. Only one award was expected, suggesting the funding was intended for a single lead applicant or partnership to carry out the plan work. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for eligible applicants by not requiring non-federal funds to be contributed as a condition of receiving the award.
A wide range of applicants were eligible, including county governments, city or township governments, state governments, special district governments, federally recognized tribal governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, public housing authorities (including Indian housing authorities), and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). This broad eligibility reflects the collaborative nature of wildfire protection planning, which often involves local government leadership, land management agencies, tribes, community organizations, and technical experts.
