Opportunity Summary:
The Fish and Wildlife Conservation in the Gila District opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: BLM AZ NOI 09 1305) was a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It was issued under the Challenge Cost Share program (CFDA 15.238) and was designed to support cooperative, on-the-ground fish and wildlife conservation and management work in the Gila District of Arizona. The core purpose of the funding was to strengthen coordination between the Arizona Game and Fish Department and BLM so both agencies could jointly plan and carry out conservation actions that align with shared management goals on public lands within the district.
The award mechanism for this opportunity was a Cooperative Agreement, which typically signals an active partnership between the federal agency and the recipient rather than a hands-off pass-through of funds. In practical terms, that generally means BLM expected to be involved in key aspects of the project, such as coordinating work plans, providing technical input, aligning activities with district priorities, and ensuring that project implementation supports BLM land and resource management objectives while also meeting state fish and wildlife conservation needs.
Funding for the opportunity was relatively small and targeted: the estimated total funding amount was $100,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000 and an award floor of $0. BLM anticipated making one award, meaning the program was set up to fund a single project or a single recipient partnership rather than distributing funds across multiple grantees. Although the program is branded as "cost share," the listing indicated no cost-sharing or matching requirement for applicants under this specific announcement, so an applicant would not have been required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility or award.
Eligibility was limited to state governments, which fits the stated intent of partnering with the Arizona Game and Fish Department. The opportunity was categorized under the Environment funding activity category, consistent with habitat, species management, and broader conservation implementation. The posting date and creation date were both June 19, 2009. The original and current closing date was July 6, 2009, and the opportunity was later archived on August 5, 2009, indicating it was a time-limited solicitation that is no longer open.
For applicants or interested parties at the time, additional details were available through Grants.gov, and the point of contact listed for access issues with the full announcement was Paul Stout at paulstout@blm.gov.
