Opportunity Summary:
The Great Plains Region, Dakotas Area Office Water Conservation Field Services Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R14AS00019) was a discretionary grant announcement issued by the Bureau of Reclamation to support water conservation-related activities under its Water Conservation Field Services Program (WCFSP) for Federal Fiscal Year 2014. The program focus sits within the natural resources category and is intended to fund practical efforts that advance water conservation objectives in the Dakotas Area Office service region, consistent with Reclamation's broader mission to support efficient and sustainable water management.
The announcement anticipated making up to three awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $200,000. Individual awards could be as large as $100,000 (the award ceiling), and there was no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applied, meaning applicants were expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind, depending on the program rules in the full notice) toward the overall project cost rather than relying entirely on federal funding.
Eligible applicants were limited to governmental and quasi-governmental entities, including state governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, special district governments, city or township governments, and county governments. In other words, the opportunity was structured for public-sector applicants and similar public authorities that typically manage water resources, irrigation infrastructure, municipal supply systems, or regional conservation initiatives.
Key administrative details include a posted date of January 10, 2014, and a closing date of February 10, 2014, with the opportunity archived on February 11, 2014. The relevant CFDA program listing was 15.530 (Water Conservation Field Services Program), which is the catalog identifier used for tracking federal assistance programs.
