Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R14AS00013) was offered by the Bureau of Reclamation, Great Plains Region, through its Nebraska-Kansas Area Office, to support work under the Water Conservation Field Services Program (WCFSP) during federal fiscal year 2014, covering the period from October 1, 2013 through September 30, 2014. The program focus sits within the natural resources category and is aimed at advancing practical, on-the-ground water conservation efforts consistent with Reclamation's mission in the Great Plains area, particularly where water management and efficiency improvements can produce measurable conservation outcomes.
The announcement described a discretionary grant competition with an anticipated four awards. Total estimated funding available across all awards was $100,000, and the maximum amount for any single award (the award ceiling) was also listed as $100,000, with 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 toward the project cost, rather than relying entirely on federal funds. In practice, this type of requirement typically encourages local investment and helps stretch limited federal dollars across more conservation work.
Eligibility was limited to governmental entities, specifically county governments, state governments, special district governments, Native American tribal governments that are federally recognized, and city or township governments. This eligibility scope indicates the program was designed for public-sector implementation, such as water districts, municipal water providers, irrigation districts, state agencies, counties, or tribal governments that can carry out conservation-oriented planning or field activities and document public benefits.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on December 12, 2013, with an application deadline of February 10, 2014.
