Opportunity Summary:
The Idaho BLM 2014 Challenge Cost Share (CCS) Program is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), focused on building partnerships with non-federal entities to support public land management in Idaho. The core purpose of the program is to promote cooperative, on-the-ground projects that align with BLM land management goals by leveraging collaboration with outside organizations. In practical terms, this program is intended to encourage joint efforts where BLM and non-federal partners work together on natural resource-related activities that benefit public lands.
This opportunity was released under Funding Opportunity Number L12AS00170, titled "Idaho BLM 2014 Challenge Cost Share (CCS) Program." The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates a more hands-on federal role than a standard grant, often involving coordination, technical input, or shared responsibilities between BLM and the recipient during project execution. The activity category is Natural Resources, reflecting that projects are expected to address resource stewardship and public land management needs.
BLM anticipated making about 20 awards under this announcement, with an estimated total program funding amount of $600,000. Individual awards were expected to be relatively small to moderate, with an award ceiling of $40,000 and no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). Although the program is named "Challenge Cost Share," the listing states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement for applicants under this specific announcement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute matching funds as a condition of eligibility, even though the program concept emphasizes partnership and shared contributions.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning applications could come from a wide range of entity types, but the key qualifier is that awards are intended for non-federal partners. That typically includes organizations such as state or local governments, tribes, nonprofits, educational institutions, and potentially private entities, as long as they meet any further eligibility details that may have been included in the full announcement instructions. The program’s emphasis on partnerships implies that proposals would likely be more competitive when they clearly demonstrate collaboration, mutual benefit, and alignment with BLM priorities for managing and improving public lands.
The opportunity was posted on July 17, 2012, with an original closing date of December 15, 2012, and a current closing date of December 14, 2012. The announcement was later archived on May 31, 2013. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.238, identified as "Challenge Cost Share," which is the federal assistance listing used to track and categorize this type of program.
