Opportunity Summary:
The Meadowood Restoration Partnership (Funding Opportunity Number ES RFA 08 8003) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), under the environment funding activity category. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the BLM expects to be substantially involved in the project alongside the award recipient rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The core purpose of the project is ecological restoration at the Meadowood Recreation Area, specifically targeting heavily damaged lands, riparian (streamside) areas, and native plant populations that need recovery or reestablishment.
Funding for this opportunity is limited and competitive, with one award expected. The estimated total available funding is $90,000, and the award ceiling is also $90,000, meaning the single selected project could receive up to that amount. The award floor is $41,947, indicating proposals below that level would not align with the minimum anticipated funding range. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants must plan to contribute non-federal resources (cash or eligible in-kind support, depending on the announcement rules) as part of the overall project budget.
Eligibility is restricted to nonprofit organizations that hold 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.225, Recreation Resource Management, which aligns with restoration and stewardship work tied to public lands and recreation areas. The announcement was posted and created on July 18, 2008, with an application closing date of August 15, 2008, and it was archived on September 14, 2008.
