Opportunity Summary:
The New Mexico Hazardous Fuels Reduction Project Utilizing Veterans is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary grant opportunity designed to support on-the-ground hazardous fuels reduction work on public lands in New Mexico. The core purpose is to reduce wildfire risk by implementing fuels projects that help protect nearby communities, improve firefighter and public safety, and safeguard wildlife habitat and other sensitive natural and cultural resource values. A central feature of the program is its emphasis on creating employment opportunities for Veterans, particularly those who may be having difficulty finding work, by involving them directly in project implementation.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM expected to have substantial involvement in the funded project rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The funding activity falls under the Natural Resources category and is associated with CFDA 15.228 (National Fire Plan - Wildland Urban Interface Community Fire Assistance), reflecting its alignment with national efforts to reduce wildfire hazards in areas where communities and wildlands meet.
The program anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a floor of $100,000 up to a ceiling of $500,000. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which reduces barriers for applicants that might not have additional non-federal funds available.
Eligibility was broad and included a mix of governmental, tribal, and nonprofit entities. Eligible applicants included state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and other Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized. Eligible educational entities included both public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education. The opportunity also allowed applications from nonprofit organizations, including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they were not institutions of higher education), as well as independent school districts. This wide eligibility suggests the BLM intended to attract partners that already have operational capacity in forestry, fuels reduction, conservation corps-style workforce programs, or Veteran employment and training.
Key dates in the announcement show it was posted and created on June 1, 2010, with an original and final closing date of June 30, 2010. The opportunity was later archived on August 2, 2010. Applicants were directed to Grants.gov for full announcement details and application materials.
For assistance or questions, the listed point of contact was Janet Yvonne Huff, Grants Management Officer at the BLM, reachable by phone at 505-761-8941 or by email at jhuff@blm.gov.
