Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Notice of Intent to Award Funds to Uncompahgre Watershed Partnership" (Funding Opportunity Number R14AS00017) is a discretionary grant announcement issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, under CFDA 15.554, the Cooperative Watershed Management Program. The key point is that this notice is not a competitive solicitation and it is not asking other organizations to submit proposals. Instead, it serves as a formal public notice that the Bureau of Reclamation intends to award grant funds specifically to the Uncompahgre Watershed Partnership to support the completion and closeout of work already underway within the Cooperative Watershed Management Program framework.
The Bureau of Reclamation listed the funding instrument as a grant and categorized the activity area as natural resources. The notice anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $43,000. The stated award ceiling was also $43,000, indicating the full amount intended for the recipient, while the award floor was listed as $1, which is a common administrative minimum used in listings even when the planned award amount is effectively fixed. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would not be required to provide a non-federal match to receive the federal funds referenced in the notice.
Although the eligible applicant category is described broadly as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) IRS status (excluding institutions of higher education), the structure and wording make clear that eligibility is not being used to invite applications from the wider nonprofit community in this case. Because it is a notice of intent to award to a named entity, the practical purpose is transparency: it documents the agency's intent to direct funds to the Uncompahgre Watershed Partnership for a defined purpose, specifically the conclusion of work to be completed under the Cooperative Watershed Management Program, rather than opening a competition.
In terms of timeline, the opportunity was posted and created on December 31, 2013, with an original and current closing date of January 14, 2014, and an archive date of January 15, 2014. Those dates function more like an administrative posting window for the notice than a true application deadline, since the announcement does not solicit proposals. Anyone needing access assistance or clarification was directed to contact the Bureau of Reclamation Grants Officer, Michelle Maher, at 303-445-2025 or mmaher@usbr.gov.
