Opportunity Summary:
The NW Bird Conservation Regional Conservation grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OR NOI08 0011) was a discretionary funding announcement from the Bureau of Land Management focused on strengthening regional coordination for bird conservation in the Northwest. The core purpose of the project was to support coordinated, cross-jurisdiction bird conservation work so that federal and state agencies could more effectively meet bird conservation objectives at the national, regional, and local levels. A central emphasis of the opportunity was improving alignment across boundaries by promoting consistent approaches to monitoring and assessing bird populations, reducing gaps and inconsistencies that can occur when different agencies or states use different methods or priorities.
The funding instrument for this opportunity was a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that the awarding agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds. In practical terms, that often means the recipient would work closely with BLM and potentially other partners to coordinate plans, share data and methods, and ensure the work supports broader conservation strategies. The program area was listed under Natural Resources, and the CFDA number associated with the opportunity was 15.231 (Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management), indicating the grant fit within a broader federal framework for conserving wildlife and habitat resources.
Financially, the opportunity was relatively small and targeted: the estimated total funding was $50,000, with an award ceiling of $50,000 and an award floor of $0, and the agency anticipated making one award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning eligible applicants were not required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving the award. The eligible applicant pool was limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), suggesting the agency was looking for a nonprofit partner capable of convening stakeholders, coordinating across agencies, and supporting region-wide conservation planning and monitoring consistency.
The timeline indicates it was a short turnaround opportunity. The notice was posted on September 7, 2008, and the closing date was September 15, 2008, with the opportunity later archived on October 15, 2008. For applicants at the time, that would have meant moving quickly to propose a clear coordination approach, demonstrate existing partnerships or convening capacity, and outline how the work would improve consistency in monitoring and assessment across federal and state boundaries.
