Opportunity Summary:
The Department of the Interior, through the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), offered a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Partnering for Conservation, Restoration, and Stewardship on Las Cienegas NCA (CCS)" under Funding Opportunity Number BLM AZ NOI 09 1276. This opportunity was structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates a partnership-style award where the agency expects to be substantially involved in the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The program falls under the Environment activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.238, the Challenge Cost Share program, which is commonly used by DOI bureaus to support on-the-ground conservation projects through collaboration with eligible partners.
The announcement anticipated making one award with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. Notably, the listing indicates there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement for applicants, meaning an applicant could propose a project without having to commit non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility. The eligible applicant pool was limited to nonprofit organizations holding 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. In practical terms, that means the opportunity was aimed at qualified charitable nonprofits capable of carrying out conservation, restoration, and stewardship work in partnership with BLM on the Las Cienegas National Conservation Area (NCA).
The opportunity was posted and created on June 23, 2009, with an original and current closing date of July 8, 2009, reflecting a relatively short application window. The opportunity was later archived on August 7, 2009. While the brief description provided in the listing only states "Challenge Cost Share program," the title clarifies the intended focus: partnering to support conservation, restoration, and stewardship activities specifically on the Las Cienegas NCA. In general, projects under this kind of NCA-focused Challenge Cost Share effort often relate to habitat restoration, invasive species management, riparian or watershed improvements, monitoring and stewardship activities, and collaborative initiatives that help maintain ecological integrity and responsible public land management. Because it is a cooperative agreement, applicants would typically be expected to coordinate closely with BLM staff on planning, implementation, reporting, and possibly shared decision-making or field involvement.
For applicants or interested parties needing full details, the announcement pointed to Grants.gov as the primary source of the complete posting and application instructions. The designated contact for access issues or questions was Paul Stout at paulstout@blm.gov.
