Opportunity Summary:
The "Sage Grouse Work in Montana" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00234) is a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) discretionary funding program focused on natural resources conservation, specifically supporting efforts to conserve sage grouse habitat and populations in Montana. The core purpose is to put sage grouse conservation strategies into practice by working directly with Local Working Groups. A major emphasis of the opportunity is building local ownership and long-term community support for conservation actions, while also documenting measurable success so these local organizations can be strengthened and potentially expanded over time.
This funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the BLM expects to have substantial involvement during the project period rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. Projects supported under this opportunity would be expected to align with locally driven conservation priorities and to help Local Working Groups coordinate on-the-ground strategies, improve participation, and develop a track record of effective implementation. In practical terms, this could involve planning and coordination activities, collaborative conservation implementation, and efforts that help formalize, sustain, or scale Local Working Groups by demonstrating results and building credibility.
The opportunity anticipated making one award, with total estimated funding of $100,000. However, the award amount listed is tightly defined: both the award ceiling and award floor are $25,000, indicating that the individual award associated with this posting is expected to be exactly $25,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which can reduce barriers for applicants who may not have additional funds available.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity, subject to any clarifications that may be included in the full announcement. The grant was posted on July 30, 2010, with an application deadline of August 24, 2010 (both the original and current closing date are the same). Applicants were directed to review full details through Grants.gov, and for assistance accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed contact was Lori Anderson, Grants Management Officer at the Bureau of Land Management (phone 406-896-5196, email landerso@blm.gov).
