Opportunity Summary:

The Sheboygan River Area of Concern Habitat Restoration grant (Funding Opportunity Number L14AS00097) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered by the Bureau of Land Management through a cooperative agreement. Its core goal is to restore watershed function and improve wildlife habitat within the Sheboygan River Area of Concern, a stretch of the river identified as severely impaired due to historic pollution, ongoing urbanization pressures, and long-term habitat degradation. The project is framed around practical, on-the-ground restoration that helps the river system recover ecological function, with the broader intent of improving the health and resilience of the watershed.

The public benefits highlighted in the announcement focus on tangible outcomes for both people and the environment. By improving habitat and watershed conditions, the effort is expected to support a restored fishery, lower the risk associated with contaminated fish, and expand or enhance recreation opportunities tied to the Sheboygan River. In other words, the opportunity is not only about ecological repair, but also about reducing exposure risks and improving how the community can safely use and enjoy the river.

The opportunity anticipates a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $5,000. Individual awards are expected to range from a $1,000 floor up to a $5,000 ceiling. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning recipients should be prepared to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or eligible in-kind support, depending on the full announcement terms) to help complete the project.

Eligible applicants include state governments, city or township governments, and nonprofit organizations with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The funding is associated with CFDA number 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management, and the activity category is listed as Environment, which aligns with the habitat and watershed restoration purpose described.

Key dates show the announcement was posted and created on May 15, 2014, with an application closing date of June 16, 2014, and an archive date of July 16, 2014.
