Opportunity Summary:
The Utah Challenge Cost Share (CCS) Program 2010 was a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in Utah. Its core purpose was to support practical, cost-effective projects carried out at the local level through partnerships between BLM and non-federal entities. The program emphasized shared investment and shared responsibility, using cooperative agreements to implement conservation and public land management work that benefits the general public and protects or improves public resources.
Program priorities were broad and centered on real-world stewardship outcomes on public lands. Eligible projects could address recreation improvements, habitat and species needs for fish and wildlife, protection or enhancement of special status plants, water quality efforts, and the care or restoration of cultural sites and historic trails. In other words, the opportunity was designed to fund on-the-ground actions that improve the condition, usability, and long-term sustainability of public lands and related natural and cultural resources across Utah, while leveraging non-federal contributions to stretch federal dollars further.
This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM UT RFA 10 1800; CFDA 15.238 Challenge Cost Share) anticipated making around 50 awards, with an estimated total program funding amount of $900,000. Individual awards had a stated minimum (award floor) of $500, indicating that even small, targeted projects could be considered alongside larger efforts. The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the project compared to a standard grant. A cost sharing or matching requirement applied, reflecting the program's partnership model and expectation that non-federal partners would contribute cash, in-kind services, labor, materials, or other eligible support.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity was broadly open to a wide range of applicant types, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement. The notice was originally posted on January 15, 2010, with an original closing date of January 30, 2010. The deadline was later extended to February 12, 2010 to give applicants more time to apply, and the opportunity was archived on April 30, 2010. Applicants seeking the full announcement were directed to Grants.gov, and those who had trouble accessing the materials electronically could contact Maria A. Gochis at mgochis@blm.gov.
