Opportunity Summary:
The Water Conservation Field Services Program (WCFSP) grant opportunity for the Bureau of Reclamation's Great Plains Region, Oklahoma-Texas Area Office (Funding Opportunity Number R12SF60006) is a discretionary funding program designed to support practical, on-the-ground water conservation and efficiency improvements tied to Reclamation projects. The core purpose of the announcement is to encourage eligible organizations to partner with Reclamation through cost sharing, combining federal funding with non-federal resources to stretch project impact and accelerate water management improvements.
This opportunity focuses on proposals that accomplish one or more of three main objectives. First, it supports the development of written water management and conservation plans, with an emphasis on plans that lead directly to measurable water conservation, improved water use efficiency, and/or better operational efficiency. Second, it funds implementation of actions that have already been identified in approved, written water management and/or conservation plans, which signals that Reclamation is looking for projects grounded in planning and ready to move toward execution. Third, it can support infrastructure-related work, including construction, modification, or enhancement of existing facilities, where those improvements are connected to conservation goals and more efficient water delivery or use.
Awards are offered either as grants or cooperative agreements, meaning projects may involve varying levels of federal involvement depending on the specific award structure. The total estimated funding available under this announcement is $200,000, with an expectation of approximately three awards. Individual awards can range from as little as $1 up to a ceiling of $100,000. A cost-sharing or matching contribution is required, so applicants must be prepared to commit non-federal funds or other eligible resources as part of the project budget.
Eligible applicants include irrigation and/or water districts, state or local water agencies, Reclamation water contractors, and water-related nonprofit organizations, as long as they have a defined relationship to one or more Reclamation projects. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA number is 15.530 (Water Conservation Field Services Program), which helps identify the program in federal assistance catalogs and reporting systems.
The opportunity was initially posted on January 31, 2012, created on March 22, 2012, and had its closing date extended from March 1, 2012 to April 6, 2012, with an archive date of April 7, 2012. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Lindsey Nafts, Grants Officer, reachable by phone at 406-247-7684.
