Opportunity Summary:
The Water Conservation Field Services Program (WCFSP) opportunity, issued by the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) through its Great Plains Regional Office, Dakotas Area Office, was a discretionary federal grant solicitation for Federal fiscal year 2015. The program sought proposals for activities that support Reclamation's water conservation mission during the FY2015 period (October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015). In practical terms, this funding opportunity was aimed at helping eligible public and community-based entities plan and carry out projects that improve water conservation and related natural resource outcomes in the Dakotas Area Office context.
This opportunity was published on Grants.gov under Funding Opportunity Number R15AS00004, with a posted and creation date of December 2, 2014. The application deadline (original and final) was February 2, 2015, and the opportunity was archived on February 3, 2015. It fell under the "Natural Resources" funding activity category and used the "Grant" funding instrument type. The associated CFDA number was 15.530, which corresponds to the Water Conservation Field Services Program.
Funding was relatively modest and competitive. Reclamation anticipated making about three awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $200,000. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) was $100,000, and the minimum award amount (award floor) was listed as $0, which typically signals that project sizes could vary and that some awards might be smaller depending on the quality of proposals and available funds. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applied, meaning applicants were expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind, depending on the specific program rules) toward the total project cost.
Eligible applicants included a range of governmental and quasi-governmental entities: state governments, county governments, and city or township governments; special district governments (often relevant for water, irrigation, or conservation districts); and Native American tribal organizations other than federally recognized tribal governments (as specifically stated in the eligibility list for this announcement). Organizations considering this funding would have needed to confirm that their legal status fit within one of those categories and that they could meet the matching requirement.
For applicants needing the full announcement or assistance accessing it, Reclamation provided a point of contact: Lindsey Nafts, Grants Officer, reachable at (406) 247-7684 and by email at lnafts@usbr.gov. The official listing referenced an additional information link via Grants.gov for the full solicitation details, requirements, and application instructions.
