Opportunity Summary:
The Water Conservation Field Services Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R15AS00011) was offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Great Plains Region, Montana Area Office. It was a discretionary grant program under CFDA 15.530, focused on natural resources work tied specifically to water conservation. The announcement invited proposals for projects to be carried out during federal fiscal year 2015, covering the period from October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015. In practical terms, the program’s purpose was to fund on-the-ground activities that support Reclamation’s Water Conservation Field Services Program mission, which generally centers on improving water use efficiency, advancing conservation practices, and strengthening water management approaches in Reclamation-related service areas.
Funding for the opportunity was relatively small and targeted. The estimated total funding available was $200,000, and Reclamation anticipated making about three awards. Individual awards could be as large as $100,000 (the award ceiling), with no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). A cost-sharing or matching requirement applied, meaning applicants were expected to contribute non-federal resources or other qualifying match as part of the overall project budget, rather than relying entirely on federal funds.
Eligible applicants were limited to public-sector and tribal governmental entities. Specifically, the opportunity was open to federally recognized Native American tribal governments, as well as city or township governments, county governments, state governments, and special district governments. This eligibility list signals the program was designed for public water managers and local or regional governmental bodies that operate, maintain, or oversee water systems and conservation programs, rather than private companies or individuals.
Key dates show the funding round was time-limited. The opportunity was posted and created on December 2, 2014. The application deadline (original and final) was February 2, 2015, and the announcement was archived on February 3, 2015. Additional details and full application instructions were provided through Grants.gov at https://www.grants.gov, which is where applicants would typically retrieve the full notice, required forms, and submission requirements.
