Opportunity Summary:
The Water Conservation Field Services Program (WCFSP) grant opportunity for the Bureau of Reclamation's Lower Colorado Region, Phoenix Area Office is a discretionary federal funding opportunity focused on water conservation work tied to Reclamation-related projects within the Phoenix Area Office jurisdiction. The notice functions as the formal Notice of Funding Opportunity and is intended to give applicants the full set of required materials and instructions, including the main funding announcement, a Supplemental Information Questionnaire, a benefits form, and other application components that must be submitted as part of a complete package. In practical terms, this is a competitive grant solicitation aimed at supporting on-the-ground or programmatic efforts that advance water conservation objectives in areas served by the Phoenix Area Office.
Funding under this opportunity is modest and structured for a small number of awards. The total estimated funding available is $90,000, with an expectation of three awards. Individual awards are anticipated to fall between $20,000 (award floor) and $30,000 (award ceiling). The funding instrument is a grant, and applicants should plan for cost sharing or matching because the opportunity explicitly requires it. The program is listed under CFDA 15.530, which corresponds to the Water Conservation Field Services Program, and the activity category is identified as Environment, reinforcing that the underlying purpose is conservation-focused rather than, for example, construction-heavy infrastructure expansion.
Eligibility is relatively broad across public and nonprofit entities, but it is not open-ended. Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). In addition, the announcement notes "others" may be eligible as clarified in an additional eligibility section, but the key eligibility qualifier stated in the notice is that applicant agencies must have a tie to Bureau of Reclamation related projects. That qualifier matters because it signals the program is intended for organizations already engaged in, supporting, or directly connected to Reclamation projects, facilities, or water management efforts, rather than applicants proposing unrelated environmental work.
The timeline provided in the notice indicates the opportunity was posted on August 7, 2009, with an application closing date of August 28, 2009 (the original and current closing date are the same). The archive date is August 31, 2009, meaning it was formally closed and archived shortly after the deadline. Applicants were expected to follow the detailed guidance in the full announcement for what constitutes a complete submission, including the required supplemental forms and any narrative or technical elements needed to demonstrate eligibility, the conservation benefits of the proposed work, and how matching or cost-share requirements would be met.
For technical or access issues related to obtaining the full announcement materials electronically, the notice directs applicants to contact Linda Howell, Agreements Specialist at the Bureau of Reclamation, by phone at 623-773-6283. The funding opportunity number associated with this solicitation is 09SF320002, and the title is "Water Conservation Field Services Program - Phoenix Area Office," which applicants would use to ensure they reference the correct opportunity in communications and application documents.
