Opportunity Summary:
The Watershed Stewardship of the Lake Fork of the Gunnison in Colorado grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BLM CO NOI 09 1236) was a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It was structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the agency expected to have substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant. The overall purpose of the opportunity was broad watershed stewardship in the Lake Fork of the Gunnison area of Colorado, with an emphasis on protecting and improving a mix of resources tied to the watershed, including natural resources, cultural resources, recreation, community values, and local economic interests.
The opportunity fell under the funding activity category of Natural Resources and was associated with CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. The estimated total funding available was $33,000, and the posting did not specify how many awards would be made. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award, although cooperative agreements can still include expectations about partner contributions depending on project design and agency involvement.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, indicating that it was open to a wide range of applicant types (for example, nonprofits, local governments, tribes, educational institutions, or other entities), subject to any additional eligibility details that might have been included in the full announcement. Applications were accepted through Grants.gov, which suggests the application package and required forms were handled through the standard federal electronic grants portal.
Timing-wise, this was a short-turnaround opportunity. It was posted on September 15, 2009, with both the original and current closing date listed as September 19, 2009. The opportunity was archived on October 16, 2009. Anyone trying to access the full announcement electronically or needing assistance was directed to contact Yvonne Pier at yvonnepier@blm.gov.
