Opportunity Summary:
The Western Montana Cultural Inventory grant opportunity is a small, discretionary funding program from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), aimed at supporting a cultural resource inventory on public lands in western Montana. The project focus is cultural resource management work, which typically involves identifying, documenting, and evaluating cultural, historic, or archaeological resources so they can be considered in land use planning and compliance responsibilities on federal lands. The funding activity category is listed under natural resources, reflecting that the work supports stewardship of public lands by improving the information base for managing and protecting cultural resources.
This opportunity was released under Funding Opportunity Number BLM MT NOI09 0952, with the title Western Montana Cultural Inventory, and it was advertised as a Notice of Intent. That wording often signals an early-stage announcement or an intent to award, and applicants usually need to rely on the full announcement details (if available) for specific scope, deliverables, and application instructions. Even so, the core purpose is clear: to fund on-the-ground inventory work in western Montana on BLM-managed public lands.
Only one award was expected. Total estimated funding was $10,000, with an award ceiling of $10,000 and an award floor of $2,500. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds to be eligible or competitive. The opportunity falls under CFDA 15.224 (Cultural Resource Management), a federal assistance listing associated with projects that help identify, preserve, and manage cultural resources.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to a wide range of applicant types, subject to any additional constraints described in the full announcement under the eligibility clarification section. In practice, opportunities like this may attract proposals from tribes, universities, local governments, nonprofit organizations, museums, historical societies, and qualified cultural resource professionals or organizations capable of carrying out field inventory and reporting consistent with federal cultural resource standards.
