Opportunity Summary:
The "Wildlife Water Maintenance and Development" grant opportunity is a discretionary funding program from the U.S. Department of the Interior, focused on supporting continued maintenance and development of wildlife water sources across the State of Arizona. The core purpose is straightforward: to build, improve, or maintain water infrastructure that provides reliable water access for a wide range of Arizona wildlife species. In an arid environment like Arizona, these water developments can be essential for helping wildlife persist through dry periods, supporting habitat use across large landscapes, and improving overall ecosystem resilience.
This opportunity was offered under Funding Opportunity Number BLM AZ NOI 09 1645 and is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant. The funding activity category is Environment, and the associated CFDA number is 15.238. Only one award was expected, with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. The award ceiling was also $50,000, and the award floor was listed as $0, indicating flexibility in the final award amount up to the maximum available funding.
Eligibility for this funding was limited to state governments, aligning with the statewide scope of wildlife water development and the likelihood that the work would be coordinated through state-led wildlife or land management programs. The announcement also included a cost sharing or matching requirement under a challenge cost share approach, meaning the recipient would be expected to contribute non-federal resources (such as state funds, partner contributions, in-kind labor, or other qualifying support) to help meet the project costs and demonstrate shared investment.
The timeline for the opportunity was short and fixed. It was posted and created on September 1, 2009, with an original and current closing date of September 7, 2009. The opportunity was later archived on October 7, 2009. For applicants or interested parties who had difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Paul Stout, Grants Management Officer, reachable at paulstout@blm.gov.
