Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00171
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Idaho Fuels Management and Community Fire Assistance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L22AS00171) is a discretionary federal grant program administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through BLM. It is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means BLM expects to have substantial involvement during the project (for example, coordinating on planning, implementation, monitoring, reporting, or technical oversight) rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The program sits in the Natural Resources funding activity area under CFDA 15.228, and it focuses on efforts connected to fuels management and community fire assistance in Idaho, which generally includes work that reduces hazardous wildland fuels, supports wildfire risk reduction, and strengthens community preparedness and resilience.
Eligibility is limited to public and mission-driven entities rather than private commercial applicants. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city/township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments); public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; and nonprofit organizations, including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in that latter category). Individuals and for-profit organizations are explicitly ineligible to apply under this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), so any private businesses or sole proprietors cannot be direct applicants for awards under this announcement.
A key restriction in this NOFO is that it does not support proposals that involve hiring interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. The notice makes the point that the Public Lands Corps Act (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II) is the only legislative authority that allows BLM to "hire" interns under that framework, and this particular NOFO is not the vehicle for those kinds of youth internship or crew-based arrangements. As a result, Youth Conservation Corps-type projects that are specifically developed under Public Lands Corps authorities are directed to a different BLM funding announcement: NOFO 15.243, titled BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands. In practical terms, applicants should avoid structuring their project around Public Lands Corps internships or crew hiring and should instead focus their proposal on fuels and community fire assistance outcomes that fit within this NOFO's scope and authorities.
From the funding details provided, the award ceiling is listed as $400,000, meaning individual awards are not expected to exceed that amount under this opportunity. The original closing date for applications was March 28, 2022, and the opportunity record indicates it was created on January 26, 2022. While the number of expected awards is not specified in the provided source data, the ceiling communicates the upper limit per award and can help applicants scale their budgets and project scope appropriately.
In summary, this BLM Idaho funding opportunity supports cooperative agreements for natural resource projects tied to fuels management and community wildfire assistance, is open to a wide range of governmental, tribal, educational, housing authority, and nonprofit entities, excludes individuals and for-profit organizations, and specifically steers youth internship or crew proposals under the Public Lands Corps Act to a separate BLM youth-focused NOFO rather than allowing them under this announcement.Apply for L22AS00171
