Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00202
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Montana/Dakotas Fuels Management and Community Fire Assistance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L22AS00202) is a discretionary federal funding program offered through a cooperative agreement to support natural resources work tied to wildfire risk reduction and community fire assistance in the BLM Montana/Dakotas region. The program sits under CFDA 15.228 and is structured for projects that help manage hazardous fuels, improve wildfire preparedness and resilience, and support communities and partners in reducing the likelihood and severity of damaging wildfires. Because the instrument is a cooperative agreement, recipients should expect substantial federal involvement, meaning BLM will likely remain actively engaged in planning, coordination, technical direction, or other aspects of project implementation rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back.
Eligibility is limited to public entities, education institutions, tribal governments and tribal organizations, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and nonprofit organizations. Specifically, 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/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories). Individuals and for-profit organizations are explicitly ineligible, so proposals from private companies or sole applicants would not be accepted under this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO).
A key restriction in the NOFO is that it does not support organizations hiring interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993 for the purposes of this particular funding stream. The Public Lands Corps authority (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II) is described as the only legislative pathway BLM can use to "hire" interns under that specific authority. As a result, youth-focused conservation corps projects that rely on Public Lands Corps hiring mechanisms are directed elsewhere: eligible Youth Conservation Corps entities are instructed to apply through a different funding opportunity, NOFO 15.243, titled BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands. In practical terms, this means applicants should not build a proposal for this grant around staffing models that depend on Public Lands Corps intern/crew hiring, and youth corps organizations looking to run those types of projects should use the separate youth-focused NOFO instead.
The opportunity was created on February 8, 2022, with an original closing date of March 10, 2022. The listed award ceiling is $200,000, indicating the maximum amount BLM anticipated awarding per project or agreement under this announcement. While the record references "Expected Awards," the provided source text does not include a specific number, so the total number of awards is not stated here.
Overall, this NOFO is best read as a targeted BLM partner-funding mechanism for fuels management and community wildfire assistance work in Montana and the Dakotas, designed for government, tribal, nonprofit, housing authority, and educational partners, with clear exclusions for individuals, for-profit entities, and proposals centered on Public Lands Corps intern/crew hiring under this particular grant.Apply for L22AS00202
