Opportunity Information: Apply for L17AS00183
The BLM Idaho Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) Community Fire Assistance grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L17AS00183) is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning awardees should expect active involvement from BLM in coordinating or supporting the project work rather than a hands-off pass-through of funds. The opportunity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.228. It was originally posted on July 17, 2017, with an original application deadline of September 10, 2017.
The purpose of the program is to help local communities in Idaho reduce the risk and potential consequences of catastrophic wildfire, especially in the wildland-urban interface where homes, infrastructure, and communities meet or intermingle with fire-prone wildlands. Congress created WUI Community Fire Assistance to give BLM the ability to enter into financial assistance agreements with communities so they can take practical steps to prevent, prepare for, and lessen the damage from wildfires. In plain terms, the program is meant to move communities from reacting to fires to reducing hazards ahead of time, improving readiness, and strengthening public awareness.
Projects supported by this opportunity are focused on wildfire protection planning and on-the-ground actions that lower risk. The description highlights hazardous fuels reduction projects, which can include activities aimed at reducing excess vegetation or other fuels that contribute to fast-moving or high-intensity fires. It also emphasizes ongoing maintenance and monitoring, recognizing that fuels work and community protection measures are not one-time efforts and often require follow-up treatment, evaluation, and upkeep to remain effective over time. In addition to physical risk reduction, the opportunity includes mitigation and education activities, reflecting the role of community engagement, defensible space awareness, and local preparedness in reducing wildfire impacts.
A notable secondary objective is enhancing local employment opportunities. That suggests BLM is interested in projects that not only improve wildfire resilience but also create or support jobs locally, such as crews for fuels treatments, monitoring work, or community outreach and education efforts, depending on what the applicant proposes and what is allowable under the cooperative agreement.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that might be included in the full notice. The funding details indicate an award ceiling of $99,000 and an expectation of two awards, signaling a relatively small number of competitively selected projects with modest-to-moderate budgets. Overall, the grant is designed to fund targeted, community-relevant wildfire risk reduction work in Idaho WUI areas through planning, implementation, maintenance, monitoring, mitigation, and education, carried out in collaboration with BLM under a cooperative agreement framework.Apply for L17AS00183
