Opportunity Information: Apply for L18AS00083
The BLM Idaho Wildland Urban Interface Community Fire Assistance grant (Funding Opportunity Number L18AS00083) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management. It is designed to support local efforts in Idaho that reduce the risk, damage, and long-term impacts of catastrophic wildfires where communities meet or border undeveloped wildland vegetation, commonly known as the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI). The program authority comes from the Department of the Interior and Related Agencies Act, which allows BLM to enter into financial assistance agreements with communities to help them prepare for and mitigate wildfire threats.
This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the BLM typically expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as coordination, technical input, or joint planning, rather than simply providing funds with minimal interaction. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the listing is associated with CFDA 15.228. The overall intent is to back practical, on-the-ground risk reduction as well as community-facing work that improves preparedness and resilience. In plain terms, the grant is meant to help communities plan and carry out hazardous fuels reduction projects in WUI areas and to fund education and outreach that supports fire-adapted communities and more resilient landscapes.
The grant is open to a broad range of eligible applicants, including state, county, and city or township governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; and nonprofit organizations, including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits (as long as they are not institutions of higher education). The goal is to enable partnerships that can effectively deliver planning, implementation, and public engagement work that lowers wildfire risk and improves community outcomes before, during, and after fire events.
In terms of funding scale, the award ceiling is $100,000, and the BLM anticipated making one award under this specific announcement. The opportunity was posted on July 26, 2018, with an original application closing date of August 26, 2018. While the notice frames the program in broad national-policy language about protecting families, supporting jobs, and building a conservation stewardship legacy, the practical focus is straightforward: helping WUI communities reduce hazardous fuels, strengthen local capacity, and expand education and outreach so residents, local organizations, and governments are better equipped to live with wildfire risk and limit the likelihood of severe, destructive fire impacts.Apply for L18AS00083
