Opportunity Information: Apply for L21AS00519
The Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is offering a discretionary funding opportunity for Arizona-focused fuels management and community fire assistance work. The opportunity is issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically means BLM expects to have substantial involvement during the project (for example, coordination on planning, implementation, reporting, or technical direction). The overall purpose is to support natural resource projects that reduce hazardous fuels, improve wildfire preparedness, and strengthen community resilience to wildfire, generally aligning with BLM fire and fuels priorities and community assistance goals in Arizona.
This funding opportunity is identified as “Department of the Interior - Bureau of Land Management Arizona Fuels Management and Community Fire Assistance Program Activities” with Funding Opportunity Number L21AS00519 and CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.228. The application deadline listed is September 10, 2021, and the maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $5,000,000. The notice does not specify the number of expected awards in the provided data, so applicants would normally need to consult the full NOFO text on Grants.gov (or the agency posting) for details like anticipated award count, typical award size, period of performance, cost-share requirements, and specific project priorities.
Eligibility is broad for public-sector, tribal, education, and nonprofit entities. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city/township governments; special districts; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments; tribal organizations that are not federally recognized tribal governments; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status. The agency explicitly states that individuals and for-profit organizations are not eligible to apply under this NOFO, which is an important gatekeeping rule for anyone considering submission.
The notice also includes a key restriction related to staffing and youth engagement. This NOFO does not support entities hiring interns or crews under this funding. BLM notes that the only legislative authority allowing BLM to “hire” interns is the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993 (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II). Because of that, youth conservation corps or similar youth workforce proposals tied to intern/crew hiring are directed elsewhere: eligible Youth Conservation Corps must apply under a different BLM opportunity, specifically NOFO 15.243, titled “BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands,” rather than under this fuels management and community fire assistance funding.
In practical terms, applicants best suited for this opportunity are government agencies, tribes, housing authorities, higher education institutions, and nonprofits that can design and implement fuels reduction and wildfire resilience projects without structuring the request around hiring intern crews. Strong projects would typically emphasize measurable risk reduction, alignment with BLM and community wildfire priorities, coordination with local and tribal partners, and clear implementation plans and deliverables consistent with a cooperative agreement relationship.Apply for L21AS00519
