Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00155
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Alaska Fuels Management and Community Fire Assistance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L22AS00155) is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through BLM. It is designed to support natural resource activities in Alaska that reduce wildfire risk and strengthen community wildfire preparedness, with an emphasis on fuels management work and community fire assistance efforts. Awards are made as cooperative agreements, which generally means BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as coordination, technical input, or joint oversight.
Eligible applicants are limited to public and nonprofit entities and certain educational institutions. Specifically, the opportunity is open to state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments; other tribal organizations; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; and nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education, where that distinction is handled separately). Individuals and for-profit organizations are explicitly not eligible to apply under this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO), so applications from private companies or individual applicants would not be considered.
A key restriction in this NOFO is that it does not support projects that involve hiring interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. The notice makes it clear 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 funding opportunity does not operate under that authority. As a result, youth-focused conservation corps or similar youth employment/internship proposals are directed to a different BLM funding stream: NOFO 15.243, titled BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands. In practical terms, applicants should avoid building proposals around PLC-style intern hiring or corps staffing under this NOFO, and instead focus on deliverables and project structures that fit within standard fuels management and community fire assistance work without relying on that specific authority.
The funding activity category for the opportunity is Natural Resources and the CFDA (assistance listing) number associated with it is 15.228. The posted award ceiling is $150,000, indicating that awards are not expected to exceed that amount per project under this announcement. The original closing date listed for applications was June 15, 2022, and the opportunity record shows a creation date of January 10, 2022. While the listing references "expected awards," the number of anticipated awards is not provided in the supplied data.
Overall, this opportunity is best suited for Alaska-based or Alaska-serving governmental entities, tribes, nonprofits, housing authorities, and eligible higher education institutions that can partner with BLM on wildfire risk reduction and community fire assistance activities. Applicants should plan for a cooperative relationship with BLM during project execution and should ensure their staffing and program design do not depend on Public Lands Corps intern or crew hiring authorities, since that pathway is explicitly excluded from this NOFO.Apply for L22AS00155
