Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00307
The Bureau of Land Management California Fuels Management and Community Fire Assistance grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L22AS00307) is a discretionary funding program run by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management. It is designed to support wildland fire risk reduction and community wildfire assistance efforts in California through projects that follow a risk-based approach. In practical terms, the program is meant to direct resources toward the places and activities where they can most effectively reduce wildfire impacts, improve safety, and strengthen long-term resilience.
The opportunity is framed around the National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy, which organizes wildfire work into three broad, connected goals. First, it emphasizes restoring and maintaining fire-resilient landscapes, meaning vegetation and fuels management work that helps landscapes better withstand wildfire and recover more effectively. Second, it supports the development of fire-adapted communities, which generally involves helping communities reduce exposure and vulnerability to wildfire through preparedness, mitigation, planning, and targeted treatments that reduce risk near people, infrastructure, and key community assets. Third, it aligns with effective wildfire response, which can include actions that improve readiness and reduce the likelihood that fires become unmanageable, while complementing suppression capability by reducing fuels in strategic locations. Overall, the program is intended to help reduce hazardous fuels and wildfire risk while improving resilience across landscapes and communities.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during the life of the project (for example, coordination, technical input, shared planning, or joint implementation). The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the program is associated with CFDA number 15.228. The listing anticipates a single award, with an award ceiling of up to $5,000,000, indicating the program may support one large, comprehensive effort rather than multiple smaller awards under this particular announcement.
Eligible applicants include county governments, city or township governments, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. That eligibility profile suggests the opportunity is aimed at larger local governmental entities and established organizations that can manage significant project scopes, coordinate across partners, and carry out on-the-ground fuels and community assistance work at scale.
Key dates for this announcement show it was created on April 6, 2022, with an original closing date of May 6, 2022. While those dates indicate the application window for this specific posting has passed, the summary reflects what the opportunity funded and how it was structured: a risk-based California-focused cooperative agreement supporting fuels management and community fire assistance, aligned with national wildfire resilience goals and potentially funding a large, high-impact project up to $5 million.Apply for L22AS00307
