Opportunity Information: Apply for L18AS00033
The grant opportunity titled "BLM-AZ Strengthening Partnerships to Restore the Upper Gila River Watershed" (Funding Opportunity Number L18AS00033) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It was released on July 13, 2018, with an original application deadline of August 15, 2018. The program is offered under CFDA 15.237 and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically means the BLM expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as coordinating, providing technical input, or partnering on implementation.
The purpose of the project is centered on watershed restoration and improving overall watershed health within the Upper Gila River Watershed. The targeted area is specifically upstream of the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation dam and the New Mexico border, indicating a focus on headwaters and upper-basin conditions that influence downstream water quality, flow patterns, and ecosystem resilience. The opportunity aligns with the BLM mission to maintain the health, diversity, and productivity of public lands for current and future use, and it frames watershed health in terms of restoring or improving watershed structure and function.
The funding is aimed at work that strengthens partnerships to achieve measurable improvements in watershed conditions. While the notice summary does not list specific project actions, it clearly signals restoration outcomes such as reducing erosion, improving water quality, and potentially increasing water quantity through healthier watershed function. These improvements are also tied to tangible community benefits, including flood attenuation (reducing peak flows and flood impacts), erosion control (protecting soils, infrastructure, and habitat), and improved water quality and quantity (supporting ecological needs, recreation, and local water uses).
In terms of scale, the opportunity anticipates making a single award, with a maximum federal funding ceiling of $400,000. Eligibility is described as "unrestricted," meaning it is open to any type of applicant entity, as long as they meet any conditions that may be further clarified in the full eligibility text of the announcement. Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a partnership-driven watershed restoration effort, focused on a defined portion of the Upper Gila River Watershed, with the BLM looking to collaborate closely with the selected recipient to deliver on-the-ground improvements that provide both ecological and local economic benefits.Apply for L18AS00033
