Opportunity Information: Apply for L20AS00030
The WY Fuels Management and Community Fire Assistance Program (Funding Opportunity Number L20AS00030) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). It is focused on natural resources work that helps local communities in Wyoming reduce the risk, severity, and impacts of wildfires. The program emphasizes practical, on-the-ground wildfire risk reduction paired with community-level planning and education, with the goal of making communities better prepared before a fire starts rather than relying solely on response after an ignition.
This opportunity is issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally means awardees should expect a more hands-on relationship with BLM than with a standard grant. In practice, that typically involves coordination with BLM staff, alignment with BLM priorities and project areas, and ongoing collaboration during planning and implementation. Projects supported under this opportunity are intended to help with fuels management and Community Fire Assistance program activities, particularly those that reduce hazardous fuels and improve local capacity to prevent and mitigate wildfire impacts.
The scope of work centers on three main themes: coordination, hazardous fuels reduction, and public education. Coordination can include bringing together local governments, special districts, and community partners to plan and prioritize actions that reduce wildfire risk, align efforts across boundaries, and ensure communities are ready to act when conditions worsen. Hazardous fuels reduction refers to activities that lessen the amount or arrangement of burnable vegetation in ways that decrease fire intensity and improve defensibility, often around communities and other high-value areas. Education and outreach activities are also a core part of the program, supporting efforts to inform residents and stakeholders about wildfire prevention, home and property mitigation, and community preparedness actions that can meaningfully reduce losses.
Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments, as well as special district governments. The opportunity is also open to nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (excluding institutions of higher education). This eligibility structure signals a focus on governmental and quasi-governmental entities, along with certain nonprofit partners, that can carry out community-facing wildfire mitigation work and coordinate across local jurisdictions.
The opportunity was created on January 7, 2020, with an original closing date of May 30, 2020. The maximum award amount listed is $100,000 (award ceiling), and the BLM anticipated making about five awards under this announcement. The associated CFDA number is 15.228, which corresponds to BLM assistance programs in the natural resources area. Overall, the funding is designed to support a small set of targeted projects that measurably reduce wildfire risk to local communities through planning and partnership, fuels treatment work, and prevention and mitigation education.Apply for L20AS00030
