DOI National Fire Plan

The Department of the Interior Departmental Offices issues Cooperative Agreements under the DOI National Fire Plan (CFDA 15.158) to support wildland fire coordination and communication among federal, state, and local partners, with the most recent grant award disbursed on June 13, 2017.

This program is not currently active. A single Cooperative Agreement for $100 thousand was awarded to the International Association of Wildland Fire in June 2017 and completed in June 2022. No grant awards have been disbursed in the past nine years, and no recent grant opportunities are open. The most recent solicitation was posted in May 2017 as a notice of sole-source award to IAWF; that opportunity closed on May 12, 2017.

When active, the program funded cooperative agreements focused on enhancing wildland fire safety and improving coordination between incident management teams and local, state, and federal responders. The sole recent award, Cooperative Agreement D17AC00012, supported IAWF's comprehensive strategy for the National Fire Plan to improve wildland fire community operations and safety at the wildland-urban interface. Funding was structured as a five-year cooperative agreement.

All observed funding came from the Department of the Interior Departmental Offices Interior Business Center, which obligated $100 thousand across the one recorded award in the portfolio. The assistance type is exclusively Cooperative Agreement.

Given the nine-year gap since the last award and the absence of posted opportunities, this program does not present a near-term pursuit opportunity. Organizations interested in DOI wildland fire funding should monitor the Interior Business Center and the Office of Wildland Fire for any announcement of reactivation or successor funding vehicles.
