Opportunity Summary:
The "2015 2017 Tualatin Basin Fisheries Enhancement Activities" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R15AS00052) is a Bureau of Reclamation discretionary grant focused on environmental and natural resource work in the Tualatin River Basin. Its purpose is straightforward: support habitat improvement projects that help maintain fish and wildlife resources in the basin. In practical terms, this kind of funding typically targets on-the-ground actions that improve aquatic and riparian habitat conditions, which can help sustain fish populations and the broader ecosystem that depends on healthy river and stream corridors.
This opportunity was structured as a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $57,566. The award ceiling and floor were both set at $57,566, which means the agency anticipated making one grant at that exact amount rather than offering a range of possible award sizes. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the activity category was listed under Environment and Natural Resources. No cost sharing or matching was required, so applicants were not obligated to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was limited to a specific applicant type: nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (other than institutions of higher education). That wording indicates the competition was not broadly open to all nonprofits, local governments, or universities in the usual way; it was aimed at a narrower set of nonprofit entities that fit the stated category. The listing is associated with CFDA number 15.517 under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, which generally covers activities that support fish and wildlife conservation considerations alongside water-resource projects and management.
The notice was posted and created on July 8, 2015, and then archived on July 23, 2015. The closing date fields were marked "Not Applicable," which often appears when an announcement is intended for a specific recipient or is handled outside a standard open-competition timeline, or when the formal application window is not expressed through the usual closing-date mechanism on the listing page. For anyone needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Sharon Hamson, Grants Management Specialist at the Bureau of Reclamation, reachable at 509-575-5848 or by email at shamson@usbr.gov. An additional information link was also referenced as being available through the grants website.
