Opportunity Information: Apply for F16AS00389
The 2016 FWS - NWR System Friends Program offers funding of $100,000 from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to support National Wildlife Refuge Friends organizations through a competitive grant process, managed by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. The grants aim to strengthen community-based partnerships between these organizations and the National Wildlife Refuge System, providing crucial services like outreach, education, habitat restoration, and fundraising.
The funding opportunities are divided into three main areas:
1. **Nonprofit Capacity Building Grants**: These grants help both emerging and established Refuge Friends organizations enhance their operational and strategic capacity. New organizations can request funds for initial needs such as membership drives and website development, while established groups may seek support for strategic planning and volunteer recruitment.
2. **Project Specific Grants**: These grants are designed for projects initiated and managed by Refuge Friends organizations. Interested applicants must demonstrate their involvement and outline how their projects will increase community engagement and benefit the Friends organization.
3. **Peer-to-Peer Coaching (P2P)**: This component supports organizations wishing to organize training workshops for fellow Friends organizations, fostering collaboration and sharing of best practices.
The RFP is expected to be released in the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, with awards given in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. NFWF will provide funds on a reimbursable basis according to the needs of the grantees.
Evaluation criteria include alignment with program goals, technical feasibility, and budget appropriateness based on federal guidelines. The program is authorized under several key statutes related to wildlife conservation and refuge management.Apply for F16AS00389
