Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "50th Wilderness Anniversary Planning and Implementation" (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00329) was a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.654 (Visitor Facility Enhancements: Refuges and Wildlife). It was designed to support a single awardee in helping plan and carry out programs tied to the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act. The underlying purpose was not simply to hold anniversary events, but to use the anniversary as a platform to strengthen wilderness stewardship across the agency and among partners, while also raising public understanding of what wilderness is and why it matters.
The agreement focused on collaborative work with key partners, specifically SWS and Wilderness50, along with additional partners as appropriate. Through that partnership structure, the funded work was expected to facilitate a mix of programs, activities, products, and events connected to the anniversary. The emphasis was on tangible stewardship outcomes: improving internal agency awareness and competence around wilderness stewardship, increasing public awareness of wilderness values and stewardship needs, building long-term capacity to manage wilderness well, broadening institutional knowledge, and advancing education and training so that high-quality wilderness stewardship would continue beyond the anniversary period. The announcement set a clear performance horizon, with work intended to support these goals through December 31, 2015.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity was relatively small and tightly defined: the estimated total funding was $26,000, and both the award floor and ceiling were set at $26,000, indicating a single, fixed-size award rather than a range of possible award amounts. Only one award was expected. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was limited to for-profit organizations other than small businesses, which is a notable constraint compared to many federal opportunities that prioritize nonprofits, universities, or governmental entities. The posting and turnaround time were brief. The opportunity was posted on August 22, 2013, and closed on August 28, 2013, with the archive date listed as September 30, 2013. Applicants were directed to Grants.gov for full announcement details. For assistance accessing the announcement, the listed contact was Nancy Roeper at the Fish and Wildlife Service (703-358-2389, NancyRoeper@fws.gov).
