Opportunity Summary:
The "75 North American Wildlife and Natural Resource Conference sponsorship" grant (Funding Opportunity Number FWS 09 DO WMI10) was a discretionary Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) funding opportunity intended to support a specific partner request tied to the 75th North American Wildlife and Natural Resource Conference. The announcement makes clear that FWS classified this as a single-source opportunity under departmental policy, meaning the agency expected to fund one identified organization rather than run a competitive process. As a result, no other applications were anticipated, and the opportunity functioned primarily as a formal mechanism to document and issue the award.
The purpose of the funding fits within the Office of the Director's broader practice of supporting selected annual conferences and workshops and, in some cases, covering annual dues to relevant scientific societies or professional and educational organizations connected to natural resources. In this specific case, the activity aligns with education, environment, and natural resources objectives, consistent with the CFDA listing 15.649 (Service Training and Technical Assistance, generic training). The general intent is to strengthen collaboration, information-sharing, and professional development among wildlife and natural resource professionals by helping partners convene and deliver these kinds of large-scale meetings.
Financially, the total estimated funding was $20,000, with an award ceiling of $20,000 and an award floor of $1. Only one award was expected. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute a specified non-federal match to receive the funds.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). Timing-wise, the posting date and creation date were October 26, 2009, with an original and current closing date of October 28, 2009, followed by an archive date of October 29, 2009. That short window is consistent with single-source announcements where the agency already anticipates a specific recipient and is completing required public notice steps.
For access and administrative assistance, the notice pointed applicants to the CFDA posting for additional information and listed a contact for help obtaining the full announcement: Colleen Holland, Budget Analyst, at the Fish and Wildlife Service.
