Opportunity Summary:

The Albuquerque Urban Refuge Partnership grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00348) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.649 (Service Training and Technical Assistance). Its purpose is to establish an Urban Refuge Partnership in the Albuquerque metropolitan area that works alongside local conservation organizations to strengthen the capacity of the newly established Valle de Oro National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). A central focus of the project is connecting urban audiences, including communities that may not traditionally engage with refuges, to conservation opportunities and to the broader mission and work of the National Wildlife Refuge System.

The program is structured as a single expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $40,000 and an award ceiling of $40,000 (no stated minimum award amount). The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is Natural Resources. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can make it more accessible for eligible community-based organizations that may have limited ability to provide non-federal match.

Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). In practical terms, this means the applicant should be a qualified nonprofit capable of partnering effectively with the refuge and other local conservation groups, organizing collaborative efforts, and delivering outreach or capacity-building work that supports Valle de Oro NWR and expands public engagement with conservation in an urban setting.

Key dates for this opportunity reflect a short application window: it was posted and created on August 30, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 6, 2013. Organizations interested in applying would be expected to move quickly to prepare proposal materials consistent with the federal notice and Grants.gov submission requirements.
