Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Americas Darling" (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00042) is a discretionary grant announced by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in the categories of education, environment, and natural resources. The stated purpose of the award is to support the production of a one-hour documentary about J.N. "Ding" Darling, a historically significant conservation figure closely associated with the wildlife refuge that bears his name and with broader American conservation history. The posting date and creation date are both January 31, 2012, with an original and current closing date of February 14, 2012, and an archive date of February 15, 2012, indicating this was a time-limited notice tied to a specific planned award rather than an open competition.
This opportunity is not a competitive solicitation and does not have an application process. The notice explicitly states that the agency intended to make a single-source award to the Ding Darling Wildlife Society, justified under Department of the Interior procurement and assistance authority referenced as 505 DM 2.14B(1) and (4). In practical terms, that means the agency had already identified the recipient and the rationale for using a non-competitive, single-recipient approach, so other organizations were not being invited to apply for funding under this announcement.
The funding instrument type is a grant, and the assistance listing is associated with CFDA number 15.649, labeled "Service Training and Technical Assistance (Generic Training)." The expected number of awards is one. The estimated total funding amount is $50,000, with an award ceiling of $50,000 and an award floor of $10,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated, meaning the recipient would not be required to provide a defined percentage or amount of non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," but the accompanying eligibility information clarifies that the intended recipient is the Ding Darling Wildlife Society and that there is no application process. Anyone seeking more detail or having trouble accessing the full announcement through Grants.gov was directed to contact Tracy Mccleaf at the Fish and Wildlife Service (phone 304-876-7781, email tracymccleaf@fws.gov). The announcement also referenced an additional information link hosted on Grants.gov for the full posting.
