Opportunity Summary:
The Applegates Milkvetch Cultivation grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number KFFWO ES 1) was a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), issued through the Klamath Falls Fish and Wildlife Office. Its purpose was very specific: to support hands-on cultivation and propagation work for Applegates milkvetch, a federally endangered plant. The overall conservation goal was to increase the number of plants and help establish or bolster populations in secure, protected habitats where they have a better chance of persisting long term. By expanding and stabilizing populations in safe locations, the project was framed as a practical step toward recovery of the species, with the added potential benefit of easing regulatory pressures associated with endangered species protections on both private and public lands.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, meaning FWS expected to be actively involved in the work beyond simply providing funds. The announcement emphasized substantial involvement by the Service, including providing technical assistance and working collaboratively with the selected recipient. In practice, this kind of structure typically reflects a project where agency biologists or staff may help guide propagation methods, site selection considerations, monitoring approaches, or coordination with other conservation partners to maximize the likelihood of successful establishment.
The total estimated funding available for the opportunity was $4,500, with one expected award. No cost sharing or matching funds were required. The notice listed no stated award ceiling or floor (both shown as $0), which generally indicates that the award amount would be determined through the application and selection process up to the amount available rather than being constrained by a predefined range. The funding activity category was Natural Resources, consistent with species recovery and habitat-focused work.
Eligibility was limited to two applicant types: for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The opportunity was posted on July 7, 2009, created on July 8, 2009, and had a closing date of July 17, 2009. It was later archived on August 16, 2009. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Joni Drinkwater, Administrative Officer, reachable by phone at 541-885-2510 or by email at jonidrinkwater@fws.gov.
