Opportunity Summary:
The Baird Creek Foundation Habitat Protection Project (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00221) is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service focused on natural resource protection and restoration in Brown County, Wisconsin. The project objective is to protect 12.8 acres of riparian habitat located adjacent to Baird Creek. Riparian areas are the lands along rivers and streams that help stabilize banks, filter pollutants, reduce erosion, support fish and wildlife habitat, and improve overall water quality, so the emphasis here is on safeguarding an ecologically sensitive corridor connected to the creek.
This award is structured as a Natural Resource Damage Assessment, Restoration and Implementation (NERDA) project under CFDA 15.658. In practical terms, that means the work is tied to federal authority used to restore, replace, rehabilitate, and manage natural resources that have been injured by contamination or other impacts, using restoration funds and oversight mechanisms associated with NERDA. The summary provided indicates the grant supports habitat protection and the longer-term ability to restore and manage control of natural resources in the project area, consistent with NERDA restoration goals.
Funding was set at an estimated total of $64,000, with an award ceiling of $64,000 and no minimum award floor specified beyond $0. Only one award was expected. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is unusually narrow because this notice is not a typical open competitive solicitation. The announcement explicitly states it is not an application opportunity; instead, it serves as a notice of intent to make a single-source grant to the Baird Creek Preservation Foundation under the applicable justification referenced (505 DM 2.14B4). While the general eligibility category listed includes certain nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), the key point is that the agency planned a direct award to the named organization rather than inviting proposals from the public.
The notice was posted on June 25, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 25, 2013, and it was archived on July 26, 2013. Additional details were made available through Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact for access or questions was Besty Galbraith at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (920-866-1753, BestyGalbraith@fws.gov).
