Opportunity Summary:
The California Condor Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00022) is a discretionary grant administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS) under CFDA 15.608, which covers environmental and wildlife conservation-related work. The purpose of the program is to support hands-on conservation actions tied to the captive breeding, release, and ongoing management of California condors, a species that relies heavily on intensive human-led recovery efforts such as controlled breeding, specialized rearing facilities, and coordinated release strategies.
In this specific notice, the agency is not seeking applications or running an open competition. It is a Notice of Intent to make a single-source award to The Peregrine Fund, and it explicitly states that no competition is expected and that the public should not respond. The project focus called out in the notice is renovation of the California condor captive rearing pen in Boise, Idaho. In practice, that means the funding is aimed at improving or upgrading an existing captive-rearing facility that supports condor propagation and preparation for release, rather than funding a broad range of new proposals.
The expected award amount is capped at $60,000 (the award ceiling), and the agency anticipates making one award total. Although the general eligibility category listed for the opportunity is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the single-source nature of this notice makes it functionally limited to the named organization for this particular action. The opportunity was created and posted on November 4, 2015, and both the original and current closing date fields reiterate the same point: this is informational only, and it is not open for competitive submission.
