Opportunity Summary:
The California Landscape Conservation Cooperative (CA LCC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00223) was offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as a discretionary funding program supporting natural resources work through a cooperative agreement. The purpose of the CA LCC is to function as a management-science partnership that brings together science and on-the-ground natural resource management to better inform conservation decisions. Its core emphasis is helping partners address the impacts of climate change and other environmental stressors, with a focus on efforts that work within and across ecosystems rather than in isolation. In practical terms, the opportunity was aimed at strengthening integrated science, coordination, and conservation planning approaches that can be applied at landscape scales in California.
The opportunity anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. The award ceiling was also $100,000, meaning the single selected project could receive up to the full amount available, while the award floor was listed as $0, indicating no minimum award size was guaranteed. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which typically lowers barriers for applicants who may not have significant non-federal resources to contribute.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education from that particular category. The listing associated the opportunity with CFDA number 15.608 (Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance), aligning it with federal assistance intended to support fish and wildlife management and related conservation activities.
Key administrative dates show this was a short-turnaround announcement: it was posted and created on June 18, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 22, 2012, and it was archived on June 23, 2012.
