Opportunity Summary:
The CalTrout Harvey Diversion Fish Passage grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00122) was a discretionary grant published by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Natural Resources funding activity area. The announcement is titled "CalTrout Harvey Diversion Fish Passage" and, based on the title and agency context, it was intended to support a specific fish passage project associated with the Harvey Diversion, with CalTrout (California Trout) identified directly in the opportunity name as the focal organization or project partner. The grant was listed on Grants.gov and tied to CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.658, Natural Resource Damage Assessment, Restoration and Implementation, which generally covers projects aimed at restoring or improving natural resources and addressing impacts to ecosystems through restoration actions. The opportunity anticipated a single award, suggesting a narrowly targeted, project-specific funding action rather than a broad, competitive program with multiple recipients.
Eligibility for this opportunity was limited to nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. This means the applicant pool was restricted to qualifying charitable nonprofits, and the structure implies the agency likely had a specific nonprofit partner in mind that met those requirements. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award. The listing shows Estimated Total Funding, Award Ceiling, and Award Floor all as 0, which commonly indicates that the specific dollar amount was either not entered into the Grants.gov summary record, was to be determined in the full announcement package, or was handled through internal budgeting or a separate statement of work and budget not reflected in the public synopsis.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on March 20, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 30, 2014. The archive date was May 1, 2014, meaning the application window was relatively short (about six weeks) and the listing was formally closed and archived immediately after the deadline passed. The funding instrument type was a grant (as opposed to a cooperative agreement or contract), which typically indicates the recipient would carry out the proposed work with federal funds under standard grant terms and conditions, while still being subject to federal oversight, reporting, and compliance requirements consistent with Fish and Wildlife Service financial assistance awards.
For anyone needing help accessing the full announcement at the time, the notice provided a direct federal contact: Yolanda Dacko, Grants Assistant, reachable by phone at 805-644-1766 ext. 301 or by email at YolandaDacko@fws.gov. The listing also referenced Grants.gov as the central access point for the complete announcement materials and application instructions through the Additional Information link.
