Opportunity Summary:

The Coastal Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00037) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS). It supports environmental and natural resource work under CFDA 15.630. The program is authorized under the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956, and its purpose is to fund on-the-ground and preparatory efforts that improve coastal habitats. In practical terms, the funding is intended for habitat assessments, planning activities, and the protection and restoration of coastal habitats. Projects may take place on either public or private lands, which gives the program flexibility to address habitat needs wherever they occur, including areas where conservation outcomes depend on partnerships with private landowners.

This opportunity uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, which typically indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project. That involvement can include technical guidance, coordination, or participation in project implementation and monitoring, depending on the specifics of the award. Eligible applicants are limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. As posted, the opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The listed award ceiling is shown as $0, which usually signals that the amount was not specified in the public listing or that the posting functioned more as an administrative notice than a competitive solicitation with a published maximum.

In terms of timing and status, the opportunity was created and posted on November 20, 2015, and both the original and current closing dates indicate that a recipient has already been selected. That means the funding decision for this specific notice is complete and it is not open for new applications.
