Opportunity Summary:
The Collaborative Conservation Report grant (Funding Opportunity Number 9321010071) is a discretionary grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.649 (Service Training and Technical Assistance). It was posted on September 12, 2011, with an application window closing on September 16, 2011, and later archived on October 16, 2011. The opportunity offered a single expected award with fixed funding of $35,000, with both the award ceiling and floor set at $35,000, and it did not require any cost sharing or matching funds. The funding activity category is listed as Community Development, reflecting its focus on building collaboration capacity and improving cooperative conservation outcomes at a landscape scale.
This opportunity is essentially designed to support the creation of a practical, field-informed report on how National Wildlife Refuges can successfully work with surrounding landowners and partners beyond refuge boundaries. The core deliverable is a report that documents successful landscape-level collaborations involving refuges and then translates those examples into recommendations aimed at strengthening skills, tools, and organizational capacity for landscape-scale collaboration across the entire National Wildlife Refuge System. In other words, the grant is not for on-the-ground habitat work itself, but for capturing proven approaches, identifying what makes them work, and turning that knowledge into guidance that refuge staff and partners can apply in other places.
A defining feature of this announcement is that it identifies the National Wildlife Refuge Association (NWRA) as uniquely qualified to carry out the work. The rationale given is that NWRA has a concentrated staff expertise specifically focused on methods refuges can use to collaborate with neighboring landowners, and it has already studied and tested these approaches. The announcement also emphasizes NWRA's extensive network connections through Friends groups, state and federal agencies, academics, and other conservation nonprofits, positioning NWRA as able to quickly gather information from a broad range of refuge stakeholders. In addition, NWRA is described as having strong communication channels, including both web-based and print systems, that can be used to collect input and examples from Refuge System staff, Friends organizations, and refuge supporters and then share the findings in a usable format.
Eligibility for the opportunity is narrowly defined, listing eligible applicants as nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education. The announcement reads like a targeted or sole-source style award where NWRA is the intended recipient due to its specialized expertise and existing infrastructure for convening partners and disseminating lessons learned. For questions or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact is Larry Williams, Chief of Budget, Performance, and Workforce, at 703-358-2170.
