Opportunity Summary:
The Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), through its Office of the Director, offered a small discretionary grant opportunity called "Conference Assistance" (Funding Opportunity Number: FWS SRM GLCI 2009). The purpose of the funding was to support partner-requested activities tied to professional engagement in the natural resources and conservation fields, specifically by helping cover costs associated with selected annual conferences and workshops and by paying annual dues to relevant scientific societies and professional or educational organizations. The overall focus aligns with education, environment, and natural resources, reflecting the agency's interest in strengthening training, coordination, and technical exchange among practitioners and stakeholders.
This opportunity was structured as a grant with an expected single award. The total estimated funding amount was $5,000, with an award ceiling of $5,000 and a minimum (floor) of $1. In practical terms, this was a modest, targeted funding action intended to offset discrete conference-related expenses or membership dues rather than support a large program. The CFDA listing associated with the announcement was 15.649, described as "Service Training and Technical Assistance (Generic Training)," which signals that the grant was connected to building capacity and supporting professional development or knowledge-sharing within the service's mission space. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. That restriction suggests the agency anticipated working with a specific type of partner organization such as a professional society, conservation nonprofit, or educational nonprofit involved in natural resource professional development. The announcement also stated that FWS had determined this to be a single-source opportunity under departmental policy and did not anticipate any other applications. In other words, despite being posted publicly, it was effectively intended for one identified partner organization based on an existing relationship or specific request, rather than being a competitive open solicitation.
Key dates indicate a very short application window. The opportunity was posted and created on February 2, 2009, with both the original and current closing date listed as February 9, 2009, and an archive date of March 11, 2009. Anyone needing help accessing the full announcement was directed to contact Colleen Holland, Budget Analyst, at 703-358-2180.
