Cooperative Recovery Initiative, Cuenca Los Ojos Foundation Trust | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Cooperative Recovery Initiative, Cuenca Los Ojos Foundation Trust (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00369) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to support hands-on conservation work that improves the status of federally listed threatened and endangered species. The core purpose of the initiative is to accelerate restoration and recovery efforts on private lands that are connected to, adjacent to, or otherwise associated with National Wildlife Refuges, with an emphasis on projects that deliver clear, measurable benefits to imperiled species where those benefits are likely to be strongest.

This opportunity sits within a broader USFWS strategy called the Cooperative Recovery Initiative, which is described as a cross-program approach that pools expertise and funding from multiple parts of the Service rather than operating as a single-program grant. Specifically, the initiative combines resources from the National Wildlife Refuge System, the Endangered Species program, Partners for Fish and Wildlife, Fisheries, the Office of the Science Advisor, and the Migratory Bird Program. The intent behind this combined structure is to fund on-the-ground projects that are not only technically sound, but also coordinated across habitat, species recovery, and refuge management priorities. In practical terms, that means the funding is aimed at tangible conservation actions such as habitat restoration, targeted management interventions, and other field-based measures that directly support threatened or endangered species occurring on or near refuges.

The funding amount for this particular notice is fixed rather than a range. USFWS anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $120,000. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $120,000, indicating a single, set grant amount for the intended recipient under this announcement. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which can lower barriers for eligible organizations by allowing the project to be carried without a mandatory non-federal match.

Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that hold 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) listing associated with the opportunity is 15.632, identified as Conservation Grants: Private Stewardship for Imperiled Species, and the funding activity category is Natural Resources, with an explanation indicating a focus on conservation natural resources.

Timing-wise, the opportunity was posted on August 5, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 11, 2014. The notice is labeled as a “Notice of Intent to Award Single Source,” which typically signals that the agency intends to make an award to a specific organization rather than conduct a fully open competitive selection, even though it is still presented within the grants.gov framework. The archive date is listed as August 4, 2015, reflecting when the listing was formally archived.

For applicants or interested parties who needed access to the full announcement or had technical difficulty obtaining it, USFWS provided a grants specialist point of contact: Michelle L. Willcox, reachable by phone at 505-248-7486 or by email at michellewillcox@fws.gov. The listing also points readers to grants.gov for additional information via the provided link.
