Opportunity Summary:
The Coordination of the Regional Friends Groups Workshop grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FWS R6 FRIENDSGROUPSWORKSHOP) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Its central purpose is to provide financial assistance to coordinate a Regional Friends Groups Workshop, with a clear emphasis on boosting public outreach across Fish and Wildlife Service stations, particularly those locations that do not have dedicated visitor services staff. In practice, the workshop is intended to strengthen the ability of local and regional Friends Groups to support the Service in connecting the public with wildlife-related recreation and education opportunities on Service-managed lands.
The opportunity is grounded in the Fish and Wildlife Service mission and responsibilities, including providing wildlife-oriented recreational opportunities. Friends Groups are highlighted as key partners because they often help plan, fund, build, or operate recreational facilities and deliver outreach and educational programming that explains what the Service does, what its mission is, and why the managed resources matter. The funding is therefore aimed at coordination work that helps these partner organizations collaborate more effectively, share best practices, and expand outreach capacity where on-the-ground federal staffing for visitor services is limited.
Funding is expected to result in a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $37,000 and an award ceiling of $37,000 (the award floor is listed as $0). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The notice also indicates that additional funding could be available depending on future availability of funds, meaning the initial award amount is set within current funding limits, but the program may be able to add support later if resources allow.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted in the sense that multiple entity types may apply, including federal agencies, state and local government agencies, federally recognized Tribal governments, private nonprofit organizations, and public nonprofit organizations. Beneficiaries are similarly broad, covering those same government and nonprofit categories as well as the general public, reflecting the outreach focus and the public-facing benefits expected from stronger Friends Group engagement and coordination.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on February 24, 2010, with an original and current closing date of March 3, 2010, and an archive date of April 2, 2010. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.649 (Service Training and Technical Assistance, listed as generic training), and the activity category is Environment and Natural Resources. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Melvie Uhland at 303-236-4395 (email was referenced but not provided in the source text you shared).
