Opportunity Summary:
The Development of San Diego Climate Alliance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00213) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary funding announcement intended to support the continued development of the San Diego Climate Alliance in southern California. The purpose is to match and implement an already existing grant, with the practical goal of strengthening regional collaboration around climate science and ensuring that resource managers have better access to actionable climate information. In other words, the funding is meant to help build and coordinate partnerships that can deliver climate-related data, tools, and science support to the people managing landscapes, habitats, and natural resources in the region.
This award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expects to remain substantively involved during the project period rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The work is aligned with the mission of the Cooperative Landscape Conservation program (CFDA 15.669) and is specifically framed as meeting the needs of the California Landscape Conservation Cooperative by furthering partnerships that connect climate science to on-the-ground decision-making. The emphasis is on collaboration and capacity-building: creating or reinforcing the alliance so that multiple stakeholders can coordinate, share information, and support management actions informed by climate science.
The announcement reflects a single anticipated award with a total estimated funding amount of $40,000, and both the award floor and ceiling are listed at $40,000, indicating the agency planned one fixed-size award rather than a range of possible amounts. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or allowable in-kind contributions) to help meet the project budget requirements.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, the notice makes clear this was not an open, competitive opportunity. It is explicitly a Notice of Intent to make an award to the California Wildlife Foundation, with no competition expected and instructions stating that applicants should not respond. The posting date is May 5, 2015, with an original and current closing date of May 16, 2015, and an archive date of May 30, 2015, indicating it was a time-limited administrative posting tied to a planned direct award rather than a call for proposals.
For reference and administrative details, the opportunity is categorized under Environment, and the grants.gov listing provided an additional information link. The listed point of contact for access issues was Rita Howard (916-278-9443, RitaHoward@fws.gov).
