Opportunity Summary:
The Ducks Unlimited, Inc. Texas Mid Coast Wetlands Projects opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00150) is a discretionary grant announced by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to support habitat work on the Texas Mid Coast, specifically within the San Bernard National Wildlife Refuge. It is structured as a single-source award, meaning the agency is not running an open competition and is instead directing the funding to a specific eligible organization. The purpose of the award is to restore, enhance, and establish a total of 1,042 acres of habitat, focusing on freshwater and coastal wetlands, flooded agricultural lands managed for wetland benefits, and the transitional upland areas that connect or buffer those wetland systems. These habitat types are typically targeted because they provide feeding, nesting, and migration stopover areas for waterfowl and other birds, improve overall wildlife habitat conditions, and can contribute to broader ecosystem benefits such as water storage and improved wetland function.
The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is Natural Resources. The opportunity lists an expected number of awards of one, consistent with the single-source format. The total estimated funding is $100,000, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $100,000, indicating the grant amount is fixed rather than a range. No cost sharing or matching requirement is identified, so the recipient would not be required to contribute a specified percentage of non-federal funds as a condition of the award, at least as described in the posting. The CFDA number associated with the program is 15.658, identified as Natural Resource Damage Assessment, Restoration and Implementation, which signals that the project aligns with restoration and implementation work tied to natural resource restoration objectives.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). In practice, this pairs with the title naming Ducks Unlimited, Inc., indicating the intended recipient is the Ducks Unlimited nonprofit organization, which is widely known for wetland conservation and waterfowl habitat work. The posting date and creation date are both April 17, 2013, and the closing date is stated as "This opportunity is being advertised as a single source award," reinforcing that the listing is informational rather than a competitive solicitation with a standard application deadline. The archive date is June 30, 2013, indicating when the notice was slated to be removed from active listings.
