Opportunity Summary:
The "Endangered Species Conservation, Recovery Implementation Funds" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00309) is a discretionary grant program administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) under CFDA 15.657. The funding is rooted in the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and subsequent amendments passed in 1978 and 1982, which together provide the legal framework for conserving endangered and threatened species and implementing on-the-ground recovery actions. In practical terms, this type of funding is meant to support applied conservation work that directly advances species recovery goals under the ESA, such as recovery implementation activities, conservation measures, and related efforts aligned with federal recovery priorities.
This particular notice is not a general open competition. It is explicitly a Notice of Intent to make a single-source award to The Peregrine Fund, meaning FWS signaled its plan to fund one identified organization without a standard competitive process. The listing indicates one expected award with a maximum (ceiling) amount of $150,000. The opportunity was created on June 24, 2016, with an original closing date of July 1, 2016, reflecting a short administrative window typical of announcements that are primarily informational (for transparency and public notice) rather than an invitation for broad proposal submissions.
The activity category is Natural Resources, and the funding instrument is a grant. Eligibility in the record is described as "Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education." However, because this is a single-source intent naming The Peregrine Fund as the recipient, the eligibility field is less about encouraging applications and more a standardized data element in the posting. The key takeaway is that the agency intended to direct ESA recovery implementation funds to a specific nonprofit partner to carry out targeted endangered species conservation or recovery work consistent with ESA authorities and the purposes of the listed amendments.
