Opportunity Summary:
The Environmental Stewards Inter Tribal Youth Climate Leadership Congress grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00023) is a discretionary, one-time cooperative agreement issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.676, Youth Engagement, Education, and Employment Programs. The purpose is very specific: to work through the Environmental Stewards program to place a Native American youth participant who will support the planning and hands-on execution of the 2015 Inter Tribal Youth Climate Leadership Congress. The focus is less on funding a broad conservation project and more on building practical capacity in event planning, communications, and organizational skills while supporting a climate leadership convening for tribal youth.
Funding for the opportunity is set at a total of $25,000, with the award floor and ceiling both fixed at $25,000, meaning the agency anticipated making exactly one award at that amount. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically implies the federal agency expects to be substantially involved in the work (for example, coordination, oversight, or collaboration during planning and implementation), rather than simply issuing funds with minimal interaction.
Eligibility is effectively closed to open competition. Although the listing shows “Eligible Applicants: Others,” the announcement explicitly states there is not an application process and that it serves as a notice of intent to make a single-source award to Conservation Legacy, justified under 505 DM 2.14(B1). In other words, the agency already identified the recipient organization and published the notice for transparency rather than to solicit proposals from the general public.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on November 20, 2014, with an original and current closing date of December 5, 2014, and an archive date of December 12, 2014. Because it is a single-source intent notice with no application process, those dates function more as an administrative posting window than a typical competitive deadline.
