Opportunity Summary:
The Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act Program - Yuma Area (Funding Opportunity Number 11SF34002) was a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered by the Bureau of Reclamation, Lower Colorado Region, through its Yuma Area Office. The purpose of the funding was to support work tied to Reclamation's Endangered Species and Environmental Restoration programs during federal Fiscal Year 2011, covering the period from October 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011. In practical terms, the opportunity was aimed at projects that help conserve, restore, monitor, or otherwise benefit threatened and endangered species (and the habitats they rely on) in the Yuma Area Office's scope of work, consistent with obligations and authorities under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act and Section 7(a)(1) of the Endangered Species Act, which emphasizes proactive conservation actions by federal agencies.
Funding was anticipated to be distributed through one to three awards, and the agency indicated selections would be made based on the highest technical merit among proposals deemed responsive, responsible, and eligible. The total estimated amount available across awards was about $95,000, with individual awards expected to range from a $1,000 floor up to a $40,000 ceiling. The funding instrument types listed included cooperative agreements, grants, and other assistance mechanisms, which signals that some projects could involve more active federal involvement and coordination (typical of cooperative agreements) depending on the nature of the work and oversight needs.
While the posted data field indicated no formal cost-sharing or matching requirement, the narrative made clear that cost sharing or matching of 25 percent or more was desired. That language usually means proposals bringing partner contributions (cash, third-party support, or documented in-kind services) could be viewed more favorably, even if not strictly required for eligibility. Applications were to be reviewed and scored by a technical panel, indicating a merit-based evaluation focused on scientific or programmatic quality, feasibility, and alignment with the program's threatened and endangered species and habitat objectives.
Eligibility was broad and included public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations, city or township governments, state governments, nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) entities), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and individuals. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance listing associated with this program was CFDA 15.517 (Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act), placing it squarely within natural resources-related assistance. The opportunity was posted on December 1, 2010, with an application deadline of January 28, 2011, and it was archived on February 27, 2011. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the contact listed was Gerald Casares, Grants and Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 928-343-8262.
