Opportunity Summary:
The Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act Program (Funding Opportunity No. 09 SF 34 0002) was a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Lower Colorado Region, specifically through its Yuma Area Office. The purpose of the solicitation was to support projects and on-the-ground activities tied to the office's Endangered Species and Environmental Restoration programs for Federal Fiscal Year 2009. In practical terms, applicants were expected to propose work that helps threatened and endangered species and/or their habitats, consistent with the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act and Section 7(a)(1) of the Endangered Species Act, which encourages federal agencies to use their authorities to further the conservation of listed species.
Reclamation anticipated making about two awards under this announcement, and the assistance could take the form of a grant, a cooperative agreement, or another eligible assistance instrument type. Selections were to be made on technical merit, with proposals reviewed, evaluated, and rated by a technical panel. The program emphasized funding proposals that were both responsible and responsive to the stated needs of the Yuma Area Office, meaning applicants needed to demonstrate competence, feasibility, and a clear connection to endangered species conservation or environmental restoration priorities in the Lower Colorado context.
The total estimated funding available was listed as $50,000, with an award floor of $1 and an award ceiling of $40,000. While cost sharing or matching was not required, it was strongly encouraged; the announcement noted that a contribution of 25 percent or more was highly desired. This effectively signaled that proposals bringing partner resources, leveraged funding, in-kind services, or other non-federal contributions could be more competitive, even though they were not strictly mandatory.
Eligibility was broad and included many organization types and even individuals. Eligible applicants included nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3), excluding institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, county governments, city or township governments, state governments, small businesses, other for-profit organizations that were not small businesses, federally recognized tribal governments, other tribal organizations, and individuals. The activity category was Natural Resources, and the CFDA number associated with the opportunity was 15.517 (Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act).
Timing-wise, the opportunity was posted and created on April 23, 2009, with an application deadline of May 29, 2009. The archive date was June 28, 2009, indicating the opportunity is no longer active. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically at the time, the point of contact was Gerald Casares, Grants and Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 928-343-8262.
