Opportunity Summary:
The Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R14AS00070) is a discretionary Bureau of Reclamation grant program designed to support on-the-ground improvements to fish and wildlife habitat in places where habitat conditions are connected to water systems or water supplies that have been affected by Bureau of Reclamation projects. In practical terms, the program is aimed at helping public entities carry out habitat-related work that addresses impacts or needs associated with federal water infrastructure and operations, with the broader goal of improving ecological conditions for fish and wildlife in and around those affected water resources.
This opportunity was structured as financial assistance that could be awarded either as a grant or as a cooperative agreement, depending on the level of federal involvement anticipated in the work. The funding activity category is Environment and Natural Resources, and the relevant CFDA number is 15.517 (Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act). The agency anticipated making one award, with a total estimated funding amount of $525,000. The announcement set the award ceiling and the award floor at $525,000, indicating it was effectively a single, fixed-size award rather than a range of potential award amounts. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was limited to Native American tribal governments that are federally recognized and Native American tribal organizations (including those other than federally recognized tribal governments). That eligibility framing signals the award was targeted specifically toward tribal applicants capable of planning and implementing habitat improvements tied to Reclamation-influenced water systems. While the high-level purpose statement is broad, projects under this type of authority commonly focus on habitat restoration or enhancement actions such as riparian or wetland improvements, fish passage or in-stream habitat enhancements, stabilization or revegetation of streambanks, or other measures that measurably improve habitat conditions for fish and wildlife in water-related environments affected by federal water development and operations.
Timing information in the record shows the opportunity was posted and created on August 15, 2014, and later archived on September 1, 2014. Both the original and current closing date fields read "Application has been received," which typically indicates the submission window was no longer open by the time the record was captured or that the agency had already received the intended application for this single-award opportunity.
For applicants or interested parties who needed help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Sharon Hamson, Grants Management Specialist at the Bureau of Reclamation, reachable by phone at 509-575-5848 or by email at shamson@usbr.gov. The announcement also referenced Grants.gov as the additional information source for the full posting and related instructions.
