Opportunity Summary:
The Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00141) is a discretionary grant/cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.608. It is designed to support work aligned with the Region 1 Fisheries Program, which emphasizes a balanced approach to aquatic resource stewardship. In practical terms, the program focus is on conserving and managing self-sustaining fish populations and the habitats they rely on, while also maintaining or improving the quality of recreational fishing opportunities. The activity areas tied to this opportunity fall broadly under education, environment, natural resources, and science and technology or other research and development, which signals that projects can range from applied conservation actions to research, monitoring, outreach, and technical assistance so long as they advance fisheries conservation and management goals.
The opportunity anticipated making about five awards, with an estimated total program funding level of $200,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a $1,000 floor to a $50,000 ceiling, indicating that both smaller targeted projects and more substantial efforts could be considered depending on need, scope, and partner capacity. No cost sharing or matching was required, which reduces the financial barrier for applicants that may not have access to non-federal matching funds and can be especially important for smaller organizations or local entities seeking to implement fisheries or habitat-related work.
Eligibility was broad and included state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, and independent school districts, as well as federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other Native American tribal organizations. The competition was also open to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education, along with nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). In addition, for-profit organizations other than small businesses were listed as eligible. This wide eligibility suggests the program is structured to encourage partnerships and practical, on-the-ground assistance across many types of organizations that work on fisheries, habitat stewardship, research, and public benefits tied to aquatic resources.
