Opportunity Summary:
The Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00178) is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) under CFDA 15.608, focused on environment and natural resources work. The specific project described in this announcement is "Farallon NWR Ecosystem Monitoring Refuge Stewardship," indicating that the funding is intended to support ecosystem monitoring and on-the-ground stewardship activities connected to the Farallon National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). In practical terms, this type of opportunity typically centers on collecting and tracking ecological data, assessing habitat and wildlife conditions over time, and helping the refuge meet its conservation and management responsibilities through structured monitoring and stewardship support.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which usually means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. That involvement can include collaborating on the work plan, providing technical direction, coordinating monitoring priorities, and ensuring the project aligns closely with refuge management needs and federal conservation objectives. The announcement anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $173,855 and an award ceiling of $173,855, meaning the project funding was effectively capped at that amount. The award floor is listed as $0, which generally reflects administrative listing practices rather than suggesting a realistic zero-dollar award.
Eligibility for this opportunity is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The listing also states that cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants would need to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or allowable in-kind support, depending on the specific program rules) as part of the overall project budget. Applicants would typically need to demonstrate both the technical capacity to carry out ecological monitoring or stewardship activities and the ability to meet the match requirement through documented commitments.
Key administrative dates show this was a very short-window posting in 2014. The opportunity was posted on May 7, 2014, created in the system on May 13, 2014, and originally closed on May 13, 2014, with a current closing date of May 14, 2014. The listing was archived on August 13, 2014. Those dates suggest the announcement may have been aimed at a narrow applicant pool or a time-sensitive project need tied to refuge operations.
