Opportunity Summary:
The Friends Group Initiative was a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) focused on strengthening "Friends Groups" connected to the National Fish Hatchery System. Grounded in Public Law 109-360, the National Fish Hatchery System Volunteer Act of 2006, the purpose of this award was to provide assistance for organizing a national meeting of selected Friends Groups and to help these groups build the basic organizational structure needed to operate effectively, specifically by supporting efforts to obtain nonprofit status and complete incorporation. In practical terms, the grant was designed to move volunteer and community support groups toward more formal, sustainable operations so they could better support hatchery education, outreach, and related mission activities over time.
The opportunity was structured as a grant within the environment and natural resources funding activity category, with an expected single award. The agreement was described as a five-year arrangement, although continuation or additional funding beyond initial amounts was explicitly dependent on the availability of federal funds in future years. The funding figures listed for the announcement included an estimated total funding amount of $15,000, an award floor of $15,000, and an award ceiling of $100,000, indicating that while the initial level referenced was modest, there was potential for higher funding up to the ceiling depending on the terms of the agreement and future appropriations.
Eligibility for this particular announcement was not open competition. The notice indicates the opportunity was being awarded directly to the Booth Society, Inc. under Public Law 109-360, Section 6, identified as Hatchery Education Program Development. That means the grant functioned essentially as a targeted or directed award rather than a broadly available solicitation for multiple applicants. The CFDA number was listed as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), a designation sometimes used when an assistance action does not align neatly with a standard CFDA program listing.
Key administrative details show the opportunity was posted on February 12, 2008, with an original and current closing date of February 19, 2008, and an archive date of March 20, 2008. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient was not required to contribute a set percentage of non-federal funds to receive the award. For access or questions, the announcement provided a point of contact: Vicki Tilden at 303-236-4519. An additional information link referenced a website for DC Booth, which aligns with the named recipient organization.
