Opportunity Summary:
The FY11 Region 5 Wetland Program Development Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: EPA R5 WPDG 2011) is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to help strengthen and improve wetland programs run by government entities. The core purpose is to support projects that build, upgrade, or refine wetland program capacity at the state, tribal, and local levels, consistent with the program goals described in the announcement's Section I (Funding Opportunity Description). In practice, this type of funding is meant to help governments develop the tools, policies, and implementation capacity needed to manage, protect, and restore wetlands more effectively.
Eligibility is limited to government-based applicants. States, Tribes, local government agencies, interstate agencies, and intertribal consortia may apply. Universities can apply only if they are formally part of a state government structure; if so, the application must include documentation showing the institution is chartered as an agency of state government. A key restriction is that nonprofit organizations are not eligible to compete under this request for proposals (RFP), which means nonprofit-led projects would need to be pursued through eligible governmental partners rather than as the direct applicant.
The EPA anticipated making around 10 awards under this opportunity, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,200,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a minimum (floor) of $50,000 to a maximum (ceiling) of $500,000. Applicants should also note that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning recipients must contribute non-federal resources toward the total project cost in accordance with the announcement's requirements.
Administratively, the opportunity falls under the Environment funding activity category and uses the grant funding instrument type. The relevant CFDA number is 66.461 (Regional Wetland Program Development Grants). The posting date was July 7, 2011, and the application closing date was August 12, 2011 (with the announcement advising applicants to review Section IV for detailed submission instructions and any additional due date information). The archive date for the opportunity was September 11, 2011.
For applicants who needed help obtaining or accessing the full announcement, EPA provided a point of contact: Kristen Faulhaber at (312) 353-4378.
