Opportunity Summary:
The FY2015 Multistate Conservation Grant Program RFA (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00133) is a competitive discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in cooperation with the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. The program is authorized under the Sport Fish Restoration Act and the Wildlife Restoration Act, as amended by the Wildlife and Sport Fish Programs Improvement Act of 2000. Its core purpose is to support multistate conservation projects, meaning initiatives designed to deliver benefits across state boundaries rather than serving only a single state or a purely local area. The intent is to fund work that helps conserve fish and wildlife resources and improve management outcomes through coordinated, multi-jurisdictional efforts.
Funding for the program is made available through the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program, with up to $6,000,000 available annually in total, split as up to $3,000,000 from the Sport Fish Restoration fund and up to $3,000,000 from the Wildlife Restoration fund. For this FY2015 announcement, the estimated total funding amount is listed as $6,000,000, and the opportunity anticipated making about 15 awards. The listing is associated with CFDA number 15.628 (Multistate Conservation Grant Program). No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated for this opportunity, which generally lowers the barrier to entry for applicants that may not have substantial non-federal funds to contribute.
The announcement follows a two-stage application process. First, applicants submit a Letter of Intent (LOI) to the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, with the LOI deadline listed as May 6, 2014. LOIs are used as an initial screening step; only those selected in this first stage are invited to move forward. Second, invited applicants submit full proposals that are then scored and ranked, with full proposals due by August 22, 2014 (the original and current closing date shown in the notice). The posting date for the opportunity was April 1, 2014, and the opportunity was archived on September 30, 2014.
Eligible applicants include a range of organizations involved in conservation, education, and natural resources work, including state governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status; and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in that specific category). The funding instrument type is a grant, and the funding activity categories emphasize education, environment, and natural resources, reflecting the program focus on conservation outcomes that can be scaled or coordinated across multiple states.
