Opportunity Summary:
The International Migratory Bird Day grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FWSR9 DMBM 9723) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary grant tied to CFDA 15.655, Migratory Bird Monitoring, Assessment and Conservation. It was posted on May 25, 2011, with an original and final closing date of May 30, 2011, and later archived on June 29, 2011. The total funding amount for this action is set at $250,000, with both the award floor and award ceiling fixed at $250,000, meaning the agency anticipated making one single award for the full amount. No cost sharing or matching funds are required.
This notice is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award to a single source and is not a competitive funding announcement. There is no full program announcement associated with it, and it is not a request for proposals. The Service states it intends to enter into a grant agreement with Environment for the Americas under the authority of the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956, as amended (16 USC 742a through 742j), using the program authority referenced as 15.655. While the eligibility field lists 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (other than institutions of higher education), the practical reality of this specific posting is that it is designed for a single, named recipient rather than an open competition.
The purpose of the funding is public education and outreach focused on migratory birds and the habitats they depend on. The Service’s stated intent is to provide financial assistance to increase public awareness of the value of migratory birds and their habitats, emphasizing multiple dimensions of importance: intrinsic value, ecological significance, recreational benefits (such as birdwatching and related outdoor activities), and economic significance (such as tourism and community-based nature economies). The overarching goal of International Migratory Bird Day is to raise awareness and concern and to encourage real conservation action that benefits migratory birds and the places they use during breeding, migration, and wintering periods.
The notice also highlights the shared mission between the Fish and Wildlife Service and the recipient organization. Both parties have a common interest in educating the public about why migratory birds matter and in motivating people to get involved in conservation. In practice, this kind of support typically aligns with activities such as coordinating International Migratory Bird Day events, developing educational materials and campaigns, supporting community outreach, and building partnerships that help translate awareness into on-the-ground conservation behaviors and support for habitat protection.
For questions or issues accessing materials, the point of contact listed is Alicia King, National Outreach Coordinator, reachable by phone at 703-358-2522.
