Opportunity Summary:
The Kaluanui Fence grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00253) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program (CFDA 15.631). It is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the agency expects to stay actively involved with the recipient during planning and implementation rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The overall purpose ties directly to the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Act (Public Law 109-294), which was created to provide both technical support and financial assistance aimed at restoring, enhancing, and managing habitats on private lands in ways that benefit fish and wildlife.
This opportunity is structured around on-the-ground habitat improvement work, with project selection and priorities guided by the Partners Strategic Plan (2010) and the Pacific Islands Fish and Wildlife Office Strategic Plan (2011). In practical terms, that indicates the project is expected to align with established regional conservation goals and methods, and to produce measurable habitat benefits consistent with those strategic frameworks. While the title focuses on a fence project at Kaluanui, the broader program context is habitat restoration and protection, commonly including actions such as fencing to exclude damaging impacts, reduce habitat degradation, and support recovery of native species and ecosystems.
Funding is set at an estimated total of $200,000, with an award ceiling of $200,000 and no minimum award amount listed (award floor of $0). Only one award is expected, which signals a single project or a tightly defined scope of work rather than multiple smaller grants. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement for applicants, which lowers the financial barrier to participation and can make the program more accessible for eligible entities that may not have dedicated match funds available.
Eligibility for this specific announcement is limited to state governments. The posting date was July 17, 2013, with an official closing deadline of August 17, 2013 (the original and current closing dates are the same). Applicants were directed to consult Grants.gov for the full announcement and submission details, and a point of contact was provided for access issues: Paulette Reyes at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (phone 808-792-9400; email PauletteReyes@fws.gov).
