Kentucky Natural Lands Trust | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Kentucky Natural Lands Trust grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00206) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service notice of intent to make a single-source award, meaning it is not a competitive funding opportunity and there is no full program announcement or open application process tied to it. The Service states directly that this is not a request for applications, and that the decision not to compete the award is based on Departmental policy (505 DM 2.14, B.(2)) and is within the agency's discretion. In practical terms, this posting functions mainly as a public transparency notice that the agency plans to fund one specific organization for a defined conservation purpose, rather than as an invitation for other applicants to apply.

The intended recipient is Kentucky Natural Lands Trust, Inc., and the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement typically indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project, such as participating in planning, providing technical input, coordinating with partners, or helping guide implementation and reporting. The primary purpose of the planned agreement is to benefit federally listed and at-risk species, with an emphasis that includes numerous federally listed fish and mussel species. While the notice does not provide project-by-project details, the framing suggests conservation actions that could include habitat protection, restoration, and related activities consistent with the Fish and Wildlife Service mission and the broader goals of species recovery and risk reduction.

Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and falls under the funding activity area of Environment, Natural Resources, and Science and Technology and other Research and Development. It is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 15.631, Partners for Fish and Wildlife, which is a program area commonly aligned with on-the-ground conservation efforts carried out in cooperation with non-federal partners. The posting indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required by this notice to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award, although cooperative conservation projects sometimes still leverage partner contributions even when not required.

The notice lists an expected number of awards of one, consistent with the single-source intent. It provides an estimated total funding amount of $15,133,208, but lists both the award ceiling and award floor as $0, which generally indicates that the posting is not using those fields to describe a competitive range and should not be interpreted as setting minimums or maximums for applicants. Key dates included are a posted date of April 30, 2015, with an original and current closing date of May 8, 2015, and an archive date of May 9, 2015. Because it is not an application-based opportunity, the closing date is best understood as the end of the public notice period on Grants.gov rather than a deadline for proposal submission.

For reference or administrative follow-up, the notice points users to Grants.gov for additional information and provides a contact: Kerri Heywood, Grant Management Specialist, at 404-679-4066 and kerriheywood@fws.gov. This contact is specifically framed for help accessing the announcement electronically, which aligns with the fact that there is no full competitive announcement and the posting is primarily a notice of intent to award to a single identified recipient.
