Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Management of WAFWA Summer and AFWA Annual Conference" (Funding Opportunity Number L10AS00282) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to support the planning and management of two major wildlife-related meetings: the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (WAFWA) Summer meeting and the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (AFWA) Annual Conference. The central purpose of the award is to strengthen wildlife management and conservation efforts across North America by supporting coordination work that directly aligns with, and helps advance, the conservation missions of state wildlife agencies. In practical terms, the project is meant to help ensure these conferences are effectively organized and administered so that agencies and partners can collaborate on policy, management priorities, science, and conservation strategies.
This opportunity falls under the Environment activity category and is listed under CFDA 15.231, Fish, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Resource Management. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means BLM expects to have an active role in the project beyond simply providing funds. That can include ongoing coordination, substantial involvement in project oversight, and collaboration on deliverables related to the event management and outcomes.
Funding is relatively modest, with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000 and an expected number of awards of 1. Individual award amounts were set with a ceiling of $10,000 and a floor of $3,000, indicating the agency anticipated funding specific components or tasks within the broader conference-management effort, or potentially supporting multiple expenses under an umbrella project depending on scope and final budget. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would not be required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. That eligibility restriction suggests BLM intended to partner with a mission-aligned nonprofit capable of handling logistical coordination, convening support, and administrative functions connected to the WAFWA and AFWA meetings, while also supporting conservation outcomes that are relevant to state and federal wildlife partners.
The timeline for the opportunity was short. It was posted and created on August 16, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 23, 2010. The opportunity was later archived on September 22, 2010. Applicants seeking further details at the time were directed to Grants.gov for the full announcement and instructions.
For questions or help accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Lisa Clayton, Grants Management Officer at BLM, reachable by phone at 202-912-7098 or by email at lisaclayton@blm.gov.
