Opportunity Summary:
The Midway Verbesina Eradication Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number 9325010077) was a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) through a cooperative agreement. Its purpose was to establish and run a grant program dedicated to removing Verbesina, along with any other invasive plant species the Service identified, from the Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). In practical terms, the award was intended to support organized, on-the-ground invasive plant eradication work and the administration of a grant-making effort focused specifically on the Midway Atoll refuge environment, with the full scope and expectations further detailed in an attached cooperative agreement and a National Fish and Wildlife Foundation proposal referenced in the announcement.
Funding for the opportunity was up to an estimated total of $485,000, with an award ceiling of $485,000 and an award floor of $0, and the agency expected to make one award. The funding instrument type was a cooperative agreement, meaning the FWS anticipated substantial involvement in the project rather than a fully hands-off grant relationship. The activity category was listed under community development, and the CFDA listing associated with the opportunity was 15.663 (National Fish and Wildlife Foundation), reflecting the program alignment noted in the announcement.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which typically lowers the barrier to entry for qualified nonprofits and allows the proposal to be built around the project needs rather than a required match.
The opportunity was posted on April 4, 2011 (created April 1, 2011) and had a very short application window, closing on April 8, 2011. It was later archived on May 8, 2011. For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Jenny Ericson, National Invasive Species Program Coordinator, reachable by phone at 703-358-2063.
