Opportunity Summary:
The Migratory Bird Joint Ventures Midwest Region FY 2011 Opportunities grant (Funding Opportunity Number FWS R3 JV10 2) was a discretionary Fish and Wildlife Service funding opportunity intended to support on-the-ground and programmatic conservation work for migratory birds in the Midwest region. It focused on projects aligned with one of two established partnership frameworks: the Upper Mississippi River and Great Lakes Region Joint Venture or the Prairie Pothole Joint Venture. The core idea behind the program was to fund projects that directly advance the conservation objectives already laid out by these Joint Ventures, which are collaborative, science-based initiatives that coordinate habitat, monitoring, and outreach efforts across multiple partners and jurisdictions.
The opportunity invited proposals from individuals and a wide range of institutions that are actively engaged in migratory bird conservation. Eligible project types were broad and included monitoring, research, outreach, and habitat work. In practical terms, that could cover activities like population or habitat monitoring, applied research that informs management decisions, education and outreach to build public support or improve conservation practices, and habitat protection, restoration, or enhancement efforts. A key requirement was that proposals clearly explain how the work would contribute to the relevant Joint Venture plan and measurable conservation priorities rather than operating as a stand-alone effort without connection to regional objectives.
Cost sharing or matching was required, meaning applicants needed to bring non-federal contributions to the table (cash and/or eligible in-kind support, depending on program rules) to help cover project costs. This cost-share expectation emphasized partnership and leveraged funding, which is consistent with how Joint Ventures typically operate: multiple organizations pooling resources to accomplish larger conservation outcomes than any single entity could achieve alone. Proposals therefore needed to describe not only the conservation value of the work, but also the partner contributions and how those contributions would be used to complete the project.
Funding for the program was relatively modest but designed to support multiple awards. The estimated total funding available was $100,000, with an anticipated 10 awards. Individual awards ranged from a floor of $2,000 to a ceiling of $50,000. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the activity category was Natural Resources. The program was listed under CFDA number 15.637 (Migratory Bird Joint Ventures), which is the federal assistance listing associated with this Joint Venture grant line.
Eligibility was intentionally broad to reflect the partnership nature of Joint Ventures. Applicants could include 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), state governments, county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized tribal governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and individuals. This wide eligibility net was meant to encourage participation from governmental, academic, nonprofit, private-sector, and individual conservation practitioners who can deliver tangible results for migratory birds and their habitats.
Key dates for the FY 2011 competition included a posted date of October 4, 2010, with the application closing date set for November 19, 2010 (the original and current closing dates were the same). The opportunity was archived on December 19, 2010. Applicants were directed to additional information through the Upper Mississippi Joint Venture website, and the listed point of contact for access issues or questions was Barbara Pardo, Regional Joint Venture Coordinator, reachable by phone at 612-713-5433.
