Opportunity Summary:
The Migratory Bird Joint Ventures Midwest Region FY2008 Opportunities is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), focused on supporting migratory bird conservation work in the Midwest Region through two partnership-based initiatives: the eastern Prairie Pothole Joint Venture and the Upper Mississippi River and Great Lakes Region Joint Venture. The program is designed to fund on-the-ground and supporting conservation efforts that align with the priorities and objectives of one or both of these Joint Ventures, which are collaborative frameworks that bring together federal and state agencies, tribes, nonprofits, universities, and other partners to coordinate bird conservation at landscape scales.
This funding opportunity supports a broad range of eligible conservation activities as long as they clearly advance Joint Venture objectives. Projects may include research that improves understanding of migratory bird populations or habitat needs, monitoring efforts that track population trends or habitat outcomes, evaluation work that assesses conservation effectiveness, outreach that builds partner and public support for migratory bird conservation, and habitat implementation projects that directly restore, enhance, protect, or manage habitat. The key requirement is that proposed work is tied to one or more stated goals of the eastern Prairie Pothole Joint Venture and/or the Upper Mississippi River and Great Lakes Region Joint Venture, rather than being general wildlife work without a clear Joint Venture connection.
The total estimated funding available is $400,000, with an expectation of around 20 awards. Individual awards are anticipated to range from $5,000 (award floor) up to $75,000 (award ceiling). The assistance instrument is a grant, and the activity area is categorized under natural resources. The program is listed under CFDA number 15.637 (Migratory Bird Joint Ventures), which identifies the federal assistance program associated with the funding.
A cost-sharing requirement applies. Applicants must provide non-federal matching contributions at a 1:1 level, meaning applicants are expected to bring at least an equal amount of non-federal support relative to the requested federal funds. This match is commonly met through cash contributions, eligible in-kind contributions, or a combination, as long as they satisfy federal rules and the specific guidance provided for the Joint Venture proposal and cost share process.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is open to a wide range of entity types, subject to any additional clarifications contained in the full announcement and related guidance. In practical terms, this typically allows applications from governmental entities, tribal governments, nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, and other partners who can carry out conservation work and meet federal grant requirements, including match documentation and compliance obligations.
The opportunity was posted and created on October 19, 2007, with an original and current closing date of November 9, 2007. The archive date is December 9, 2007, indicating the announcement was time-limited and is now historical, but the summary reflects how the program was structured for FY2008. Additional procedural details were provided through a link titled "Joint Venture Cost Share Proposal Process," which would typically explain how to format proposals, document match, and demonstrate alignment with Joint Venture objectives.
For applicants needing help accessing the announcement or clarifying details, the point of contact listed is Barbara Pardo, Region 3 Joint Venture Coordinator, reachable by phone at 612-713-5433.
