Opportunity Summary:
The National Coastal Wetland Conservation Grants program (Funding Opportunity Number: CWG 2012) is an annual, discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It supports environmental projects under CFDA 15.614, the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Program. The basic purpose of the program is to help conserve coastal wetland ecosystems by funding on-the-ground efforts that protect, restore, and improve coastal wetlands and the habitats they support, typically through planning, acquisition, restoration, or enhancement activities tied to long-term conservation outcomes.
This opportunity uses a grant as the primary funding instrument and anticipates making around 25 awards in the cycle described. The estimated total funding available is $17,500,000, with an award ceiling of $1,000,000 per grant. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants must provide non-federal funds or eligible in-kind contributions to cover a portion of project costs, consistent with the rules and ratios detailed in the official Request for Applications.
Eligibility is limited to state governments. Specific eligibility conditions, allowable project types, match requirements, application components, and evaluation criteria are provided in the Request for Applications document available at http://www.fws.gov/coastal/CoastalGrants/docs/201220NCWCGRFA.pdf. Prospective applicants should rely on that document for the authoritative requirements, including any definitions of “coastal wetlands,” required project documentation (such as maps, budgets, or engineering/design details), and how proposals are ranked or prioritized.
