Opportunity Summary:
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00113) is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service focused on environment and natural resources conservation. NFWF was created by Congress in 1984 with a core mission of directing public conservation funds toward the most urgent environmental needs, while also leveraging those federal dollars by matching them with private funding. The underlying idea of the program is to concentrate investments where they are most likely to produce measurable conservation outcomes, rather than spreading resources thinly across too many efforts.
This opportunity emphasizes NFWF's partnership-driven approach. NFWF works with a broad mix of stakeholders including individuals, private foundations, government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and corporations to identify priority conservation challenges and to fund targeted projects designed to achieve clear conservation successes. The program description highlights that the method is intended to be straightforward and effective: bring the right partners together, direct money to well-defined challenges, and use focused investments to deliver tangible results for fish, wildlife, and habitat conservation across the United States.
Funding is provided through a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates ongoing involvement or collaboration by the awarding agency during the project period rather than a simple pass-through grant. The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $98,694. The award ceiling is also $98,694, while the award floor is listed as $100, suggesting proposals could range from relatively small requests up to the maximum available amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement specified for this opportunity, meaning applicants are not required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving an award, even though the broader NFWF model often involves leveraging public funds with private contributions.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have been included in the full announcement text on Grants.gov. The opportunity was posted and created on February 25, 2015, with an original and current closing date of April 26, 2015, and it was archived on April 27, 2015. The applicable CFDA number is 15.663 (National Fish and Wildlife Foundation), which identifies the federal assistance program under which the funding is administered.
For applicants or interested parties who could not access the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Connie Sauer at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (phone: 503-872-2826; email: ConnieSauer@fws.gov).
