Opportunity Summary:
The Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act (NMBCA) grants program is a yearly, competitive federal funding opportunity created to support on-the-ground conservation projects that benefit Neotropical migratory birds and the habitats they rely on throughout their full range. The program is designed to fund work across the United States, Canada, Latin America, and the Caribbean, recognizing that many migratory bird populations depend on connected habitats across multiple countries and seasons. Projects funded under this program generally focus on conserving, restoring, and managing habitat, as well as related conservation actions that measurably improve outcomes for migratory birds.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), through its Division of Bird Habitat Conservation (DBHC), manages and administers the program, including receiving proposals and overseeing awards. Proposals are submitted through Grants.gov during a single funding cycle each year, and final selections are made by the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Applicants are expected to follow the official program guidance and application instructions made available on the NMBCA website, including detailed materials on how to apply, program guidelines, and additional instruction documents (with some resources also available in Spanish).
This specific opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00413) is a discretionary grant program under CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) 15.635, titled "Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation." For the cycle described in the notice, the program anticipated making roughly 40 awards, supported by an estimated total of $4,000,000 in available funding. Individual award sizes were expected to range from a floor of $10,000 up to a ceiling of $200,000, depending on project scope and competitiveness.
A key feature of the NMBCA program is that it requires cost sharing or matching, meaning applicants must bring non-federal resources to the table as part of the overall project budget. Eligibility is described as "unrestricted," which in practice means it is open to a wide range of entity types (for example, nonprofits, governments, academic institutions, and others), subject to any specific eligibility clarifications included in the full announcement and program guidance.
The posting and deadline details provided for this cycle indicate the opportunity was posted on September 10, 2014, with a closing date of November 20, 2014. Applicants who cannot access the full announcement electronically are directed to contact the program coordinator, Guy Foulks, at 703-358-1944 for assistance.
