Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a Notice of Intent to Award (NOI) issued by the Bureau of Reclamation, Denver Office, for a continuation award under an existing cooperative agreement with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF). It is not an open, competitive solicitation. Instead, it signals the agency's plan to continue funding a previously awarded project or program under the same overall agreement structure, with ongoing collaboration between the government and the recipient as is typical for a cooperative agreement.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number R12AC80918A and is titled "Notice of Intent to Award - Continuation for National Fish and Wildlife Foundation." It falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is tied to CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 15.546, the Youth Conservation Program. The announcement indicates that the project requires cost sharing or matching, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind support consistent with the terms of the underlying agreement. The estimated total funding available is $500,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor are listed in a way that effectively points to a single planned award of up to $500,000, with an expected number of awards equal to 1.
Eligibility is restricted. Although the Eligible Applicants field uses the general label "Others," the eligibility information clarifies that this is a continuation of a previously awarded agreement and is specific to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. In practical terms, that means other organizations should not expect to be considered for this funding, because the agency is continuing an existing relationship and scope of work rather than seeking new applicants or new proposals.
The notice was posted and created on September 5, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 18, 2013, and an archive date of September 19, 2013. These dates are best understood as administrative milestones for the continuation action rather than a typical open application window. For assistance accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Michelle Maher, Grants Officer, at 303-445-2025.
