Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00341) is a discretionary cooperative agreement announced by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) under the Environment activity category. The notice is framed as a "Notice of Intent to Award," meaning the agency is signaling in advance that it plans to make a single award rather than running a broad, open competition. In this case, the intended recipient is the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF), and the purpose is to support the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Livestock Interdiction Fund.
The program is associated with CFDA 15.657, "Endangered Species Conservation - Recovery Implementation Funds," which generally supports actions that help recover listed species and implement on-the-ground conservation measures. While the listing does not provide technical detail on the Livestock Interdiction Fund itself, the title indicates the award is meant to strengthen efforts that address or prevent harms to wildlife tied to livestock-related issues, consistent with endangered species recovery and broader conservation enforcement or conflict-prevention goals that fall within FWS conservation responsibilities.
Only one award is expected. The funding range indicates an award floor of $40,000 and an award ceiling of $200,000, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing shows "Estimated Total Funding: 0," which typically reflects that a precise total amount may not have been entered into the summary fields at posting time, rather than implying that no funds will be awarded; the ceiling and floor suggest the intended award amount would fall within that band.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). Even though eligibility is described broadly in that way, the notice format and title make clear the planned award is directed to NFWF. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which usually indicates the agency anticipates substantial involvement during the project period (for example, coordination, joint planning, or ongoing collaboration), as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient typically has more autonomous execution.
The opportunity was posted and created on July 26, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 6, 2012, and an archive date of July 26, 2013. For official posting details, the announcement references Grants.gov, and the listed point of contact is John Oakleaf at the Fish and Wildlife Service (phone 505-761-4782; email johnoakleaf@fws.gov) for help accessing the full announcement or resolving access issues.
