Opportunity Summary:
This grant listing is a Notice of Intent to Award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) for a cooperative agreement that the agency plans to issue specifically to Wolftree, Inc., a nonprofit organization. It is not an open, competitive funding opportunity. The announcement explicitly states that no competition is expected and instructs the public not to apply. The intent to award is issued under the Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 DM 2.14(4), with additional justification referenced in the full announcement materials. Because it is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, the Service expects to have substantial involvement in the work, consistent with the federal assistance guidance referenced as 505 DM 2.9 B.
The main purpose of the agreement is to advance the Department of the Interior's Youth and the Great Outdoors initiative and the Fish and Wildlife Service priority known as Connecting People With Nature. In practical terms, the funding is meant to support environmental education that gets young people outside, builds hands-on understanding of natural systems, and strengthens the pathway from learning to conservation-related careers. The project focuses on improving scientific and geographic literacy among youth in the Pacific Northwest while also creating opportunities to educate, engage, and help train young adults who show interest and aptitude for work in natural resource conservation roles.
The specific objective is to provide both funding and technical assistance to Wolftree to maintain and expand two connected efforts: its Watershed Science Education Program (WSEP) and related Project Based Learning activities. The geographic scope named in the notice includes Oregon and Southwest Washington. The emphasis on watershed science suggests programming that teaches how water moves through landscapes, how land use affects water quality and habitat, and how to collect and interpret field data. The project-based learning component signals that participants are expected to learn by doing, likely through real-world investigations or stewardship projects that connect classroom concepts to local environmental conditions.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement instrument under an environment activity category. The Funding Opportunity Number is FWS-R1-BJ100, and the CFDA program number listed is 15.649, Service Training and Technical Assistance (Generic Training). The announcement anticipates a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $20,000, and the award ceiling is also $20,000 (with an award floor of $0). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. While the general eligibility field mentions 501(c)(3) nonprofits other than institutions of higher education, the notice makes clear that the intended recipient is Wolftree and that outside applications are not being solicited.
Key dates in the posting show it was posted and created on May 5, 2011, with a closing date of June 3, 2011, and an archive date of July 3, 2011. For access issues related to the full announcement, the contact provided is Sean Connolly, Project Manager, at (503) 231-2353.
