Opportunity Summary:
The Nuwuvi Group grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FWS R8 DNWRC FY2011 001) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary funding notice tied to environmental and natural resource work under CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. It is presented as a Notice of Intent to award, meaning the agency is indicating its intent to make an award rather than running a broad competitive solicitation. The effort focuses on a cooperative partnership between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and seven Nuwuvi nations (Southern Paiute and Chemehuevi) to carry out participatory interpretive planning connected to three protected areas within the Desert National Wildlife Refuge Complex (DNWRC).
The central purpose of the project is to support collaborative, community-driven planning for interpretive materials and visitor-facing content. Rather than having interpretation designed solely by the agency, the project is structured to ensure the Nuwuvi nations play a direct role in shaping what stories are told, how they are presented, and how cultural perspectives and priorities are reflected in public education. The planned work centers on the development of interpretive products intended for three new visitor centers and nearby surrounding areas, suggesting outcomes such as exhibits, signage, educational panels, media components, or other interpretation tools typically used in visitor centers and outdoor public spaces.
Project activities are organized around a sequence of six connected planning meetings. These meetings are designed to be iterative and cumulative, moving from early-stage discussions about basic parameters and goals into more detailed decisions about content, concepts, design direction, and eventual implementation. In practical terms, that structure implies a facilitated process where participants revisit decisions, build consensus, refine messaging, and align interpretive plans with both the DNWRC management context and the cultural knowledge and priorities of the seven Nuwuvi nations. The emphasis on sequential meetings also signals a deliberate planning workflow rather than a one-off consultation.
Funding for the opportunity totals exactly $63,483, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $63,483, indicating the agency anticipates a single fixed-size award rather than a range of award amounts. The expected number of awards is one. The funding instrument is listed as a cooperative agreement/grant, which typically means the Fish and Wildlife Service expects to remain substantially involved during the project period, often through coordination, technical support, and shared decision-making as the work progresses. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to bring additional non-federal funds to receive the award.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations, including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education) and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also other than institutions of higher education). Key administrative dates show the announcement was posted and created on November 24, 2010, with an original and current closing date of December 3, 2010, and an archive date of January 2, 2011.
