Opportunity Summary:
The Ozark Urban Nature Connection Experience (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00236) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service through a cooperative agreement in the Education and Natural Resources funding activity category. The project centers on delivering "Deep Nature Connection" programming for the Ozark Plateau National Wildlife Refuge (NWR), with an emphasis on nature-connection workshops that use primitive skills as a teaching approach. The opportunity description indicates that the Ozark Tracker Society has already conducted these workshops for the refuge in prior years and is considered uniquely qualified to continue providing this specific type of experiential training.
Funding for this opportunity is relatively small and targeted. The estimated total funding is $24,900, with an award ceiling of $24,900 and no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). Only one award is expected, which suggests the agency anticipated selecting a single organization to carry out the full scope of work rather than splitting funds among multiple recipients. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute additional non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive, based on the posted summary.
Eligibility is broad across several organizational types, including nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also other than institutions of higher education), and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The listing is associated with CFDA number 15.649, described as Service Training and Technical Assistance (Generic Training), which aligns with the workshop and training nature of the activity.
Timing for the solicitation was short. The opportunity was posted and created on July 9, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 15, 2013. That timeline implies a rapid turnaround for proposals and may reflect the continuation of an existing program relationship and a near-term need to schedule or deliver workshops.
