Opportunity Summary:
The Painted Woods Project (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00441) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, focused on natural resources work that supports long-term wildlife habitat protection. It is issued as a Notice of Intent to make a single-source award, meaning the agency planned to award one grant without a competitive process, specifically to The American Foundation for Wildlife (AFW). The opportunity is associated with CFDA 15.623 and was created on August 30, 2016, with an original closing date of September 5, 2017. The expected number of awards is one, with an award ceiling listed at $556,500.
The core purpose of the project is land acquisition for conservation. AFW approached the North Dakota Partners for Fish and Wildlife (ND PFW) program with a proposal to purchase a tract of land as part of a larger application to the North American Wetlands Conservation Council under the North American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA). That broader NAWCA proposal succeeded in receiving funding, and the federal funds are intended to be combined with contributions from AFW and the North Dakota Natural Resources Trust. Together, these funds will be used to acquire the property, after which the land will be transferred to the North Dakota Game and Fish Department (NDGF).
Once transferred, the tract will be managed in perpetuity as a wildlife management area, with a clear emphasis on providing and maintaining habitat for migratory birds. In practical terms, this means the project is structured to deliver a permanent conservation outcome rather than a temporary restoration or short-term management effort. The grant funds support a transaction and partnership arrangement designed to secure habitat protection over the long term, leveraging multiple funding sources and placing the land under a state wildlife agency that will manage it as protected habitat going forward.
