Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "RECOVERY FOR THE ENDANGERED CALIFORNIA CONDOR" (Funding Opportunity Number FWS R8 2010 001) was a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service funding announcement focused on supporting recovery work for the endangered California condor population in Arizona and Utah. The project emphasis, as stated in the announcement, was to advance condor conservation through a partnership with The Peregrine Fund, reflecting a targeted, place-based effort in the Southwest where reintroduced and managed condor populations face ongoing threats and require intensive monitoring and management.
This opportunity was categorized as an earmark and used a grant as the funding instrument. The activity category was listed as "Science and Technology and other Research and Development," which signals that the funded work was expected to include research-driven or technical conservation actions rather than only general outreach or administrative support. The announcement anticipated a single award, indicating the funding was intended for one primary recipient or lead partner rather than being distributed across multiple grantees.
The total estimated funding amount was $634,000, with the award ceiling and floor both set at $634,000. In practice, that means the agency planned a fixed-size award rather than a range of possible award amounts. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility or award.
Eligible applicants were limited to a specific category: nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (other than institutions of higher education). That eligibility description is narrow and suggests the funding was structured for a particular type of organization or partnership arrangement, consistent with the earmark nature of the opportunity and the explicit mention of working through The Peregrine Fund.
The funding opportunity was posted and created on June 11, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 14, 2010. The archive date was June 15, 2010. The extremely short open period is another indicator that this announcement functioned more like a time-sensitive, targeted award than a broad, competitive grant cycle.
Two CFDA program numbers were associated with the opportunity: 15.615 (Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund) and 15.631 (Partners for Fish and Wildlife). These CFDA references point to federal program authorities commonly used to support endangered species recovery actions and collaborative fish and wildlife conservation work, aligning with the condor recovery mission and a partnership-based delivery model.
For assistance, the listed contact was Chris Barr, Deputy Project Leader, with a phone number of 805-644-5185. The announcement text also notes "Endangered California Condor," reinforcing that questions were intended to route to staff connected to the condor program.
