Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Region 8 Award to NFWF for Conservation Projects" (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00350) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). It is designed to support on-the-ground conservation work and related investigations in the Pacific Southwest Region (Region 8). The central purpose is to fund projects that help conserve federally listed threatened and endangered species, as well as other species considered at risk, with an emphasis on practical actions and information that directly improves species management and recovery outcomes.
This award is structured to generate and apply conservation results through activities like collecting baseline biological information and conducting monitoring that supports key Endangered Species Act work. In practice, the types of efforts envisioned include projects that inform or support listed species consultations, advance recovery plan implementation for listed species, contribute to the conservation of at-risk species before they become listed, and monitor species that have been delisted to ensure they remain stable. The overall focus is on targeted data collection and monitoring that can be used by managers to make better decisions, measure progress, and document outcomes over time.
Eligibility for this particular opportunity is narrowly defined. The intended recipient is the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF), a congressionally chartered organization created in 1984 to protect and restore fish and wildlife and their habitats. Under this arrangement, NFWF works in partnership with FWS and provides grants on a competitive basis to support imperiled species conservation, habitat improvement, and water conservation for wildlife and people. In other words, while the federal announcement is an award to NFWF, the broader intent is that NFWF will administer or distribute funding through competitive grants aligned with FWS regional priorities.
Financially, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of 700,000 dollars, with an expected number of seven awards. The award floor and award ceiling are both stated as 100,000 dollars, indicating that individual awards under the opportunity were anticipated to be set at that level. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means projects funded under this program are not obligated by the announcement to provide non-federal match as a condition of award (though specific sub-award programs can sometimes encourage leverage even when it is not required).
The opportunity falls under the Environment funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. The posting date and creation date were both July 29, 2014. The original and current closing date was August 13, 2014, and the archive date was August 15, 2014, indicating the application window for the federal action was short and the listing is now historical rather than active.
For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Johnny Facio at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable at 916-978-4307 or via email at johnnyfacio@fws.gov. The announcement also references an additional information link on the government grants website for the complete posting and any supporting details.
