Opportunity Summary:
The "Restore Americas Estuaries" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 98210 7 J020) is a continuation funding announcement issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under its Coastal Program (CFDA 15.630). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, rather than simply awarding funds and stepping back. The funding falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is specifically presented as a single-source continuation, meaning the agency is justifying awarding the funds to a specific recipient to continue an existing effort rather than running a broad, competitive process.
The stated purpose is straightforward: the funding is intended to complete an ongoing project, and the agency indicates that the activity to be funded is necessary to finish that work. In other words, this is not framed as a new, open-ended restoration initiative for new applicants to propose from scratch; it is designed to extend or complete previously funded project activities tied to estuary restoration goals.
Financially, the opportunity is narrowly defined. The agency expected to make one award, and the total award amount is fixed, with both the award ceiling and award floor listed at $35,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to provide additional non-federal funds to receive the award.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education. The narrow eligibility and the single-source continuation framing reinforce that this announcement is not meant for a wide pool of applicants, but rather for a specific continuation recipient that fits the stated category.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on April 8, 2011, with an original and current closing date of April 15, 2011, indicating a very short application window typical of continuation actions. The archive date is May 15, 2011, which is when the posting would have been moved into historical records.
For assistance accessing the full announcement electronically, the contact listed is Stephanie Long, Administrative Officer, reachable by phone at 703-358-1749.
