Opportunity Summary:
The Service Training and Technical Assistance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00435) was a discretionary grant announced by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.649 (Service Training and Technical Assistance, described as generic training). The agency planned to make a single award, structured as a grant, with an estimated total funding amount of $15,000 and an award ceiling of $15,000 (award floor listed as $1). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement.
This funding notice was specifically intended as a single-source (non-competitive) grant agreement to the League of United Latin Americans (LULAC) to sponsor LULAC's 2015 National Convention. In practical terms, that means the announcement was not seeking proposals from a broad pool of applicants for competing awards; instead, it documented the agency's intent to fund a particular organization for a defined outreach and engagement purpose.
The purpose of the sponsorship was to expand awareness and participation in outdoor recreation and conservation among Hispanic/Latino communities. The notice emphasizes several related goals: highlighting the benefits and positive impacts of outdoor recreation for Hispanic Americans/Latinos; promoting access to and enjoyment of federal lands for recreation; creating more targeted engagement between LULAC councils and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service facilities across the country (with particular attention to urban areas); and helping build a pipeline of young Hispanic/Latino individuals interested in careers in wildlife conservation, including biological sciences. Overall, the grant ties convention sponsorship to broader public engagement and workforce-development objectives in natural resources and conservation.
Eligibility in the listing is described generally as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), though the narrative makes clear the intended recipient was LULAC through a single-source award. Key dates in the posting show it was posted and created on August 13, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 20, 2015, and an archive date of December 31, 2015. The activity category is Environment and Natural Resources, and the announcement referenced Grants.gov for additional information. The listed point of contact was Brian Bohnsack, Recreational Boating and Fishing Liaison, reachable at 703-358-7890 and BrianBohnsack@fws.gov.
