Opportunity Summary:
The State Wildlife Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number: SWG 2011 R4) is a mandatory federal grant program administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (CFDA: 15.634, State Wildlife Grants). Its purpose is to provide federal funding to support the development and implementation of programs that conserve wildlife and wildlife habitats. A key feature of this program is that it is not limited to game species; it explicitly includes species that are not hunted or fished, reflecting a broader conservation mission focused on overall biodiversity and ecosystem health.
The program places particular emphasis on projects that help "species of greatest conservation concern." In practical terms, that priority signals that proposals are expected to address species and habitats facing the highest risks, such as declining populations, fragmented or degraded habitats, emerging threats, or other conservation pressures that make proactive intervention important. While the announcement text provided does not list specific eligible activities in detail, the program description indicates funding can be used both for planning and for on-the-ground implementation, as long as the work is designed to benefit wildlife and their habitats.
Eligibility is limited to designated state fish and wildlife agencies. The listing notes "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the eligibility statement clarifies that the eligible applicant is the designated state fish and wildlife agency, which typically means the primary statewide agency legally responsible for managing wildlife resources. The opportunity includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants must provide a non-federal share of project costs consistent with the program rules (the specific match ratio is not provided in the excerpt, but applicants should expect to document and track match contributions as part of the award).
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity was posted on November 28, 2011 (created November 29, 2011). The closing date for submissions was September 30, 2012, and the opportunity was archived on October 2, 2012. The funding record shows estimated total funding and award ceiling/floor as 0 in the listing, which usually indicates that the public synopsis did not specify amounts in those fields rather than implying that no funding existed; applicants would normally confirm actual available funding levels, allocation formulas, and award sizing through the full announcement or agency guidance.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Craig Cavalli at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable at 404-679-4166 or craigcavalli@fws.gov.
