Opportunity Summary:
The State Wildlife Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number: SWG 2011 R2) is a mandatory federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.634 (State Wildlife Grants). Its purpose is to provide federal funding to help develop and carry out programs that conserve wildlife and the habitats they depend on. A key feature of this program is that it is not limited to game species; it explicitly supports efforts that benefit a wide range of wildlife, including species that are not hunted or fished. Within that broad goal, the program emphasizes projects that provide measurable benefits to species identified as being of greatest conservation concern, meaning species that are most at risk and typically highlighted through state-level conservation planning.
Eligibility is limited to designated state fish and wildlife agencies. In other words, this opportunity is meant to be applied for by the official state agency responsible for fish and wildlife management, rather than by individuals, universities, nonprofits, or local governments applying directly. The listing indicates a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants should expect that federal funds must be paired with non-federal match according to program rules, which often affects project budgeting and partner coordination.
The opportunity was posted and created on November 28, 2011, and the original as well as current closing date was September 30, 2012. The archive date is October 2, 2012, indicating the announcement is no longer active. The public summary data shown lists the estimated total funding and award ceiling/floor as 0, which typically means the specific funding amounts were not provided in this abbreviated record or were determined through allocations or formulas outside the summary fields rather than through a single competitive total listed in the notice.
For applicants or stakeholders who needed help accessing the full announcement at the time, the point of contact listed is Linda Franks at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (phone: 505-248-6426; email: lindafranks@fws.gov).
