Opportunity Summary:
The State Wildlife Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number: SWG 2011 R1) is a mandatory federal grant program administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that supports state-led efforts to conserve wildlife and the habitats they depend on. The focus is broad in terms of wildlife conservation, specifically including species that are not hunted or fished, which often means attention is directed toward nongame species and the ecosystems that sustain them. A central theme of the opportunity is practical, on-the-ground conservation work as well as the planning and program development needed to make conservation efforts effective over the long term.
A key priority for funding under this opportunity is projects that benefit Species of Greatest Conservation Concern. In practice, this means proposals are expected to be closely aligned with state conservation priorities, typically those identified through statewide wildlife planning and assessment processes. Projects that directly improve outcomes for these high-priority species, or that protect, restore, or manage the habitats most critical to them, are positioned as the program's main emphasis. The opportunity supports both developing and implementing conservation programs, so it can include activities such as designing conservation strategies, monitoring and research that informs management, habitat restoration actions, and other structured conservation initiatives that states use to prevent species from becoming threatened or endangered.
Eligibility is limited to designated state fish and wildlife agencies. While the listing shows "Others" under eligible applicants, the eligibility clarification makes clear that the intended and eligible applicants are the official state-level fish and wildlife agencies that are formally designated for this role. This means local governments, nonprofits, universities, and other partners would generally participate by collaborating with the state agency rather than applying directly, unless the state agency is the applicant of record.
The opportunity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is cataloged under CFDA number 15.634 (State Wildlife Grants). Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning recipients are expected to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind support according to the program's rules. The public notice for this opportunity was posted on November 28, 2011, with an application closing date of September 30, 2012, and the opportunity was archived on October 2, 2012. The announcement record lists award ceiling, award floor, and estimated total funding as 0, which usually indicates that specific dollar amounts were not provided in the summary record and would need to be confirmed in the full announcement or related program guidance.
For applicants or stakeholders who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Kelly Sliger at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable by phone at 503-231-2067 or by email at kellysliger@fws.gov.
