Opportunity Summary:
The State Wildlife Grant Program funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SWG 2011 R5) is a mandatory federal grant program administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (CFDA 15.634, State Wildlife Grants). Its main purpose is to provide federal funds to help states develop and carry out programs that conserve wildlife and the habitats those species depend on. 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, which often means a strong focus on broader biodiversity conservation and habitat-based work.
The program places priority on projects that benefit "species of greatest conservation concern." In practical terms, that usually means species that state wildlife agencies have identified as most at risk due to factors like habitat loss, fragmentation, invasive species, disease, pollution, climate-related stressors, or other threats. While the notice does not list specific eligible project types in the excerpt provided, the description signals support for both planning and on-the-ground implementation work, as long as the outcome is improved conservation for wildlife and habitats, especially for those high-priority species.
Eligibility is limited to designated state fish and wildlife agencies, meaning the primary applicants are the official state-level agencies responsible for wildlife management and conservation. The listing indicates a cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants should expect that federal funds must be paired with non-federal contributions according to the program's rules. The opportunity was posted and created on November 28, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 30, 2012, and it was archived on October 2, 2012, indicating this specific announcement is no longer open.
The announcement does not provide usable figures for total funding or award size in the fields shown (Estimated Total Funding, Award Ceiling, and Award Floor are all listed as 0), which typically means those amounts were either not entered into the public summary fields or were determined through other guidance and allocations rather than a single fixed competition amount. For help accessing the full announcement or resolving access issues, the listed contact is Judy Driscoll at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable at 413-253-8409 or judydriscoll@fws.gov.
