Opportunity Summary:
The State Wildlife Grant Program funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: SWG 2011 R3) is a mandatory federal grant program administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (CFDA 15.634, State Wildlife Grants). Its core purpose is to provide federal funding to support the development and implementation of programs that conserve wildlife and wildlife habitat. A key feature of this program is that it is not limited to traditionally managed game species; it explicitly includes species that are not hunted or fished, which often includes many birds, reptiles, amphibians, pollinators, and other at-risk species that can be overlooked by more harvest-focused funding streams.
The program places clear emphasis on conservation priorities by directing attention to projects that benefit "species of greatest conservation concern." In practical terms, that means proposals are expected to focus on species and habitats identified through state-level wildlife planning and conservation prioritization processes, typically those facing notable threats such as habitat loss, fragmentation, invasive species, disease, altered hydrology, or other stressors. Projects supported under this opportunity can include activities such as habitat restoration or enhancement, population monitoring, research needed to guide management actions, conservation planning, and other implementation work that directly advances wildlife conservation outcomes. The overall intent is to strengthen proactive conservation so species do not decline to the point where they require federal listing under the Endangered Species Act.
Eligibility for this opportunity is limited: the eligible applicants are designated state fish and wildlife agencies. The listing notes "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the formal eligibility statement specifies state fish and wildlife agencies as the applicants, meaning other entities (such as universities, nonprofits, tribes, or local governments) would generally participate through partnerships or subawards coordinated through the eligible state agency rather than applying directly. The opportunity also includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants must plan to provide non-federal match consistent with program rules, which is a common structure for state wildlife grant programs intended to leverage state, local, or partner resources.
Key timing information in the announcement shows it was posted on November 28, 2011, with an application closing date of September 30, 2012, and the opportunity archived on October 2, 2012. The published fields for estimated total funding and award floor/ceiling are shown as zero in the source data, which typically indicates that the public-facing posting did not specify those amounts in the summary fields rather than implying that no funding was available. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is Natural Resources.
