Opportunity Summary:
The State Wildlife Grants (SWG) Program is a federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to help states develop and carry out wildlife conservation efforts. The program is designed to fund practical, on-the-ground and programmatic work that benefits wildlife and the habitats they depend on, with a clear emphasis on species that are not traditionally managed through hunting or fishing programs. A central priority of this funding is support for projects that address "species of greatest conservation concern," meaning species identified by states as needing focused conservation attention to prevent further declines and reduce the likelihood that they will require protection under the Endangered Species Act.
This opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number SWG 2011 R6 and is categorized as a mandatory grant program, meaning it is established through federal authority and follows required program rules rather than being a one-time or purely discretionary competition. The funding activity area is Natural Resources, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.634 (State Wildlife Grants). Applicants should expect a cost sharing or matching requirement, indicating that federal dollars must be paired with non-federal contributions according to program rules. The announcement 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.
Eligibility is narrowly defined. The eligible applicants are the designated state fish and wildlife agencies (the official state agencies responsible for fish and wildlife management). While the listing uses a broad label of "Others" with clarification in the eligibility text, the specific eligibility statement makes clear that this opportunity is intended for those state agencies rather than local governments, nonprofits, universities, tribes, or private entities applying directly. In practice, other organizations may still participate as partners, contractors, or subrecipients through the state agency lead, but the state fish and wildlife agency is the entity expected to apply and hold the award.
The announcement does not provide a stated estimated total funding amount, nor does it list an award ceiling or floor in the summary fields, which often indicates that amounts vary by allocation formulas, appropriations, or regional guidance rather than being set as a fixed competitive pot with defined minimums and maximums. For applicants needing the full text or having trouble accessing the announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Stephen Jose at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable at 303-236-7394 or stevejose@fws.gov.
