Opportunity Summary:
The Texas Wetlands Project Cow Trap Lake (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00273) was a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.630 (Coastal Program). It was designed as a single-source award, meaning the agency intended to fund one specific applicant rather than run a broad competitive process. The project focus was on on-the-ground habitat work within the San Bernard National Wildlife Refuge, targeting the restoration, enhancement, and establishment of approximately 254 acres of habitat. The habitat types specifically mentioned include freshwater wetlands, coastal wetlands, flooded agricultural lands managed for wildlife values, and the transitional upland areas that support and buffer wetland systems. In practical terms, the work would typically involve actions like hydrologic improvements, wetland vegetation management, and related habitat treatments that improve wetland function for fish and wildlife, though the notice itself summarizes the intent rather than listing detailed tasks.
Funding was set at a fixed amount of $45,000, with an award floor and ceiling both listed at $45,000, and the agency expected to make exactly one award. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient was not required to provide a non-federal match as a condition of the grant. The funding instrument type was a grant, and the activity category was Natural Resources, aligning with wetland conservation and habitat management objectives.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofits with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The announcement was posted on June 30, 2014, with the application deadline set for July 7, 2014, indicating a very short submission window consistent with single-source announcements. The opportunity was later archived on June 29, 2015. Additional details and the full announcement were available through Grants.gov at the time, and the listed point of contact for access issues was Michelle Willcox, Grants Specialist, reachable at 505-248-7486 or MichelleWillcox@fws.gov.
