Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CALCC 1006) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. The purpose is to support the establishment and operation of Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs) in California, with a particular emphasis on improving how agencies and partners respond to large-scale conservation challenges, including climate change. The idea behind the LCC model is to create applied conservation partnerships that bring together the Service, the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG), other government entities, non-governmental organizations, and additional stakeholders working within a defined geographic area. Rather than focusing on isolated projects, the LCC approach is built for landscape-scale planning and coordinated action across jurisdictions.
At the center of this opportunity is the California LCC (CA LCC), which is described as a science and technical support hub for conservation at broad spatial scales. The CA LCC is expected to operate within an adaptive management framework, meaning it supports ongoing decision-making that can be updated as new data and lessons learned emerge. The agreement is intended to strengthen science-based biological planning and conservation design, while also supporting research, inventory work, and monitoring. In practical terms, that means helping partners figure out what conservation actions are most needed, where they will be most effective, what information gaps still exist, and how to track ecological changes over time so management can be adjusted accordingly.
A key goal of the agreement is coordination. The Service explicitly frames this award as a way to promote close working relationships among the Service, the CA LCC, and CDFG, ensuring that the cooperative structure functions smoothly and that partners are aligned on priorities and processes. The California Wildlife Foundation (CWF) is identified as uniquely suited to serve as the coordinating entity, acting as a connective organization that can help synchronize efforts among federal and state agencies and the broader network of partners. This reflects the cooperative agreement structure, which typically involves substantial involvement by the federal agency and a shared role in implementation rather than a fully hands-off grant.
The anticipated public benefits are described in several concrete ways. First, the work is meant to promote consistency among federal, state, and local climate change response activities, reducing duplication and conflicting approaches across jurisdictions. Second, it aims to leverage both public and private resources, which suggests the partnership is expected to attract expertise, data, staffing capacity, and potentially additional funding beyond the federal contribution. Third, it emphasizes improving management effectiveness through science, linking conservation decisions more tightly to biological data and technical analysis. Finally, it highlights building human capital, meaning expanding the number and capability of people and organizations able to address the environmental, economic, cultural, and social impacts associated with climate change.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with a fixed estimated total funding amount of $118,563, which is also listed as both the award ceiling and the award floor, indicating a single, set award size rather than a competitive range. A cost-sharing requirement applies, and the specified cost share amount is $49,591. Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The posting date and creation date are both August 16, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 30, 2010, and an archive date of September 29, 2010. The period of service is anticipated to run through September 30, 2015, indicating a multi-year coordination and support effort rather than a short-term project.
