Opportunity Summary:
The Tribal Wildlife Grants FY2014 opportunity was a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to support wildlife-related projects led by federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The program sits under CFDA 15.639 (Tribal Wildlife Grants Program) and is geared toward work connected to education, the environment, natural resources, and science and technology or other research and development activities. In practical terms, this funding stream is meant to help tribes carry out on-the-ground conservation efforts and related planning, research, or community-focused initiatives that benefit wildlife and habitat.
For FY2014, FWS anticipated making about 23 awards from an estimated total funding pool of $3,925,000. Individual projects could request up to $200,000, which was the stated award ceiling. The listing noted an award floor of $15,000, and it also emphasized an important administrative reality: even though there was no true minimum award requirement, all proposals must go through environmental compliance processes. Because of that, proposals under roughly $25,000 to $30,000 often end up facing a proportionally heavier administrative burden relative to the small dollar amount requested. In other words, smaller requests can still be eligible, but they may not be as efficient to pursue given the compliance workload that applies regardless of budget size.
The eligible applicant pool was limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The funding instrument type was a standard grant, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award. Key dates for the opportunity included a posted date of May 1, 2013, with the application closing date set for September 3, 2013, and an archive date of October 3, 2013.
Applicants needing help locating or accessing the full announcement were directed to contact Patrick Durham, Senior Native American Liaison at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, by phone at 703-358-1728. An additional information link was referenced as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Native American Grants page, which would typically provide supporting guidance, forms, and program context for tribal applicants.
