Opportunity Summary:
The Tulare Basin Planning 2011 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 80211AG100) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Migratory Bird Joint Ventures program (CFDA 15.637). It was designed to fund a single award supporting environmental planning and coordination work in Californias Tulare Lake Basin region. The main goal is to strengthen and continue the working relationship between Tulare Basin Wildlife Partners and Conservation Strategy Group Consulting so they can carry out targeted informational and educational activities that help move a large set of conservation efforts from concepts to actionable implementation strategies.
At its core, the grant is meant to support planning and stakeholder-focused work that contributes directly to developing strategies for implementing more than 57 land and water conservation projects that were previously identified by the Tulare Lake Basin Working Group. Rather than funding on-the-ground construction or land acquisition itself, the description emphasizes the enabling work that makes implementation more feasible: coordination, information sharing, outreach, education, and other activities that help partners align on priorities, build public and stakeholder understanding, and develop practical pathways to carry projects forward. In that sense, the opportunity functions as capacity support for basin-wide conservation planning, helping translate a portfolio of identified projects into a clearer roadmap for execution.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), and the program did not require cost sharing or matching funds. The opportunity anticipated one award, consistent with the narrow and partnership-specific purpose described in the announcement. The posting and closing timeline was very short, with the announcement posted on June 1, 2010 and closing on June 8, 2010, then later archived on July 8, 2010, which is typical of a targeted discretionary funding action focused on an existing partnership arrangement.
For applicants or interested parties who needed help accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Ruth Ostroff, CVJV Assistant Coordinator, reachable by phone at 916-414-6460 or by email at ruthostroff@fws.gov.
