Opportunity Summary:
The Upper Delaware River Wetland Restoration grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00220) is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service using a cooperative agreement. Its purpose is to support on-the-ground restoration work focused on rebuilding approximately 30 acres of wet meadow and shallow emergent wetland habitat within the Upper Delaware River watershed. The project sits within the Environment and Natural Resources activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.658 (Natural Resource Damage Assessment, Restoration and Implementation), which generally supports efforts to restore natural resources and habitat functions impacted by past damage.
Funding for this opportunity is relatively targeted and limited in scale, with the agency expecting to make a single award. The estimated total funding available is $106,000, which also serves as the award ceiling, while the award floor is $75,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. Because this is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, recipients should expect a more hands-on relationship with the Fish and Wildlife Service during project execution, often including coordination on technical approaches, deliverables, and progress reporting.
Eligibility is broadly defined as unrestricted, and the announcement states that all potential applicants are eligible, subject to any clarifications that might appear in the full notice under the additional eligibility information section. In practical terms, this typically means a wide range of entities could apply, such as nonprofit organizations, local or tribal governments, academic institutions, or private entities, as long as they can meet the program requirements and demonstrate the capacity to carry out the restoration work described.
The posting date and creation date are both June 6, 2014, and the application window runs from June 6, 2014 through September 1, 2014, which is listed as both the original and current closing date. Applicants were directed to the full announcement on Grants.gov for complete requirements, forms, and instructions. For assistance accessing the announcement or addressing technical issues, the contact listed is Artela Jacobs, Contract Specialist at the Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable at 404-679-7197 or via email at ArtelaJacobs@fws.gov.
