Opportunity Summary:
The Urban Outdoor Summit grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00409) was a discretionary grant issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Natural Resources funding activity category. It was designed as a sponsorship award to support the 2015 Urban Outdoor Summit held in Atlanta, Georgia. The purpose of the sponsorship was largely outreach-focused: it aimed to raise awareness of the Service's conservation mission, highlight the public value of lands managed by the Service, and encourage engagement with the recreational and educational opportunities available on those public lands. A central emphasis of this effort was connecting these messages and opportunities with the African American community in the Atlanta area.
This announcement was explicitly a sole source notice of award, meaning it was not a competitive funding opportunity open to multiple applicants. Instead, the Service stated its intent to make a single-source grant agreement directly to one organization: Urban American Productions. The overall structure reflects a targeted partnership approach, where the agency selected a specific sponsor for a specific event in order to reach a particular audience and advance public awareness of conservation and outdoor recreation benefits.
Financially, the opportunity anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $9,999. The award ceiling was set at $9,999 and the award floor was listed as $1, indicating the maximum expected sponsorship amount and the minimum possible award amount. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient was not required to contribute a non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds. The eligible applicant category was listed as small businesses, which aligns with the named recipient.
Key timeline details show that the opportunity was posted and created on July 30, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 7, 2015, and an archive date of August 31, 2015. Because the notice was sole source, the "closing date" functions more as an administrative posting window than a deadline for competitive applications. The listing referenced the Grants.gov website for additional information, and the point of contact for questions was Brian Bohnsack, Recreational Boating and Fishing Liaison, reachable at 703-358-2435 or BrianBohnsack@fws.gov. The associated CFDA number was 15.649 (Service Training and Technical Assistance, Generic Training), signaling that the activity fit within the Service's broader assistance framework for outreach, training, and technical support related to its mission.
