Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "U.S. Fish and Wildlife Cooperative Agreement with California Wildlife Foundation" (Funding Opportunity Number CALCC 1004) is a discretionary cooperative agreement issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. It was posted on August 10, 2010, with an application closing date of August 24, 2010, and later archived on September 23, 2010. The Service announced this as a Notice of Intent to make a single expected award, meaning the agency was signaling its plan to fund a specific partner rather than opening a broad competition.
At its core, the purpose of the award is to strengthen coordination across climate change adaptation efforts for wildlife and habitat conservation in California. The Fish and Wildlife Service, together with partners including the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG), is developing Landscape Conservation Cooperatives (LCCs). These LCCs are described as applied conservation partnerships that bring together federal and state agencies, other governmental bodies, nongovernmental organizations, and additional stakeholders within defined geographic areas. The LCC framework is meant to help partners tackle large-scale conservation challenges that do not fit neatly within a single jurisdiction, with climate change highlighted as a major driver for this work.
The specific objective of this agreement is to support alignment between the LCCs and California's wildlife climate adaptation strategy. To do that, the project would fund the services of a professional consultant who would function as a liaison between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and CDFG. In practical terms, the funded work is aimed at keeping multiple planning and implementation efforts synchronized, reducing duplication, and ensuring that climate adaptation initiatives being developed by the Service, the California LCC, CDFG, and other public and private conservation partners are closely coordinated and mutually reinforcing.
The California Wildlife Foundation (CWF) is identified as the intended recipient and is presented as uniquely positioned to take on this coordination role. CWF is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit created specifically to support CDFG and its partners. The notice emphasizes CWF's capacity to accept funds on behalf of CDFG, manage contracts for CDFG-approved projects, and help facilitate the development of regional land and wildlife management plans. These functions align with the cooperative agreement's needs, since the award is designed to support cross-organization coordination and contracting for consultant services rather than traditional on-the-ground construction or direct habitat work.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $149,966, with an award floor and ceiling both set at $149,966, reinforcing that the agency anticipated one award at a fixed level. The listing also states that cost sharing or matching is required, so the recipient would be expected to provide a non-federal contribution consistent with the terms laid out in the full notice. Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), which matches CWF's nonprofit designation and reinforces that this was structured around a specific eligible partner.
For applicants trying to access the full documentation, the posting notes that the "Full Announcement" button on the web page did not work at the time and provides alternate navigation steps to download the full Notice of Intent and the required application forms through the "Application" section and the "Instructions and Application" download link. The contact listed for assistance with accessing the announcement is Dwight (Ike) Luginbill, Grants/Agreements Assistant with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable by phone at 209-946-6400 extension 340.
