Opportunity Summary:
The Water Well Rehabilitation grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00232) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) under the Natural Resources activity category. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project activities compared with a standard grant. The announcement is essentially a notice of intent to award rather than an open, competitive solicitation: FWS states it plans to make a single-source award using FY 2013 funds to the Friends of Aransas Matagorda Island National Wildlife Refuge (FAMI). In practical terms, this indicates the agency has already identified the intended recipient and is publicly documenting that decision.
Funding is expected to support one award, with an estimated total amount of $25,000. The award ceiling is listed as $25,000, and the award floor is $0, reflecting that the total project funding is capped at twenty-five thousand dollars and that the minimum could vary depending on final negotiations or scope. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to contribute a defined portion of non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
The opportunity is tied to CFDA number 15.611, Wildlife Restoration and Basic Hunter Education, which is a federal assistance program area often associated with habitat, wildlife management, and related restoration or conservation support. Although the specific project details beyond the title are not expanded in the provided summary, the title "Water Well Rehabilitation" indicates the cooperative agreement is meant to rehabilitate or restore a water well, likely to support refuge operations, habitat needs, wildlife water access, or related on-the-ground infrastructure at or connected to Aransas Matagorda Island National Wildlife Refuge.
Eligibility categories shown include nonprofit organizations, including those with 501(c)(3) status and those without 501(c)(3) status (in both cases excluding institutions of higher education). However, because the announcement specifies a single-source intent to award to FAMI, eligibility is more of a formal listing than an invitation for broad applicant competition. The posting date and creation date are both July 8, 2013, and the original and current closing dates are July 12, 2013, indicating a very short public window typical of notices of intent rather than competitive grant rounds.
For applicants or stakeholders seeking the full announcement details, the listing points to Grants.gov as the official source. The contact person for assistance, including help accessing the announcement electronically, is Bernard Lujan at the Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable at 505-248-6805 or BernardLujan@fws.gov.
