Opportunity Summary:
The Wildlife Restoration Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number: WR 2011 R4) is a mandatory federal grant program administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.611, Wildlife Restoration and Basic Hunter Education. The program is funded through excise taxes collected on firearms, ammunition, archery equipment, and arrow components. Those tax revenues are deposited into the Wildlife Restoration Account and then appropriated to support wildlife restoration-related work. Rather than being a typical discretionary grant competition, this program functions as a financial assistance mechanism that distributes funds to states and U.S. insular areas according to a statutory apportionment formula.
The opportunity is categorized as a grant under the Natural Resources funding activity area, and it includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients must contribute a non-federal share toward supported projects consistent with program rules. Because funding is apportioned by formula, the posting does not list a traditional estimated total funding amount or award ceiling/floor, and those fields are shown as zero in the source record. In practice, award amounts are determined by the formula-based allocation and the specific eligible activities proposed and approved within each recipient jurisdiction.
Eligibility is limited to designated state fish and wildlife agencies (with insular area participation referenced as part of the program structure). This reflects the program's purpose as a core federal-state partnership for conservation and related hunter education activities, channeling dedicated excise-tax revenues back into wildlife management and restoration efforts carried out by the responsible public agencies.
The announcement record shows it was posted and created on November 17, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 30, 2012, and an archive date of October 1, 2012. For official program details and guidance, the listing points applicants to the Wildlife Restoration Program link provided in the announcement. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the contact listed is William Cook at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable at 404-679-4198 or dwaynecook@fws.gov.
