Opportunity Summary:
The Wildlife Restoration Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number WR 2011 R2) 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. Its core purpose is to return dedicated, user-generated revenues to conservation work by using excise taxes collected on firearms, ammunition, archery equipment, and arrow components. Those tax receipts are deposited into the Wildlife Restoration Account and then appropriated to support wildlife restoration and related activities, including hunter education, through financial assistance grants.
Funding is not awarded through a typical competitive process with a set “pot†announced in advance. Instead, funds are distributed to states and U.S. insular areas based on an apportionment formula, meaning each eligible jurisdiction receives an allocation calculated according to program rules rather than competing against other applicants for a single national award. Because of that structure, the listing shows no estimated total funding and no stated award ceiling or floor, which is consistent with formula-based programs where award amounts vary by jurisdiction and year.
Eligibility is narrowly defined. The eligible applicants are the designated state fish and wildlife agencies (and, by extension, relevant agencies in insular areas) identified for this program. The opportunity category is listed as mandatory, and the instrument type is a grant. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, so recipients are expected to contribute a portion of project costs in accordance with program requirements.
The opportunity was posted and created on November 17, 2011, with an original closing date of September 29, 2012 and a current closing date of September 30, 2012. It was archived on October 1, 2012. Additional program information was referenced through a link titled “Wildlife Restoration Program Funding.†For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed contact was Linda Franks at the Fish and Wildlife Service (505-248-6426, lindafranks@fws.gov).
