Opportunity Summary:
The Wildlife Without Borders Critically Endangered Animals Conservation Fund (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00153) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service grant program focused on on-the-ground conservation for the worlds most imperiled animal species. The main purpose is to support projects that reduce extinction risk for species facing very high threats, with eligibility tied closely to a species conservation status on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List. Projects are expected to directly contribute to conserving species that are listed as Critically Endangered, Endangered, or Vulnerable. The program also allows proposals for species listed as Data Deficient, but only when the applicant can provide credible information showing that the situation is urgent enough to warrant immediate conservation action. In addition, species listed as Extinct in the Wild can be supported when the proposal is specifically aimed at attempting a reintroduction.
The opportunity is offered as a discretionary funding program using either cooperative agreements or standard grants, and it sits in the Environment and Natural Resources activity category (CFDA 15.673). The announcement anticipated making around 15 awards, with an estimated total funding pool of $300,000. Individual awards were expected to range from $25,000 to $50,000, establishing both a floor and a ceiling for typical project budgets. Importantly, the program does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can make it more accessible to smaller organizations or projects operating in resource-limited settings.
Eligibility is broad and described as unrestricted, meaning many different types of entities can apply as long as they meet any conditions stated in the full announcement. Examples of eligible applicants include individuals, multinational secretariats, state and local government agencies, non profit and non governmental organizations, community and indigenous organizations, and public or private institutions of higher education. U.S.-based non profit, non governmental organizations have an additional documentation requirement: they must submit proof of their Internal Revenue Service 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(4) status as part of eligibility verification.
