Opportunity Summary:
The Youth Engagement, Education and Employment opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00329) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project during the period of performance rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal participation. The focus area is listed under education, environment, and natural resources, and it is associated with CFDA 15.676.
This notice is not an open solicitation for competitive applications. Instead, it serves only as a public notification that the agency intends to issue a single-source financial assistance award to the Norman Bird Sanctuary. The anticipated project period is approximately three years, and the listed award ceiling is $400,000. Because the award is single-source and the posting is strictly informational, the announcement does not include a standard application deadline and explicitly states that it is "for notification purposes only." The "ExpectedAwards" field is shown as 0, which aligns with the fact that the agency is not seeking additional proposals through this posting.
The eligible applicant category shown in the listing is "Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education." In practice, however, that eligibility information does not function as an invitation for other entities to apply here, since the agency has already identified the intended recipient (Norman Bird Sanctuary) and is not running a competitive process. The opportunity was created on July 8, 2016, and all key details in the notice reinforce that it is a formal transparency step documenting the planned award rather than a call for new project proposals.
