Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00343
The Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F19AS00343) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to support work that helps conserve, manage, and restore fish and wildlife resources and their habitats. The assistance is offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically means FWS expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, coordination on technical approaches, review of deliverables, participation in planning or implementation decisions, and alignment with agency priorities). The program sits in the natural resources funding category under CFDA 15.608 and is grounded in a broad set of federal statutes that collectively authorize FWS to provide technical and financial assistance for fish and wildlife conservation, habitat protection, invasive species prevention and control, and related restoration and management actions.
This particular notice was issued as a "Notice of Intent to Single Source" to the Altar Valley Conservation Alliance, indicating FWS planned to make a non-competitive award to a specific organization rather than run a fully open competition. Even though it identifies a single-source intent, any submission still had to follow the Notice of Funding Opportunity requirements, including addressing all activities and stipulations described in the Program Description and meeting the items listed on the Application Checklist. The eligible applicant types listed for this opportunity include state governments and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but the single-source language signals that, in practice, the award was intended for the named organization.
In terms of scale and timing, the announcement was created on August 21, 2019, with an original closing date of August 27, 2019, reflecting a very short application window consistent with many single-source notices. The anticipated funding amount was up to an award ceiling of $500,000, with one expected award. Because it is a cooperative agreement and not a simple grant, applicants would generally need to demonstrate not only the merits of the proposed conservation work but also the capacity to coordinate closely with FWS and comply with federal assistance terms, reporting expectations, and programmatic conditions.
The legal authorities cited in the announcement illustrate the kinds of activities that can fit under this umbrella. These include long-standing fish and wildlife conservation and coordination authorities (such as the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act and the Fish and Wildlife Act), land and resource management authorities relevant to military installations (the Sikes Act), Alaska-specific conservation direction (the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act), authorities related to preventing and managing nonindigenous aquatic nuisance species, wildlife protection and enforcement tools (the Lacey Act), Great Lakes restoration authorities, and more recent infrastructure and water-related restoration and improvement authority (the WIIN Act). Taken together, these statutes support a wide variety of on-the-ground conservation, habitat improvement, planning, and coordination efforts, particularly those that require collaboration among federal agencies, states, and nonprofit conservation partners.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as targeted federal financial assistance for a specific, FWS-coordinated conservation project under the Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance program, with up to $500,000 available for a single cooperative agreement and with clear expectations that the recipient would follow the NOFO program description, satisfy all checklist requirements, and work in close partnership with the Fish and Wildlife Service throughout the project.Apply for F19AS00343
