Opportunity Information: Apply for F17AS00434
The Endangered Species Conservation, Recovery Implementation Funds opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F17AS00434) is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.657. It is grounded in the authority of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and subsequent amendments passed in 1978 and 1982. In practical terms, the program is meant to support on-the-ground work that advances conservation and recovery efforts for species protected under the Endangered Species Act, using cooperative agreements as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement typically signals that the agency expects to stay substantially involved during the project period, rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back.
This particular posting is not a broad, open competition. It is explicitly described as a Notice of Intent to Sole Source an award to the Friends of Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge. That means the agency is indicating its plan to make a single award to that specific organization rather than soliciting proposals from multiple applicants. While the eligibility category listed is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the sole-source nature of the notice makes clear that the anticipated recipient is predetermined for this action. The opportunity anticipates one award, with an award ceiling of $500,000.
The timeline in the source data reflects the administrative posting window rather than a typical competitive cycle: it was created on August 29, 2017, with an original closing date of September 5, 2017. The notice also states that applications must address all activities and stipulations laid out in Section 1, the Description of Funding Opportunity, and must follow the Application Checklist included in the Notice of Funding Opportunity. In other words, even though the award is intended to be sole-sourced, the recipient is still expected to submit a complete application package that directly responds to the required scope, tasks, and conditions established by the Fish and Wildlife Service.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as targeted federal support for Endangered Species Act recovery implementation work associated with Laguna Atascosa NWR and its partner nonprofit, structured as a cooperative agreement with up to $500,000 available for one project, and justified under longstanding statutory authorities for conserving and recovering threatened and endangered species.Apply for F17AS00434
