FY2025 GLFWRA Budget Sheets Final.xlsx

This document is a budget template for the FY2025 Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife Restoration Act (GLFWRA) grant program, along with information about the related federal grant opportunity.

The GLFWRA grant program, funded in part by the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, expects to award approximately $1.64 million in FY2025. Restoration and research proposals can receive between $10,000 and $250,000, while Regional Project proposals can receive between $200,000 and $500,000. The budget template provides a format to submit detailed budgets for each proposal year, including salaries, maintenance and operations, equipment, and indirect costs. Non-federal match budgets are also required. Successful applicants will be awarded grants or cooperative agreements, with funding made available once the award letter is received. Continuation proposals from previous years will be considered as new proposals. The two-page pre-proposals and full proposals will be evaluated and ranked by the Proposal Review Committee based on the GLFWRA Review Criteria, with final approval by the Service's Midwest Region 3 Regional Director.
