Eligible applicants are state governments that have entered into cooperative agreements with the Service pursuant to the Endangered Species Act. Successful applicants must propose projects that directly benefit federally listed, candidate, at-risk, or recently delisted resident species. Applications will be evaluated based on the species' listing status, implementation of recovery plan actions, technical merit, and budget details. Approximately $960,917 is available and will be awarded to fund eligible projects completed by September 30, 2025. Awards are expected to range from $50,000 to $500,000 and will support work in 20 states across Region 5. Applications are due by April 1, 2024 and award announcements will be made by July 31, 2024.

This notice of funding opportunity through the Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service seeks to support the development and implementation of state programs to conserve and recover threatened and endangered species under the Service's jurisdiction. States that have entered into cooperative agreements with the Service pursuant to the Endangered Species Act are eligible to apply. Financial assistance in the form of grants can be used to support projects with direct benefits for federally listed species, candidate and at-risk species, and recently delisted species.

Synopsis

The principle objective of the Traditional Conservation Grant Program is to support the development and implementation of States' programs to conserve and recover threated and endangered species under the Service's jurisdiction. Financial assistance, provided in the form of grants, can be used to support projects that have direct benefits for federally listed species, candidate and at-risk species, and recently delisted species. States may apply for funding to conduct conservation work on federally-listed resident species that are included in the State's cooperative agreement. States may also apply for funding to monitor candidate, at-risk, and recently delisted species. Projects proposed for funding may involve management, research, monitoring, and outreach activities or any combination thereof. Applications should include clear and specific information about how the proposed work would contribute to species recovery or prevent the need to list a species under the Endangered Species Act. Successful applications will be those that clearly demonstrate a direct benefit to the species or its habitat.
