About this opportunity
This federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service seeks applicants to carry out projects that support the goals of the North American Wetlands Conservation Act. Applicants must propose projects that will result in the long-term protection, restoration, enhancement or establishment of wetland and associated upland habitats to benefit migratory bird populations. Proposals will be evaluated based on the species and habitat benefits, partnerships involved, and whether the project ensures public access. Applicants must submit proposals by February 23, 2024 and the program requires a 1:1 non-federal match.
The total estimated available funding for this program is $50 million, with a maximum award amount of $3 million per project. Successful proposals will fund work performed in the United States to conserve wetlands and associated habitats through partnerships between public and private organizations. Projects are expected to provide benefits for at least 10 years following completion of work funded through this grant program.
Synopsis
The U.S. Standard Grants Program is a competitive, matching grant program that supports public-private partnerships carrying out projects in the United States that further the goals of the North American Wetlands Conservation Act. The program promotes partnerships projects that must involve a) only long-term protection, restoration, enhancement and/or establishment of wetland and associated upland habitats to benefit diversity of wetland ecosystems and b) maintaining an abundance of waterfowl (ducks, geese, and swans) and other populations of wetlands-associated migratory birds consistent with the objectives of the North American Waterfowl Management Plan, U.S. Shorebird Conservation Plan, Waterbird Conservation Plan for the Americas, and Partners in Flight Bird Conservation Plan. The program requires a 1:1 non-federal match and research funding is ineligible. This program supports the Department of Interior and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service mission of protecting and managing the nation's natural resources by collaborating with partners and stakeholders to conserve land and water and to expand outdoor recreation and access. Also, this program contributes to efforts to reduce climate pollution, support climate resilience, support land conservation and biodiversity efforts and leverage partnerships.
