About this opportunity
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is offering the Multistate Conservation Grant Program, which provides funding for wildlife restoration and sport fish restoration projects, as well as recruitment, retention and reactivation (R3) projects that address regional or national priority needs of state fish and wildlife agencies and their partners. The program has two funding categories: Traditional Multistate Conservation Grants (T-MSCG) and R3 Multistate Conservation Grants (R3-MSCG). Eligible applicants include state governments, public/state higher education institutions, and 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) nonprofits. Proposals must address at least one of the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies' annual Strategic Priorities. The application process has two phases, with an initial Grant Proposal due by June 7, 2024, followed by a Complete Grant Application due at a later date.
The total available funding is estimated at $11 million, with up to $6 million for T-MSCG projects and up to $5 million for R3-MSCG projects. The maximum award amount is $1 million, and the expected award amount is $250,000. Awards are anticipated to be announced in January 2025.
Synopsis
Multistate Conservation Grants are authorized under 16 U.S.C. 669h-2 and 16 U.S.C. 777m, providing funding for wildlife restoration and sport fish restoration projects and recruitment, retention and reactivation (R3) projects that address regional or national priority needs of State fish and wildlife agencies and their partners that are beyond the scale, scope, and capabilities of a single State. The priority needs, also known as Strategic Priorities, are identified annually by the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (AFWA) with input from State fish and wildlife agencies and their partners. Recipients awarded Traditional Multistate Conservation Grants (T-MSCG) may use the funds for wildlife or sport fish projects involving research, restoration, conservation and management of wild birds, wild mammals, sport fish, and their habitats. These funds may also be used for projects providing for public use and benefit from these resources, including hunter safety and education, aquatic education, angler R3 projects and other purposes consistent with the enabling legislation. Recipients awarded under R3 Multistate Conservation Grants (R3-MSCG) can only use the funds for hunter recruitment and recreational shooter recruitment projects that promote a national hunting and shooting sport recruitment program, including related communication and outreach activities.
