About this opportunity
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking grant applications from state governments for the Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund Traditional Conservation Grants Program in Region 1. The principal objective is to support the development and implementation of state programs focused on conserving and recovering threatened and endangered species. Eligible projects can include management, research, monitoring, and outreach activities that demonstrate direct benefits to federally listed, candidate, and recently delisted species. Applications will be evaluated based on four primary criteria: species listing status, program goals alignment, technical/scientific merit, and project costs. Applicants must submit their proposals through GrantSolutions.gov by September 19, 2025, with a required project narrative addressing species listing status, program relevance, technical merit, and cost details.
The total estimated program funding is $4,525,074, with an expected 40 awards ranging from $1,000 to $4,525,074. The grant covers states and territories including Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, American Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands, and Guam, with funding allocation percentages varying by state/territory. The anticipated project start date is September 30, 2025, with a project performance period ending on September 30, 2028. Successful applicants will focus on conservation efforts for species listed in the attached FY 2025 Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund Eligible Unlisted Species List, which includes 249 species across various taxonomic groups.
Synopsis
The principal objective of the Traditional Conservation Grant Program is to support the development and implementation of State and Territorial (hereafter, "State") programs to conserve and recover threatened and endangered species under FWS 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 eligible unlisted 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, eligible unlisted, 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 (ESA). Successful applications will be those that clearly demonstrate a direct benefit to the species or its habitat.
