About this opportunity
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) is seeking grant applications from state governments for the Fiscal Year 2025 Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund Traditional Conservation Grants Program in Region 2 (Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas). The principal objective is to support the development and implementation of state programs focused on conserving and recovering threatened and endangered species under FWS jurisdiction. Eligible projects can include management, research, monitoring, and outreach activities that directly benefit federally listed species, candidate species, and recently delisted species. Applications will be evaluated based on criteria such as species listing status, implementation of recovery actions, technical merit, relevance to program goals, and cost-effectiveness. The application deadline is October 20, 2025, with anticipated project start and end dates of October 20, 2025, and October 20, 2028, respectively.
The total estimated funding for this grant opportunity is $1,428,564, with approximately 10 awards anticipated ranging from $1,000 to $1,428,564 per grant. Applicants are required to provide a 25% non-Federal cost share, which can be reduced to 10% for multi-state collaborations. The grants will support conservation efforts specifically within Region 2, covering the states of Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. Projects must demonstrate a clear and direct benefit to endangered species or their habitats, with a focus on preventing the need to list additional species under the Endangered Species Act.
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.
