About this program
The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service administers the Conservation Grants Private Stewardship for Imperiled Species program (CFDA 15.632), which funds conservation activities on private lands for species listed or proposed as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act, candidate species, or other at-risk species; the most recent grant award was dated August 18, 2014.
This program has entered a dormant state. No grant awards have been disbursed since August 2014—over twelve years ago. The award cadence collapsed dramatically in recent years: the program issued 97 awards in 2007, then 37 in 2008, 26 in 2009, 4 in 2010, and only 1 award in 2014. The portfolio spans 525 total awards dating back to October 1999, with combined federal dollars obligated of $42.6 million and combined total obligated (federal plus non-federal cost-share) of $46.3 million. The program operates entirely under the Fish and Wildlife Service—no other federal agencies fund under this listing.
Funded activities include habitat restoration, stream corridor improvement, species surveys and monitoring, riparian zone creation, wetland enhancement, and population genetics research. Recent representative awards include stream and riparian habitat restoration for endangered species in Kentucky ($715,600), an economic and ecological feasibility study of wetlands ($213,430), and riparian restoration in the Coosa Basin, Georgia ($107,385). Awards also supported monitoring efforts for sea turtles, gopher tortoises, Indiana bats, Louisiana black bears, and mussel population research. Individual awards typically range from under $10,000 to roughly $200,000, though a small number exceeded $500,000.
The assistance-type mix is predominantly Project Grants (518 of 525 awards, 99 percent), with only seven Cooperative Agreements (1 percent). No recent grant opportunities are currently posted. The source provides no indication of when or whether the program will reopen.
