About the company
Audubon Nature Institute, Inc., doing business as Audubon Aquarium Of The Americas, is a New Orleans-based tax-exempt nonprofit that acts as a federal grant recipient (68% of recent awards) and sub-recipient on wildlife conservation, marine mammal research, and facility security projects. The organization has no federal contract prime awardees and does not hold a federal contract vehicle; its federal footprint is exclusively grant-funded.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration dominates Audubon's federal customer base, accounting for 11 of 18 awards across 95% of the portfolio. NOAA funding includes a $133,322 Project Grant under the Marine Mammal Data Program (CFDA 11.439) for the Coastal Wildlife Network's marine mammal stranding response, rehabilitation, and data collection operations in Louisiana (Sep 1, 2023 to Dec 31, 2024); a $157,400 Project Grant under the same program to continue capacity building for the Northern Gulf of Mexico Stranding Network (Sep 1, 2022 to Aug 31, 2023); and an $870,000 award (later stated as $435,000 grant amount) under NOAA's Congressionally Identified Awards and Projects program (CFDA 11.469) to upgrade digital radio and emergency communications systems across Audubon facilities in New Orleans, including Audubon Zoo, Audubon Aquarium of the Americas, Woldenberg Riverfront Park, Audubon Louisiana Nature Center, and the Freeport-McMoRan Audubon Species Survival Center (Aug 1, 2022 to Jul 31, 2023). The National Science Foundation Division of Biological Infrastructure awarded a planning grant (Jun 15, 2026) to develop a strategic plan for Audubon's Freeport-McMoRan Species Survival Center, a 1,100-acre complex housing wildlife care, endangered species research, breeding programs, aquatic species propagation, and research training facilities. The Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service and the Department of the Interior Bureau of Ocean Energy Management round out the active grantor set with three and two awards respectively.
Audubon also receives funding as a sub-recipient through the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, which serves as prime grantee on five recent sub-awards focused on sea turtle rehabilitation capacity enhancement, stranding and salvage network support, and cetacean stranding response in Southeast Louisiana (dates ranging from Nov 7, 2023 to Mar 26, 2026). Combined obligated dollars across all prime and sub awards total $8.8 million over the source period. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development issued a Project Grant in Feb 2023 with an ultimate completion date of Aug 31, 2030. One award is scheduled for completion within the next twenty-four months.
