Opportunity Information: Apply for F18AS00178
The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation - Sustain Our Great Lakes Program (Funding Opportunity Number F18AS00178) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service grant action that supports conservation work across the Great Lakes basin through the Sustain Our Great Lakes partnership. The program is designed to sustain, restore, and protect fish, wildlife, and habitat by pooling public and private resources, strengthening on-the-ground conservation capacity, and coordinating partners around priority ecological problems in the region. In practical terms, it functions as a grant-making and partnership platform that helps direct funding and expertise to Great Lakes habitat and wildlife needs, rather than a typical open, competitive grant program for outside applicants.
This opportunity is structured as a single-source award to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) and is not open for applications. The notice is explicitly a notice of intent to award without competition under justification 505DM 2.14.B.4, meaning the agency is documenting that a competitive process is not feasible or appropriate in this case. The rationale provided is that NFWF has a congressionally formalized relationship with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, has specific region-focused grant-making expertise, and has already led and administered the Sustain Our Great Lakes program for more than eight years. Because of that combination of statutory relationship, proven track record, and specialized capacity, the agency states that NFWF is uniquely qualified to administer the program and that competition is not practical.
The program itself is described as a public-private partnership involving Arcelor Mittal and multiple federal partners: the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S.D.A. Forest Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), with NFWF serving as the central grant administrator. The grant is tied to the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) and is supported by GLRI fiscal year 2018 funds that were allocated to the Fish and Wildlife Service by the EPA Great Lakes National Program Office. In other words, the funding originates within the GLRI framework and is being implemented through a partnership model where NFWF manages the program delivery, including making and overseeing subawards or projects aligned with Great Lakes restoration goals.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant within the Natural Resources activity area (CFDA 15.662). The agency is the Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service. The posting indicates an award ceiling of $9,461,000 and anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1), consistent with the single-source intent. The notice was created on June 20, 2018, with an original closing date of June 27, 2018, but that date functions more as a public notice timeline rather than an application deadline, since the listing states there is no application process.
In summary, this listing is best understood as a formal public notice that the Fish and Wildlife Service plans to fund NFWF to administer the Sustain Our Great Lakes Program under GLRI FY 2018 support. It is not a competitive funding opportunity for other organizations to apply to directly; instead, it confirms that NFWF will receive the grant to continue running the partnership-based restoration and conservation grantmaking effort across the Great Lakes basin.Apply for F18AS00178
