Opportunity Information: Apply for F18AS00030

The Endangered Species Conservation - Recovery Implementation Funds opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F18AS00030) is a discretionary grant program administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service. It falls under the natural resources funding category and is tied to CFDA 15.657. The program is grounded in the legal authorities of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and subsequent amendments passed in 1978 and 1982. In practical terms, this authority supports work that advances recovery-oriented conservation efforts for species listed under the Endangered Species Act, consistent with federal recovery priorities and the implementation actions needed to move species toward improved status.

This specific notice was issued as a Notice of Intent to Single Source to the American Museum of Natural History, meaning the agency indicated its intent to make a non-competitive award to that organization rather than run an open competition among multiple applicants. Even though the broader program category may support a range of recovery implementation activities, the single-source nature of this posting signals that the agency had already identified the intended recipient for this particular award, typically because of unique expertise, capacity, collections, data, prior work, or other justifications that support a direct award.

Eligibility, as stated in the source data, is limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The award instrument is a grant, with an anticipated single award (Expected Awards: 1). The maximum funding amount (Award Ceiling) is $99,000. Key dates show the opportunity was created on November 17, 2017, with an original closing date of November 29, 2017, indicating a short turnaround window consistent with many single-source postings where the scope and applicant are already defined.

Applicants were instructed that submissions must address all activities and stipulations described in Section I (Description of Funding Opportunity) and must follow an application checklist referenced in the Notice of Funding Opportunity. In other words, the submission requirements were compliance-heavy and structured, emphasizing alignment with the specific work plan and conditions laid out by the Fish and Wildlife Service. Overall, this posting represents a targeted federal investment, under Endangered Species Act authority, intended to support implementation work that contributes to the conservation and recovery of imperiled species, delivered through a single, identified nonprofit recipient.
