Opportunity Information: Apply for F17AS00076
The Migratory Bird Joint Venture (CFDA 15.637) grant opportunity is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service funding program under the Department of the Interior focused on conserving migratory birds by protecting, restoring, and enhancing the habitats they depend on. The core purpose is to support on-the-ground and related conservation work in wetland and upland ecosystems, recognizing that migratory bird populations rely on healthy habitat networks across breeding, migration, and wintering areas. In practical terms, projects funded under this opportunity are aimed at improving habitat conditions and conservation outcomes for migratory bird species by maintaining or rebuilding ecosystem functions that support feeding, nesting, and stopover needs.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which typically means the Fish and Wildlife Service expects to have substantial involvement during the project period. Cooperative agreements often include coordination on technical approach, monitoring, reporting, or alignment with broader Joint Venture priorities and strategies. The opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources and also Science and Technology and other Research and Development, signaling that proposals may include not only habitat work but also planning, applied science, monitoring, assessment, or other supporting activities that strengthen conservation delivery, as long as they directly serve the habitat and migratory bird conservation objectives.
Funding authority for the program is grounded in longstanding federal wildlife conservation statutes, specifically the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956 (16 U.S.C. 742a-754, as amended) and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (16 U.S.C. 709a). These laws provide the legal framework for federal involvement in migratory bird conservation and habitat protection, and they underpin the government interest in supporting partnerships that produce measurable conservation benefits.
Eligibility for applicants is limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status recognized by the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. That structure indicates the program is intended to channel funds through charitable conservation organizations and similar nonprofits capable of implementing habitat projects and partnering with agencies or other stakeholders. The award information provided for this specific opportunity indicates a single expected award with a maximum (ceiling) amount of $300,000, suggesting a targeted, competitive selection for one project rather than a broad multi-award solicitation.
Key administrative details for this posting include the funding opportunity number F17AS00076, an original posting (creation) date of December 19, 2016, and an original closing date of December 29, 2016, indicating a short application window for that cycle. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a focused cooperative agreement intended to fund a nonprofit-led conservation project aligned with Migratory Bird Joint Venture priorities, with the primary goal of delivering tangible habitat protection, restoration, and enhancement outcomes that benefit migratory birds.Apply for F17AS00076
