Opportunity Information: Apply for F18AS00028
The State Wildlife Grant Program - Northeast Region (R5) is a mandatory federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service. It provides financial support to state-level governments (including the District of Columbia, U.S. commonwealths, and territories) to develop and carry out conservation programs that benefit wildlife and the habitats they depend on. A central emphasis of the program is helping states conserve a wide range of species, including those that are not traditionally supported through hunting or fishing-related funding streams.
This funding can be used for two broad types of work: planning and implementation. Planning activities must directly support the development, revision, or improvement of a state’s current Wildlife Action Plan, and that plan must be approved by the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. In practical terms, this means the grant can support the analytical and strategic work needed to assess species and habitat conditions, identify threats, set conservation priorities, and update statewide conservation strategies. Implementation activities, on the other hand, support on-the-ground or programmatic actions that a state proposes in order to execute its approved Wildlife Action Plan. These projects are meant to translate the plan into measurable conservation outcomes for species and habitats.
In deciding how to use these funds, the program expects states to place priority on Species of Greatest Conservation Need. The intent is to steer resources toward the wildlife that most needs attention, particularly where other funding sources may be limited. States are also expected to consider the broader funding landscape when setting priorities, meaning they should account for how much support is already available for certain species and direct State Wildlife Grant funds where they can fill gaps or provide the greatest added conservation benefit.
Certain activities are specifically restricted. Wildlife education and law enforcement are generally ineligible uses of these grant funds. The main exception is when an education or enforcement component is minor or incidental and is clearly critical to the success of an otherwise eligible conservation project. In other words, the core of a funded proposal should be conservation planning or conservation implementation tied to the Wildlife Action Plan, with any education or enforcement elements kept limited and justified as necessary support for achieving the project’s conservation goals.
