Opportunity Information: Apply for F25AS00289
The FY 2025 Traditional Conservation Grants Program (F25AS00289) supports state and territorial agencies in conserving and recovering species listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), as well as candidate, eligible unlisted, and recently delisted species. Administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) Region 2, the program provides financial assistance for voluntary, non-regulatory conservation projects with direct benefits to listed species or their habitats.
Eligible applicants are state agencies with existing or soon-to-be-established cooperative agreements under Section 6(c) of the ESA. While funding can only be granted to states, local entities or organizations can partner with them as subgrantees.
Projects may include research, monitoring, habitat management, or outreach, and must align with recovery plans or conservation strategies. Projects cannot be used to meet federal regulatory obligations (e.g., ESA Section 7 or 10 mitigation) or regulatory requirements under other laws.
Activities such as capturing, transporting, or relocating wildlife may require permits and environmental assessments. Administrative costs may be included if compliant with federal regulations, and pre-award costs may be reimbursed if specifically approved. Land acquisition is not eligible under this grant.
Successful proposals will clearly describe how the work benefits species recovery or helps prevent future ESA listings. Both new and ongoing (continuation) projects are eligible, with continuation proposals requiring a summary of past accomplishments.Apply for F25AS00289
