Opportunity Information: Apply for F25AS00286
The FY 2025 Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund Traditional Conservation Grants Program (Region 5), under opportunity number F25AS00286, provides funding to state and territorial agencies with cooperative agreements under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) to support conservation and recovery efforts for federally listed, candidate, eligible unlisted, and recently delisted species.
These grants aim to support voluntary, non-regulatory projects that help protect threatened and endangered species and their habitats. Eligible projects may include activities such as species management, research, population monitoring, and public outreach, as long as they directly benefit species recovery or reduce the need for future ESA listings. All proposed projects must align with approved or draft species recovery plans and must not conflict with them.
Only state agencies with active Section 6 agreements—or those that renew or establish one within 30 days of the application deadline—are eligible to apply. While only these agencies can receive funds directly, they may collaborate with local agencies or conservation groups as subgrantees.
Permits and environmental assessments may be required for specific project actions such as species relocation, captivity over extended periods, or work outside of the species’ historical range.
Federal and associated matching funds from this grant cannot be used to meet mandatory mitigation or regulatory requirements under ESA, the Clean Water Act, or other federal regulations. Administrative and pre-award costs are reimbursable only when compliant with federal cost principles and approved in writing by the awarding agency.
Land acquisition is not an eligible activity under this program. Both new and continuing conservation efforts may be submitted, though continuation projects must summarize previous accomplishments and justify their extension.Apply for F25AS00286
