Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00007
The R8 (CA/NV) Wildlife Restoration Grant Program for State Fish and Game Agencies (Funding Opportunity Number F19AS00007) is a mandatory federal grant program administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service. It is designed to provide Wildlife Restoration funding to state-level fish and wildlife agencies and related state government entities, with the Region 8 focus covering California and Nevada. The program operates under CFDA number 15.611 and supports a broad range of activities intended to conserve and enhance wildlife resources and the habitats they depend on.
At its core, this opportunity funds practical, on-the-ground wildlife conservation work as well as the planning and research needed to support long-term management. Supported project types include the selection, restoration, rehabilitation, and improvement of wildlife habitat, along with wildlife management research. The program also funds wildlife population surveys and inventories, which can include efforts to monitor species status, distribution, abundance, and trends, helping agencies make informed decisions and measure the outcomes of management actions. In addition, funds may be used for land acquisition when it is tied to wildlife restoration purposes, allowing states to secure key areas for habitat protection, restoration, access, or other conservation objectives.
A major component of the program is hunter education and safety. Funding can support hunter education and safety programs, including coordination, development, and delivery of training. The opportunity also allows for the development of facilities and for providing facilities and services used to conduct hunter education and safety programs. Beyond education infrastructure, the program can also support provisions for public use of wildlife resources, reflecting a broader goal of ensuring the public can safely and responsibly access and benefit from wildlife-related recreation and conservation outcomes.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, reflecting the program structure as a federal-to-state funding mechanism rather than a competitive public grant open to nonprofits, universities, or local governments. The listing shows an award ceiling of up to $5,000,000. The opportunity record indicates an expected awards value of 0, which typically suggests awards are determined through formula allocations, administrative processes, or rolling state submissions rather than a conventional competitive cycle with a fixed number of awards. The opportunity was created on October 11, 2018, and the original closing date is listed as August 30, 2020, which signals it may have been tied to a particular grant cycle or posting window even though the underlying program is ongoing as a federal funding authority.
In practical terms, this grant opportunity is best understood as a key federal funding stream that helps state wildlife agencies pay for habitat and wildlife management work, scientific monitoring and research, strategic land actions, and the training and facilities needed to support hunter education and safe public participation in wildlife-related activities.Apply for F19AS00007
