Abstract: Section 8 of the Endangered
Species Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)
authorizes the establishment of the
Wildlife Without Borders—Critically
Endangered Animals Conservation Fund
to fund projects that conserve the
world’s most endangered species.
Critically endangered animals are those
that face an extremely high risk of
extinction in the immediate future. The
Division of International Conservation,
Fish and Wildlife Service, administers
this competitive grants program to
provide funding for conservation
actions that have a high likelihood of
creating durable benefits to specific
species facing immediate threat of
extinction.
Applicants submit proposals for
funding in response to a Notice of
Funding Availability that we publish on
Grants.gov and the program web page.
Applications consist of:
(1) Cover page with basic project
details (FWS Form 3-2338A).
(2) Project summary and narrative.
(3) Letter of appropriate government
endorsement.
(4) Brief curricula vitae for key project
personnel.
(5) Complete Standard Forms 424 and
424b (non-domestic applicants do not
submit the standard forms).
Applications may also include, as
appropriate, a copy of the organization’s
Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement
(NIRCA) and any additional
documentation supporting the proposed
project.
All assistance awards under this
program have a maximum reporting
requirement of a:
(1) Mid-term report (performance
report and a financial status report) due
within 30 days of the conclusion of the
first half of the project period, and
(2) Final report (performance and
financial status report and copies of all
deliverables, photographic
documentation of the project and
products resulting from the project) due
within 90 days of the end of the
performance period.
