Opportunity Information: Apply for F22AS00188
The Fiscal Year 2022 Tribal Wildlife Grant (TWG) Program is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to support Tribal wildlife and natural resource work. It is listed under Funding Opportunity Number F22AS00188 and CFDA 15.639, with an activity focus on natural resources. The program provides funding to help Tribes carry out projects that benefit fish and wildlife and related conservation priorities on Tribal lands and in Tribal communities, with awards available up to an award ceiling of $200,000 per grant.
Eligibility is strictly limited to federally recognized Tribal governments that appear on the official Federal Register list of Indian Entities Recognized and Eligible to Receive Services from the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs, as required under the Federally Recognized Indian Tribe List Act of 1994. The notice referenced for eligibility is the Federal Register publication 86 FR 7554 (January 29, 2021), along with a subsequent correction published at 86 FR 18552 (April 9, 2021). While only federally recognized Tribal governments can apply directly, Tribal organizations and other entities are allowed to participate in projects as sub-grantees or contractors when working under an eligible Tribe, meaning Tribes can partner with outside organizations but must remain the official applicant and award recipient.
A central requirement of this funding cycle is that applicant Tribes must be current on all administrative and fiscal reporting for any open TWG grants in order to qualify for new funding. After proposals are received, the Service will notify applicants within five business days if any required reports are missing or overdue. Tribes then have a 30-day window to bring outstanding items into compliance, including performance reports and financial status reports (interim or final, depending on what is late). If a Tribe does not resolve past-due reporting within that 30-day period, its proposal will be deemed ineligible and removed from consideration for the FY 2022 TWG cycle.
The opportunity also includes an additional review step for applicants that already have two or more active TWG projects when they apply for another award. In those cases, the Service will examine why existing grants are still open and confirm there are no correctable implementation problems before moving forward with the new application. Tribes with a track record of effectively using TWG funds are not expected to be negatively impacted by this check. However, if the Service determines that a Tribe has taken no significant action on any one of its two or more existing awards, the Tribe will not be considered eligible for additional TWG funding until the issue is resolved. The notice describes several ways to resolve this, such as documenting real progress on the inactive project, correcting any misunderstanding if the “no action” characterization is inaccurate, or canceling the inactive grant so that the obligated funds can be recovered and made available for other Tribes in a future grant cycle.
Key logistical details in the listing include a creation date of February 14, 2022, and an original closing date of June 24, 2022. The funding instrument is a grant, the opportunity category is discretionary, and the eligible applicant type is federally recognized Native American Tribal governments.Apply for F22AS00188
