Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00114
The African Elephant Conservation Fund is a discretionary funding opportunity run by the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), through its International Affairs Program. The program is built around the USFWS mission to conserve and protect wildlife and habitats, and it focuses its overseas conservation investments on strategic projects that can show clear, measurable results for priority species. In this case, the priority species is the African elephant (Loxodonta africana), and the fund is seeking proposals that directly support the long-term conservation of elephant populations and the landscapes they depend on.
This funding stream exists because of the African Elephant Conservation Act, passed by Congress in 1988 in response to steep declines in African elephant numbers. The Act established the African Elephant Conservation Fund specifically to provide financial assistance for projects that strengthen sustainable conservation programs. In practical terms, the opportunity is meant to back efforts that move beyond short-term actions and instead help build durable, effective conservation systems that can protect elephants over time.
Awards are offered through either grants or cooperative agreements, meaning some projects may involve closer collaboration with the agency depending on the agreement type and project needs. The opportunity falls under activity areas that include environment, natural resources, and education, and it is listed under CFDA number 15.620. The eligibility is described as unrestricted, indicating that a wide range of applicant types may apply, as long as they meet any additional eligibility conditions that may be clarified in the full notice.
For this specific notice (Funding Opportunity Number F19AS00114), the application deadline was March 25, 2019, with complete applications due by 11:59 pm EDT. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) was $250,000, and the agency anticipated making around 40 awards. Overall, the opportunity is geared toward supporting a portfolio of multiple projects rather than a small number of very large awards, with an emphasis on tangible conservation outcomes that contribute to effective, long-term protection of African elephants.Apply for F19AS00114
