Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00376
The Migratory Birds Joint Ventures: Youth Engagement, Education and Employment opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F19AS00376) is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), specifically the Division of Migratory Birds and the Sonoran Joint Venture. It is set up as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the selected recipient should expect an active working relationship with the agency during project implementation rather than a hands-off grant arrangement. The program sits within the environment funding activity area (CFDA 15.676) and is aimed at supporting work connected to migratory bird conservation through youth-focused engagement.
In practical terms, the opportunity is designed to fund a project that combines youth engagement, education, and employment in ways that align with the Sonoran Joint Venture mission and migratory bird conservation priorities. While the short public listing does not provide detailed project requirements, the title and administering office strongly indicate that the agency is looking for on-the-ground, youth-centered conservation activities that both build conservation awareness and provide meaningful workforce development experiences. Projects under similar joint venture and migratory bird frameworks often involve hands-on habitat work, restoration or monitoring activities, outreach and education events, and structured learning or job training that helps young people gain real skills while contributing to conservation outcomes.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. That means the intended applicants are charitable nonprofits such as conservation groups, youth development organizations, community-based organizations, or similar entities that can run youth programs and manage federal assistance awards. The funding instrument being a cooperative agreement may also imply the need for a strong implementation plan, clear deliverables, and coordination with FWS staff or Sonoran Joint Venture partners during the project.
The total available funding is modest and targeted: the award ceiling is $30,000, and only one award is expected. This suggests the agency intends to support a single, focused project rather than a broad multi-site initiative. The timeline in the listing indicates it was created on September 9, 2019, with an original closing date of September 14, 2019, reflecting a very short application window at the time of posting, which is consistent with some small, time-sensitive joint venture or partner-driven opportunities.
Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as a small, partnership-oriented conservation award meant to connect youth to migratory bird conservation in the Sonoran Joint Venture context, using education and paid or career-building experiences to develop the next generation of conservation participants while delivering tangible environmental benefits.Apply for F19AS00376
