The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Midwest Region (Region 3) offers its Challenge Cost Share (CCS) program to support natural resource management initiatives across eight states: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri. This grant is specifically for projects emphasizing the inventory and control of invasive species, habitat restoration, and conservation outreach. Successful applicants must partner with a USFWS field office, such as a National Wildlife Refuge or Wetland Management District, ensuring shared conservation goals. A key requirement is that at least 50% of project costs must be covered by non-federal resources, with funding secured before any CCS funds are expended. Proposals are developed collaboratively with and submitted by the partnering USFWS office, benefiting National Wildlife Refuge System programs.
