This Federal Endangered Species Program grant provides crucial funding to states, commonwealths, and territories for conserving threatened, endangered, and at-risk species. As ‘Traditional Section 6’ funding under the Endangered Species Act, this cooperative arrangement directly supports efforts to protect vulnerable wildlife. Unlike competitive ‘nontraditional’ grants, this opportunity focuses on established Section 6 provisions. Funds are allocated to states based on the number of federally listed and candidate species within their borders, ensuring resources are directed efficiently. This grant is exclusively for state agencies to implement essential conservation strategies aligned with federal mandates.

| Description: | The Endangered Species Program provides Federal funding to the 50 States, Commonwealths, and Territories (State(s)) for the conservation of threatened and endangered species and for species that are at risk of being threatened (i.e., candidates for listing under the ESA). The ESA describes this cooperative funding arrangement in Section 6 of the ESA, thus the term Section 6 grant funding. Furthermore, this funding opportunity is for the â¿¿traditionalâ¿ Section 6 grant funding, not the competitive â¿¿nontraditionalâ¿ grants administered by the Washington Endangered Species office. Funding is available to states according to the number of federal listed and candidate species that are located within the state. |
