This grant program, offered by the Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund, provides crucial financial assistance to support States in developing and implementing programs for the conservation and recovery of federally threatened and endangered species. Specifically, this grant is designed to fund projects that directly benefit federally listed, candidate, at-risk, and recently delisted species. Eligible activities include vital conservation work such as management, research, monitoring, and outreach. States holding cooperative agreements are invited to apply for funding. Applications must clearly articulate how the proposed work will significantly contribute to species recovery efforts or proactively prevent the need for species to be listed under the Endangered Species Act. Projects demonstrating clear, direct benefits to species or their habitats are highly encouraged.
