Opportunity Information: Apply for F22AS00016
The NAWCA 2022 Canada Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F22AS00016) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.623 that supports wetland conservation projects in Canada through strong, multi-partner collaboration. The program is designed to bring together public agencies and other interested groups to protect, improve, restore, and manage wetlands and related habitats that are important to migratory birds and other wildlife across North America. A central theme is building durable partnerships and demonstrating that the work proposed will lead to sustainable, effective conservation outcomes over the long term, not just short-term habitat improvements.
The conservation goals focus on three connected outcomes: keeping a healthy and diverse distribution of wetland ecosystems and associated habitats; maintaining and improving the current ranges and distributions of wetland-associated migratory bird populations; and sustaining abundant populations of waterfowl (ducks, geese, and swans) along with other wetland-dependent migratory birds. Projects are expected to align with major continental bird conservation strategies and commitments, including the North American Waterfowl Management Plan, the U.S. Shorebird Conservation Plan, the Waterbird Conservation Plan for the Americas, the Partners in Flight Bird Conservation Plan, and related international obligations found in treaties, migratory bird conventions, and agreements involving Canada, Mexico, and other countries.
Funding supports two main types of on-the-ground conservation work. First, NAWCA can fund the acquisition of property that contains wetland ecosystems and associated habitats, which can include the purchase or securing of water rights when relevant. The key condition is that acquired lands will be administered for long-term conservation specifically for the benefit of migratory birds, fish, and other wildlife that rely on those habitats. Second, NAWCA can fund restoration, enhancement, or management activities on wetlands and associated habitats, again with the requirement that the lands and waters involved are managed under a long-term conservation framework. In practice, this means proposals should show how the site will remain conserved and managed over time, so that habitat gains are protected and maintained.
The opportunity also emphasizes broader environmental and policy benefits. NAWCA Canada proposals are framed as contributing to efforts that reduce climate pollution, strengthen climate resilience, and advance land conservation and biodiversity objectives. Another major expectation is leveraging partnerships, meaning projects should show how multiple organizations are coordinating resources, expertise, and long-term stewardship to achieve results at a meaningful scale.
Eligible applicants are listed as unrestricted, indicating a wide range of entities may apply as long as they can meet program expectations and partnership requirements. The award ceiling is up to $10,000,000 per award. The original closing date for this opportunity was 2021-08-27, and the funding instrument is a grant. Overall, this program is aimed at large, collaborative wetland conservation efforts in Canada that deliver lasting habitat protection and improvement for migratory birds while supporting wider climate and biodiversity priorities.Apply for F22AS00016
