How to apply for U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service grants

Most U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service applications require: an organizational profile with mission and programs, a project proposal aligned with the funder's stated priorities, a project budget, and supporting attachments (IRS determination letter, board list, recent financials). Federal applicants additionally need a SAM.gov UEI and an active Grants.gov account.
