Applicants Eligible for this Grant: Nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education
Additional Information on Eligibility: This grant agreement is a continuation of a previously awarded agreement between the USFWS and The Living Desert. It is a single source determination. The activity to be funded is necessary to the satisfactory completion of and is a continuation of an activity presently being funded and for which competition would have a significant adverse effect on the continuity of completion of the activity.
Grant Description: This agreement is being implemented in order to provide financial support to the Living Desert (Desert) in order to fund Mexican Wolf Species Survival Plan (hereinafter referred to as "SSP") activities submitted by participating SSP facilities that are determined to be important in the overall mission of ensuring a healthy, thriving, genetically diverse, captive Mexican wolf population for recovery of the species. This project will benefit the public because through captive breeding, public education, and research, the SSP supports the reestablishment of Mexican wolves in the wild and remains the only source population for reintroduction efforts. This Cooperative Agreement provides a mechanism whereby the Desert serves as the administrator of the funds between the Service and participating Mexican Wolf SSP facilities to fund approved Mexican Wolf SSP activities. It is desirable to administer the funds in this manner in order to prevent the necessity of setting up Agreements with every Mexican Wolf SSP facility, which now numbers more than 45 facilities, 14 of which are in Mexico. The Director of Collections at the Desert also serves as the Mexican Wolf SSP Coordinator and therefore is the liaison between the Service and all participating Mexican Wolf SSP facilities. For this reason, and because of the Desert's historic and long-term association with the Mexican Wolf SSP, the Desert was selected to be the point of contact for this Agreement.
