R1 State Wildlife Grants Formula - For State Fish & Wildlife Agencies Only: The State Wildlife Grant (SWG) Program provides States, the District of Columbia, Commonwealths, and Territories (States) Federal grant funds for the development and implementation of programs for the benefit of wildlife and their habitats, including species that are not hunted or fished. Eligible activities include both conservation planning and implementation activities. Conservation planning activities must contribute directly to the development or modification of your current Wildlife Action Plan (Plan) approved by the Director of the Service. Implementation activities are those that you intend to carry out to execute your Plan. SWG Program funds must benefit species of greatest conservation need (SGCN) identified in your Plan, and when prioritizing use of these funds you should take into consideration the relative level of funding available for the conservation of those species. As directed by Congress, the Service encourages you to prioritize funding for conservation of species listed or considered for listing under the Endangered Species Act (ESA)¿including candidate, threatened, and endangered species¿when such species are identified in your Plan and when directing SWG Program funds for their conservation is consistent with your priorities and operations. Ineligible activities include wildlife education and law enforcement activities, unless the activity is minor or incidental and is considered critical to the success of a project.
