Competitive State Wildlife Grant Program: The Competitive State Wildlife Grant (C-SWG) Program provides States, the District of Columbia, Commonwealths, territories (States) and Associations of State fish and wildlife agencies with Federal grant funds to develop and implement programs for the benefit of wildlife and their habitats, including species that are not hunted or fished. Priority for use of these funds must be placed on identified species of greatest conservation need and should take into consideration the relative level of funding available for the conservation of these species. Ineligible activities include wildlife education and law enforcement activities, unless the law enforcement or education component is a minor or incidental activity that is considered critical to the success of a project. Although planning projects may receive C-SWG Program funding, the Service explicitly favors proactive physical conservation strategies that can demonstrate measurable impacts on populations of imperiled species through this Program. Such active conservation projects are typically more likely to be competitive, based on criteria published in the Notice of Funding Opportunity, than projects that do not have the potential to directly impact species or their habitats within the period of performance.
