Abstract: Section 8 of the Endangered 

Species Act (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) 

authorizes the establishment of the 

Wildlife Without Borders—Critically 

Endangered Animals Conservation Fund 

to fund projects that conserve the 

world’s most endangered species. 

Critically endangered animals are those 

that face an extremely high risk of 

extinction in the immediate future. The 

Division of International Conservation, 

Fish and Wildlife Service, administers 

this competitive grants program to 

provide funding for conservation 

actions that have a high likelihood of 

creating durable benefits to specific 

species facing immediate threat of 

extinction. 

Applicants submit proposals for 

funding in response to a Notice of 

Funding Availability that we publish on 

Grants.gov and the program web page. 

Applications consist of: 

(1) Cover page with basic project 

details (FWS Form 3-2338A). 

(2) Project summary and narrative. 

(3) Letter of appropriate government 

endorsement. 

(4) Brief curricula vitae for key project 

personnel. 

(5) Complete Standard Forms 424 and 

424b (non-domestic applicants do not 

submit the standard forms). 

Applications may also include, as 

appropriate, a copy of the organization’s 

Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement 

(NIRCA) and any additional 

documentation supporting the proposed 

project. 

All assistance awards under this 

program have a maximum reporting 

requirement of a: 

(1) Mid-term report (performance 

report and a financial status report) due 

within 30 days of the conclusion of the 

first half of the project period, and 

(2) Final report (performance and 

financial status report and copies of all 

deliverables, photographic 

documentation of the project and 

products resulting from the project) due 

within 90 days of the end of the 

performance period.
