Applicants may not participate in more than two projects annually. Separate chapters or units of statewide organizations are considered as separate applicants. Two or more local agencies may form a partnership to conduct a project. We have found that contract administration, permitting, and fund management are better facilitated when a county or municipality is the lead agency. Federal dollars cannot be used as a local funding source nor can donated labor from a federal agency be used for match.
Many technical questions arise with the development of each unique project.
Applications in each DOW region will be evaluated and ranked by staff. During this review period, applicants may be contacted to explain, revise, or expand their application. Regional Coordinators will be present and your local District Wildlife Manager who helped you fill out your application should be invited to join you. Applications undergo a lengthy review process in the DOW Regions and in Denver. Sponsors may be contacted during this time for more information.
