Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS KS CCGA 20 GEN0010791
The Conservation Collaboration Grants opportunity is a Kansas-focused funding program offered by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Its purpose is to support projects that make better use of NRCS resources while tackling local natural resource concerns in Kansas. A major emphasis is placed on partnership-driven conservation work, building collaboration among organizations and communities, and strengthening conservation leadership at both the state and community level. The program anticipates awarding competitive grants or agreements to help groups work together on practical conservation solutions that fit Kansas needs.
For fiscal year 2020, NRCS indicates that up to $4 million total may be available across projects, with the specific projects and priorities referenced in the full announcement (not included in the excerpt). Individual awards can be as large as $2,500,000, and the agency expects roughly 10 awards. Projects are designed to be relatively short to mid-term efforts, with proposed periods of performance ranging from 1 to 3 years, which makes the opportunity suitable for initiatives that can show measurable progress within that timeframe.
Eligibility is broad and includes multiple levels of government and nonprofit partners. Applicants may include city or township governments, county governments, special district governments, and state governments, as well as Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and other tribal organizations. Nonprofit organizations are eligible whether or not they hold 501(c)(3) status, as long as they are not institutions of higher education. The full listing also indicates that public and state-controlled institutions of higher education can apply, reflecting the program's interest in bringing together research capacity, local implementation partners, and public agencies when it strengthens conservation outcomes.
Applications had to be submitted through Grants.gov by 11:59 pm Eastern Time on May 31, 2020. NRCS notes that its staff cannot assist with Grants.gov account or technical troubleshooting; applicants are directed instead to Grants.gov Applicant Support at 1-800-518-4726 or support@grants.gov for any platform-related issues. While the submission deadline is fixed, the review approach described is rolling in the sense that Kansas NRCS scores proposals as they are received, and eligible proposals are added to a ranking list used for funding decisions. Final selections are made by the State Conservationist.
All required standard application forms are provided within the Grants.gov opportunity package. For applicants who need paper copies of the materials, NRCS provided a point of contact: Gaye L. Benfer, Assistant State Conservationist for Management and Strategy, reachable at 785-823-4508 or via email at gaye.benfer@usda.gov. The opportunity is listed as discretionary funding, using the grant instrument type, and is associated with CFDA numbers 10.069, 10.902, 10.912, 10.924, and 10.931. The specific opportunity number is USDA NRCS KS CCGA 20 GEN0010791, and the announcement was created on April 13, 2020 with an original closing date of May 31, 2020.Apply for USDA NRCS KS CCGA 20 GEN0010791
