Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS WI CCA 21 NOFO0001091
The Cooperative Conservation Agreements Fiscal Year 2021 Announcement for Program Funding - Wisconsin is a competitive federal funding opportunity released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). It is designed to support projects located in Wisconsin that strengthen conservation outcomes by partnering with local, state, Tribal, nonprofit, academic, and private-sector organizations. The overall intent is to leverage NRCS expertise and resources to address locally relevant natural resource concerns, encourage collaboration among stakeholders, and help build conservation leadership at both the state and community level.
This opportunity is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, which generally means NRCS expects an active partnership role rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. Projects are expected to align with NRCS conservation priorities across agriculture, environment, and natural resources, and they are positioned to complement NRCS programs associated with CFDA numbers 10.069, 10.902, 10.912, 10.924, and 10.931. While the notice excerpt does not list specific project themes, the framing suggests proposals should be practical, partnership-driven efforts that tackle identifiable resource issues in Wisconsin and demonstrate clear benefits from coordination with NRCS.
A wide range of applicants are eligible. Eligible entities include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Tribal governments and other Tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status; for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. This broad eligibility is meant to promote cross-sector collaboration and make it easier for local or regional coalitions to assemble the right mix of partners to deliver conservation results.
Applications had to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov, and the deadline was June 4, 2021 at 11:59 pm Eastern Time. Applicants were encouraged to plan ahead, especially first-time Grants.gov users, because account setup steps can take time and NRCS staff do not provide technical support for Grants.gov account issues. For Grants.gov submission problems, applicants were directed to Grants.gov Applicant Support (1-800-518-4726 or support@grants.gov). Programmatic questions about the notice could be submitted up to May 4, 2021, with responses expected to be posted on Grants.gov roughly two weeks before the application deadline.
NRCS indicated that proposals would be screened first for completeness and compliance with the notice requirements. Applications that were incomplete or noncompliant would be removed from consideration, and the applicant would be notified. This kind of initial screening is important because it means the basic formatting, required forms, and adherence to submission instructions can determine whether a proposal is even reviewed on its merits.
In terms of scale, the opportunity listed an award ceiling of $2,000,000 and anticipated about 20 awards. NRCS expected to make selections by June 30, 2021 and aimed to execute (finalize) awards by September 1, 2021. The notice was created on April 22, 2021, establishing a relatively short application window, which reinforced the need for applicants to prepare their materials and Grants.gov registrations early.Apply for USDA NRCS WI CCA 21 NOFO0001091
