Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS WI CCA 19 GEN0010080
The Wisconsin funding announcement is a USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) competitive cooperative agreement opportunity intended to support conservation work in Wisconsin by leveraging NRCS resources, tackling local natural resource concerns, strengthening collaboration among partners, and building conservation leadership at the state and community level. The program sits in the agriculture, environment, and natural resources space and is tied to CFDA numbers 10.069, 10.902, 10.912, 10.924, and 10.931. Awards are structured as cooperative agreements, meaning NRCS typically has substantial involvement during the project rather than acting only as a pass-through funder.
For FY 2019, NRCS projected a potential total of $7,000,000 available for Wisconsin projects. Individual awards were expected to range from a minimum of $100,000 to a maximum (ceiling) of $2,000,000, with approximately 17 agreements anticipated. Projects can run from one to five years, giving applicants flexibility to propose shorter pilot efforts or longer multi-year initiatives, as long as they clearly address NRCS-aligned conservation priorities and demonstrate strong implementation capacity.
Eligibility is focused on organizations positioned to deliver public-benefit conservation outcomes and coordinate locally. NRCS requested proposals from Federally recognized tribal governments, state and local units of government, non-governmental organizations, and institutions of higher education. Applications are competitive, and proposals are screened first for completeness and compliance with the announcement requirements. Any submission that is incomplete or fails to follow the stated rules is removed from consideration, and NRCS will notify the applicant if their proposal is eliminated at that stage.
The deadline for submission was 4:00 pm Central Standard Time on May 17, 2019. NRCS planned to score proposals as they arrived, then place eligible submissions onto a ranking list used for funding consideration throughout FY 2019. Final funding decisions were to be made by the NRCS State Conservationist, guided by the ranking results and by how much funding was available within the relevant program authorities associated with the listed CFDA numbers. This rolling scoring approach places extra importance on submitting a complete, compliant application early, since proposals were evaluated upon receipt and then queued for possible funding as the fiscal year progressed.
Applications had to be submitted by email to WI.NRCS.Technical@wi.usda.gov. The announcement also notes accessibility support for applicants with disabilities through the USDA TARGET Center at (202) 720-2600 (voice and TDD), for those needing alternative communication formats such as Braille, large print, or audio.
A major compliance point is the strict proposal formatting and page limit. Narrative proposals longer than nine pages (excluding letters of support and federally required forms) were to be rejected outright. NRCS required Times New Roman, 12-point font, single spacing, and a specific section-by-section structure with page maximums: Summary (up to 1 page), Introduction (up to 1 page), Needs Assessment (up to 1 page), Objectives (up to 1 page), Methodology (up to 2 pages), Budget (up to 2 pages), and Evaluation (up to 1 page). The structure signals what NRCS wanted reviewers to see quickly: a clear conservation problem statement grounded in local needs, measurable objectives, a realistic implementation plan, a defensible budget, and a concrete approach to evaluating results.
For questions, the point of contact listed was Eric Allness, Assistant State Conservationist for Partnerships, reachable at 608-662-4422 ext. 246 or eric.allness@wi.usda.gov.Apply for USDA NRCS WI CCA 19 GEN0010080
