F24AS00061 - FY 2024 Competitive State Wildlife Grant (C-SWG) Program

The Competitive State Wildlife Grant (C-SWG) Program provides Federal grant funds to help you and your partners implement programs for the benefit of fish and wildlife and their habitats. Eligible activities include conservation planning and implementation. Planning activities must contribute directly to the development or modification of your Wildlife Action Plan (Plan) approved by the Director of the Service or other Service designee. Implementation activities are those that you carry out to execute your Plan. Priority for use of these funds must be placed on your identified species of greatest conservation need (SGCN) and their habitats and should take into consideration the relative level of funding available for the conservation of these species. Ineligible activities include wildlife education or outreach and law enforcement activities unless they are a minor or incidental component considered critical to the success of your project. Answers to frequently asked questions are provided toward the end of this section below. We encourage you to contact your WSFR Regional Office for further guidance.
