Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS DE 18 001
The Conservation Agreements for Implementing Key Conservation Objectives in Delaware opportunity (USDA NRCS DE 18 001) is a competitive funding announcement from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Delaware State Office. Its core purpose is to build partnerships with organizations that share NRCS goals and can help deliver on priority natural resource conservation objectives across the state of Delaware. In practical terms, NRCS is looking for project proposals that strengthen on-the-ground conservation work, expand the reach or effectiveness of existing conservation efforts, and support implementation of NRCS-identified priorities within Delaware.
Funding is offered through grants and cooperative agreements, which signals that NRCS may expect a more active partnership role in many projects than a simple pass-through grant. For FY 2018, NRCS anticipated roughly $500,000 total available under this announcement, with an award ceiling of $500,000 and an expectation of about five awards. Proposed projects can be either single-year or multi-year, with allowable project durations ranging from one to five years, giving applicants flexibility to propose short implementation bursts or longer efforts that require sustained coordination, outreach, technical assistance, or monitoring.
Eligibility is broad and includes most common conservation delivery partners: state, county, and local governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities); individuals; for-profit entities (including small businesses and other for-profits). The announcement is Delaware-focused, and proposals are specifically requested from entities operating within the state.
Applications are screened first for basic completeness and compliance with the notice requirements. Any application that is incomplete or does not follow the stated provisions is removed from consideration, and applicants are notified if their submission is eliminated at that stage. Final funding decisions are discretionary: the Delaware State Conservationist retains the right not to fund any or all submitted applications, even if proposals are otherwise eligible. The opportunity is categorized under the agriculture funding activity area and references CFDA numbers 10.902, 10.912, and 10.931, which align the program with established federal assistance tracks used by NRCS.
Key dates in the notice show it was created May 22, 2018, with an original application closing date of June 22, 2018. Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a Delaware-only NRCS partnership grant/cooperative agreement program intended to leverage external capacity and collaboration to carry out priority conservation objectives, with competitive selection, potential multi-year project structures, and strict compliance screening before full review.Apply for USDA NRCS DE 18 001
