” ## Additional Information Agency Name:Fish and Wildlife Service Description:The Competitive State Wildlife Grant (C-SWG) Program provides Federal cost sharing awards to help the State, Territory, and District of Columbia fish and wildlife agencies and their associations design and implement proactive conservation programs benefiting wildlife and their habitats.

Proactive approaches to conservation help recipients and their conservation partners avoid more prescriptive Federal regulatory requirements associated with species listing under the Endangered Species Act. Eligible activities include conservation planning and implementation. Planning activities include strategic enhancements to a State or Territory Wildlife Action Plan (Plan) that address best practices identified in this announcement.

Implementation activities are those carried out to execute an approved Plan. Priority for use of these funds must be placed on species of greatest conservation need (SGCN) and/or their habitats. This announcement provides complete information on preparing and submitting an application, including details on award Tiers, partnership requirements, and the maximum Federal share of an award.

The award Tiers are intended to encourage partnerships dedicated to cross-jurisdictional conservation efforts supporting landscape-scale conservation. Information on the C-SWG Program and the Plan Enhancement Subprogram is provided separately. Tables showing the Tier limits and requirements are available here.
