  1. Connect with your Joint Venture Coordinator • Helps you understand priorities • Connects you with partners • Advises on grant application • Can serve as a project advocate

  2. Match with your mission • Don’t just follow the money – remember your mission • Take advantage of studies/priorities established by others • Consider building Joint Venture priorities in to your own

  3. Columbia Land Trust Priorities

  4. Small NAWCA grants are a good first step • Can be a straight-forward project with lower matching requirements • Grant application less complicated • Grant administration is simpler • Smaller federal grant does not require most intense audits • Can be a great stepping stone to large NAWCA grants

  5. Small NAWCA

  6. Small NAWCA

  7. Small NAWCA Budget Example

  8. Standard NAWCA grants are a commitment • Challenging to build the project • Organization must comply with more federal rules, often including A-133 audit • Administering the grant takes a lot of effort

  9. Standard NAWCA

  10. Standard NAWCA Budget Example • FUNDING, PROPOSAL COSTS, AND ACRES ( ) = duplicated acres: • GRANT FUNDS (Recipient: Columbia Land Trust) $999,014 • PARTNER FUNDS $6,119,574 • Columbia Land Trust - $27,065 • U.S. Dept. of Ag., Natural Resources Conservation Service - $2,000,000 • Washington Department of Natural Resources - $511,000 • Clark County, Washington - $672,000 • Metropolitan Service District of Oregon - $475,025 • U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service - $382,750 • Ducks Unlimited, Inc. - $217,080 • Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife - $1,697,544 • Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife - $101,000 • Private Landowners - $19,125 • Coastal St. Helens Chemical - $15,985 • Oregon Trout - $1,000 • TOTAL FUNDS $7,118,588 • GRANT PARTNER TOTAL TOTAL • ACRES ACRES ACRES COST • ACQUISITION 1,963 $5,448,544 • Fee 1,012 951 1,963 $3,623,544 ($1,846/acre) • Easement (900) (900) $1,800,000 ($2,000/acre) • Other Acquisition Costs $25,000 • RESTORATION 217(364) 275(586) 492(950) $813,487 ($564/acre) • ENHANCEMENT 2,024 2,181 4,205 $828,492 ($197/acre) • OTHER $28,065 • TOTAL ACRES AND COST 3,253 (364) 3,407 (1,486) 6,660 (1,850) $7,118,588

  11. How does the project relate to the national status and trends of wetland types? Compare acres in the proposal to actual.

  12. How does the project contribute to long-term conservation of wetlands and associated habitats? Compare acres in the proposal to actual. Explain any differences between actual accomplishments and the objectives for the period including the acres projected in each category in Technical Assessment Questions 4 and 5 The majority of the of the acquisition, restoration and enhancement for the match and non-match projects included in the Willapa Bay – Phase I grant have been completed or are nearing completion. However, most work supported by grant funds is yet to be completed. Columbia Land Trust is making progress in the acquisition of four properties funded by the grant. Engineering work is in progress on the Willapa River project. Restoration and enhancement work on the Davis and Ellsworth Creek properties is pending until acquisition of those properties is complete.

  13. The art of building a project • Start with priority areas or priority habitat types • Elements to consider: • Science (habitat benefits, topo surveys, restoration planning, NEPA, NHPA) • Partners (match availability, satisfying partner goals, NAWCA restrictions) • Acres and Dollars (acquisition and restoration; federal and non-federal) • Landowner contacts • Seek input of Joint Venture Coordinator
