Deadline: 17-Mar-23
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) is seeking proposals for NGO Programs Benefiting Displaced Persons in Al-Hol and Roj Camps, Syria.
Program Area
Proposals must align with one or more of the following program areas.
- Humanitarian Protection and Assistance.
- Interim and Durable Solutions.
Program Sectors and Modalities
Proposals must focus on one or more of the following programmatic sectors.
- Education
- Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS)
- Protection
- Protection: Child Protection
- Note: In order to ensure greater accountability for protection outcomes in all overseas assistance program proposals, three indicators are required for all programs regardless of design or sector. If the proposed program will not contribute to one or several of these mandatory indicators, the indicator must still be included in the proposal indicator table but with a target of zero.
- Number of individuals directly reached through PRM funding.
- Amount of humanitarian funding distributed to local, national, or displaced person-led organizations (in USD) – This amount should include any sub-awards or contracts with local, national, or refugee-led organizations. If the prime applicant is a local, national, or displaced person-led organization, they should put the full proposal budget total as the target value. The IASC working definition of “local” and “national” organizations is here. Applicants can put a target of zero for this indicator if it does not apply to them; it will not affect their eligibility.
- Percentage of participants who report that humanitarian assistance is delivered in a safe, accessible, accountable, and participatory manner – This is a protection mainstreaming indicator developed by ECHO and adopted by the Grand Bargain. Measurement instructions can be found here and here.
Funding Information
- Program proposals must not be less than the funding floor and not more than the funding ceiling per year or they will be disqualified.
- Funding floor per year (lowest $ value): $750,000 per year.
- Funding ceiling per year (highest $ value): $1,000,000 per year.
- PRM anticipates, but makes no guarantee, to fund as many as two (2) awards through this announcement.

Geographic Regions / Populations
Proposed activities must primarily support displaced persons in al-Hol and Roj camps in northeast Syria. Al-Hol should be the primary location of the project, but PRM is willing to consider projects in Roj camp as well. PRM will consider funding only those projects that target displaced persons residing in these camps.
Eligibility Criteria
- Nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education (U.S.-based NGOs must be able to demonstrate proof of non-profit tax status).
- Nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education (overseas-based NGOs must be able to demonstrate proof of ability to work in this location); and
- International Organizations. International multilateral organizations, such as United Nations agencies, should not submit proposals through Grants.gov in response to this NOFO. Multilateral organizations that are seeking funding for programs relevant to this announcement should contact the PRM Program Officer on or before the closing date of the funding announcement.
