Geographic Regions
- Concept note activities should primarily support displaced persons and refugees in Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkiye.
- In Iraq only, the 50 percent target beneficiary base may include both internally displaced persons (IDPs) and IDP returnees in addition to, or in lieu of, refugees. PRM encourages the inclusion of refugee beneficiaries who are not Syrian or Iraqi to promote an equitable approach among refugee nationalities, based on PRM’s commitment to the “one refugee approach.”
- Wherever possible, programs should incorporate capacity strengthening, inclusion of persons with disabilities, and inclusion of host community members as program participants to promote social cohesion and foster cooperation, understanding and trust between refugees and their host communities.
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 registration in country of domicile); and
- International Organizations. International multilateral organizations, such as United Nations agencies, should not submit concept notes through Grants.gov in response to this Notice of Funding Opportunity.
- Multilateral organizations that are seeking funding for programs relevant to this announcement should contact the PRM Program Officer as soon as this announcement is released and no later than the closing date of this announcement.
