Deadline: 12 May 2017
The U.S. Embassy in Brasília, in collaboration with the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM), is seeking proposals from potential partners working in the area of refugee protection and assistance in Brazil for its Julia Taft Refugee Fund.
This support is meant to meet low-cost gaps in refugee protection and assistance and to respond to urgent needs that have not been addressed by larger multilateral refugee programs.
Funding Information
- Minimum Award Amount: $5,000
- Ceiling Award Amount: $25,000
Eligibility Criteria and Funding Guidelines
- The funds are meant to support projects that assist refugees or refugee returnees.
- Requests to provide funding to populations other than refugees/returnees are discouraged, but exceptions can be made in some regions with “populations of concern” to PRM, such as internally displaced persons (IDPs), vulnerable migrants, and stateless persons.
- Consideration for support is given to projects that benefit both populations of concern and their host communities.
- The fund is not meant as an emergency fund.
- Applicants must be a registered organization (e.g. NGO, community-based organization, faith-based organization).
- Local NGOs will be given priority. International NGOs may submit a proposal but must have a close partnership with a local NGO.
How to Apply
- All proposals must be in English.
- Applicants may also provide an additional copy in Portuguese but a proposal only submitted in Portuguese will not be considered.
- Proposals must be submitted at the address given on the website.
