The Department of State Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (TIP Office) announces an open competition for FY 2018 projects to combat trafficking in persons outside in the United States.
Informed by the annual Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report, current anti trafficking programming, and in consultation with other offices in the U.S. Government, the TIP Office has identified 24 priority countries or regions for funding.
Funding Information
- TIP Office foreign assistance awards for bilateral and regional projects typically range between $500,000 and $1,000,000 with a handful falling outside that range.
- Project duration normally falls between 24 and 48 months.
Eligibility Information
- Organizations eligible to apply include U.S.-based and foreign non-profits, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), for-profit organizations, institutions of higher education, and public international organizations (PIOs).
- For-profit organizations are not permitted to generate profits from grant-funded activities. U.S. government agencies may respond to this NOFO with proposals for projects that would be funded through an Interagency Acquisition Agreement. While foreign governments are not eligible to apply, governments may be beneficiaries of programs provided that funding does not pay salaries of government agency personnel and that such assistance is not restricted by U.S. law or policy.
- Organizations currently receiving funds from the TIP Office may apply for additional funding under the present funding opportunity.
