Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled 14.PMWRA.Afghanistan.ParwanProject3.RFA (Funding Opportunity Number: PM PMWRA 14 021) was a discretionary U.S. government grant offered through the Department of State's PM Weapons Removal and Abatement program under CFDA 19.800, Weapons Removal and Abatement. The purpose of the funding was to support conventional weapons destruction work in Afghanistan, specifically in Parwan Province, by financing humanitarian demining activities, explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), and victim assistance efforts. In practical terms, the opportunity was aimed at reducing the danger posed by landmines and other explosive remnants of war, improving safety for communities, and helping survivors and affected individuals cope with the physical, social, and economic impacts of explosive hazards.
The funding instrument was a grant, and the total possible amount for an individual award could be as high as $1,429,312, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor listed as $0). The solicitation indicated there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide their own funds as a condition of receiving an award. The opportunity was posted and created on June 23, 2014, with an application closing date of July 15, 2014, and it was later archived on August 14, 2014, which generally signals the application window had passed and the announcement was no longer active.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations. Specifically, eligible applicants included nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) as well as nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also other than institutions of higher education). This eligibility framing suggests the program was looking for capable humanitarian operators and implementing partners with relevant field experience, rather than universities or for-profit firms, to carry out direct clearance, disposal, and assistance programming in a high-risk environment.
For further details, the announcement referenced an additional information link labeled 14.PMWRA.Afghanistan.ParwanProject3.RFA, implying that the full solicitation would contain the programmatic requirements, performance expectations, reporting terms, and application instructions typically required for grants in this space (such as operational plans, safety and quality management approaches, staffing, coordination mechanisms, and monitoring and evaluation). Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact the Grants.gov Contact Center, available 24/7 (excluding federal holidays), by phone at 1-800-518-4726 or by email at support@grants.gov.
