Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled 16.PMWRA.Colombia.VA.NOFO (Funding Opportunity Number: PM PMWRA 16 044) was issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). It is a discretionary grant program focused on supporting victims assistance activities in Colombia. In practical terms, the funding is aimed at organizations that can deliver services and support to people affected by conflict-related explosive hazards and weapons, consistent with PM/WRA's broader mission of reducing the humanitarian impact of landmines and explosive remnants of war and strengthening local capacity to address those impacts.
The opportunity falls under CFDA 19.800 and uses a grant as the funding instrument. PM/WRA indicated it anticipated making awards up to an award ceiling of $250,000. The notice was created and posted on June 8, 2016, and the application deadline (both original and current) was August 5, 2016. While the notice references "specific goals, objectives, and technical requirements" being detailed elsewhere in the full announcement, the core purpose is clear: to solicit applications that propose effective victims assistance programming in Colombia, aligning with U.S. foreign assistance priorities in humanitarian mine action and post-conflict recovery.
Eligibility is relatively broad within the nonprofit and higher education space. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) IRS status (excluding institutions of higher education), and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding institutions of higher education). This eligibility structure suggests PM/WRA intended to attract proposals from experienced humanitarian and development implementers, academic institutions with relevant programming capacity, and locally rooted or international NGOs able to operate in Colombia and coordinate with national systems and service providers.
Overall, this NOFO represents a targeted funding call to improve assistance for victims in Colombia through a competitively awarded U.S. State Department grant, with a maximum available amount of $250,000 per award and a submission window running from early June to early August 2016.
