Opportunity Summary:
The Alternatives to Drugs and Violence Annual Program Statement (ADVAPS) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL). It supports programs in Guatemala that align with INL priorities in law enforcement, justice, and public safety, with a particular focus on reducing drug-related harm, violence, and broader criminal activity. The opportunity is offered under either a grant or a cooperative agreement, meaning INL may either provide standard grant support or take a more hands-on role in implementation and oversight depending on the award structure.
This announcement was posted on January 30, 2015, with an application closing date of August 30, 2015, and it was later archived on September 29, 2015. Individual awards were expected to range from a minimum (award floor) of $200,000 up to a maximum (award ceiling) of $2,000,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility.
The funding activity categories tied to this program fall under law, justice, and legal services, and it is associated with CFDA numbers 19.703 (Criminal Justice Systems), 19.704 (Counter Narcotics), and 19.705 (Trans National Crime). These labels signal the general problem set the funding is intended to address, including strengthening criminal justice systems, reducing narcotics trafficking and use-related impacts, and countering cross-border criminal networks and violence drivers.
Eligibility is broader than many federal opportunities but has clear registration and compliance expectations. Eligible applicants include U.S. nonprofits (including civil society organizations, foreign NGOs, and religious associations), U.S. private or state educational institutions, Guatemalan in-country nonprofits and educational institutions, and for-profit entities (both U.S. and in-country) as long as they are legally registered in Guatemala and can carry out programming there. A key theme across eligibility categories is the need to demonstrate that the organization is legally established and able to meet INL reporting requirements. Applicants must either already be registered in Guatemala or provide proof that they are in the process of seeking registration at the time they submit the proposal. For U.S. nonprofit applicants that do not yet have 501(c)(3) status, the announcement indicates they must show proof they are seeking nonprofit status from the IRS when applying, and if selected, final funding would be contingent on having 501(c)(3) status.
The opportunity also includes an important restriction for for-profit applicants: they may apply, but they are not allowed to include profit in the proposed budget. In practice, that means budgets should be built around allowable project costs only (staff time, materials, travel, services, and other direct and indirect costs as permitted), without a line item or margin that represents profit or fee.
Administrative details in the listing show the official opportunity number as INL 15 0012 WHPGUATEMALA 01302015 and identify INL as the issuing agency. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact Joe Hogler (202-241-1394) or Matilda Gawf (202-663-2927), who are listed as points of contact for the program.
