Opportunity Summary:
The Brazil Environment Program is a discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number APS 512 15 000002) administered by USAID, listed under the funding activity category of Environment. The core purpose of the opportunity is to support the Brazilian Policy for Territorial and Environmental Management of Indigenous Lands, known by its Portuguese acronym PNGATI. In practical terms, the program is aimed at strengthening how indigenous territories in Brazil are managed and protected from an environmental and land-governance perspective, aligning assistance with Brazil's national policy framework for indigenous land stewardship.
USAID anticipated making up to three awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of USD 2,500,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a minimum (floor) of USD 500,000 to a maximum (ceiling) of USD 2,500,000, meaning a single project could potentially receive the full amount depending on the final selection and program design. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which generally lowers the barrier to entry for applicants that may not have large reserves or philanthropic co-funding lined up.
The opportunity was posted on March 4, 2015, with the same creation date, and it carried an application closing date of September 3, 2015 (both the original and current closing date are the same). It is associated with CFDA number 98.001, which corresponds to USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas, indicating the funding is part of U.S. foreign assistance programming implemented outside the United States.
Eligibility was broad and included both U.S. and non-U.S. organizations. Specifically, eligible applicants included non-governmental organizations (NGOs), colleges and universities, and commercial (for-profit) entities, with the listing indicating "Others" and pointing applicants to additional eligibility details in the full announcement. This mix suggests USAID was open to a range of implementers, from conservation and indigenous-rights NGOs to academic institutions capable of research and monitoring, as well as private-sector firms that could provide technical services, mapping, environmental management systems, training, or other specialized support tied to PNGATI objectives.
The sponsoring agency is listed as USAID (Agency Name shown as "Peru USAID Lima"), which suggests the administrative point of contact and oversight may have been routed through the USAID mission platform in Lima for this particular solicitation. For access issues or administrative questions about the full announcement, the contact provided was Cecilia Yanez, Senior Acquisition and Assistance Specialist, reachable by phone at +51 1 618 1432.
