Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) at the U.S. Department of State announced a discretionary grant funding opportunity titled "The Global Equality Fund Justice Works" (Funding Opportunity Number DRLA DRLAQM 16 010). The program described in the notice is a new global initiative called Justice Works, designed to strengthen how communities and institutions respond to hate crimes and bias-motivated violence that target lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) people. The central aim is to improve responses at multiple levels, specifically local, national, and regional systems, and it is intended to be relevant across all world regions rather than focused on a single country.
The opportunity was posted on August 27, 2015, with an application closing date of October 30, 2015, and it was later archived on November 29, 2015. DRL anticipated making one award under this competition. The estimated total funding available was $500,000, with an award ceiling of $500,000 and an award floor of $250,000, meaning proposals needed to fall within that funding range. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the CFDA listing associated with the program is 19.345, "International Programs to Support Democracy, Human Rights and Labor." There was no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility was broad and included a mix of nonprofit, academic, and private-sector entities. Eligible applicants included nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (in both cases excluding institutions of higher education as a category definition), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, small businesses, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The eligibility information also referenced public international organizations, indicating that certain international public entities could be considered eligible as well, depending on how DRL applied the eligibility rules in the full announcement.
In practical terms, the notice frames Justice Works as a capacity-strengthening and systems-focused program meant to improve how hate crime and bias-motivated violence against LGBTI individuals is addressed. While the short summary in the listing does not spell out specific activities, the stated goal implies work that could include strengthening reporting and documentation of bias crimes, improving investigation and prosecution practices, enhancing victim support and referral pathways, building coordination among civil society and public institutions, and promoting stronger legal and policy responses. Because the program is described as global and aimed at local through regional responses, it also suggests an emphasis on adaptable models, cross-regional learning, and approaches that can be implemented in different legal and cultural environments.
For technical assistance accessing the announcement through Grants.gov, the listing directs applicants to the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, support@grants.gov), which operates 24/7 except federal holidays. The full program details, required application components, selection criteria, and reporting expectations were provided through the official DRL notice link referenced in the opportunity posting.
