Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) issued a discretionary grant funding opportunity titled "Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor Request for Proposals Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor in Egypt" (Funding Opportunity Number: DRLA DRLAQM 15 056). The purpose of the solicitation is to fund projects designed to produce a direct and lasting impact in Egypt by supporting an inclusive and stable democratic process, protecting fundamental freedoms, strengthening stable democratic institutions, and advancing the rule of law. The program is aligned with CFDA 19.345, International Programs to Support Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, and it is framed broadly under the funding activity category of "Other," without additional category explanation provided in the notice.
The opportunity was posted on March 19, 2015, with a creation date of March 20, 2015, and an application deadline of May 6, 2015. The notice indicates an estimated total funding amount of $1,000,000 for this opportunity. Individual awards were expected to fall between an award floor of $350,000 and an award ceiling of $1,000,000, meaning DRL anticipated either one large award up to the full amount or a smaller number of sizable awards within that range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility was open to a wide set of organizational types. Eligible applicants included U.S. nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and other entities as referenced in the eligibility section of the notice. The summary does not provide additional eligibility restrictions or special criteria beyond these categories.
From a practical standpoint, this NOFO invited organizations with relevant democracy, governance, human rights, legal reform, or civic participation experience to propose projects that could contribute to durable improvements in Egypt's democratic governance environment. While the short description does not list specific program tracks or required activities, it clearly emphasizes outcomes tied to inclusive democratic processes, protection of basic freedoms, institutional strengthening, and the rule of law, suggesting that proposals would be expected to demonstrate realistic pathways to measurable, sustained impact in those areas.
