Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor Request for Proposals Promoting Internationally Recognized Labor Rights Globally" (Funding Opportunity Number DRLA DRLAQM 15 010), was issued by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL). It is a discretionary grant competition under CFDA 19.345, "International Programs to Support Democracy, Human Rights and Labor." The announcement was posted on November 12, 2014, with a proposal deadline of December 29, 2014, and it was later archived on January 28, 2015.
The purpose of the solicitation is to fund programs that strengthen and defend internationally recognized labor rights, with particular emphasis on Bangladesh and Sub-Saharan Africa, and on initiatives that promote the human and labor rights of migrant workers. In practical terms, DRL is looking for proposals that help workers and worker organizations exercise core labor rights and protections recognized internationally, and that address the vulnerabilities faced by migrant workers, who often experience heightened risk of exploitation, unsafe conditions, wage theft, discrimination, or barriers to organizing and seeking remedies. The announcement notes that awards are contingent on the availability of funding, meaning selections may depend on final budget decisions even if proposals are technically strong.
DRL anticipated making about three awards under this competition. Individual grant amounts were expected to fall between an award floor of $150,000 and an award ceiling of $500,000. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can make it more accessible to organizations that do not have unrestricted funds to contribute.
Eligibility is broad and includes nonprofit organizations (both those with and without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and public or private institutions of higher education. The announcement directs applicants to consult the Proposal Submission Instructions for the full eligibility conditions and submission requirements, which are provided through a State Department link referenced in the notice. Applicants who had difficulty accessing the full announcement were instructed to contact the GrantSolutions.gov help desk via the phone numbers listed or by emailing help@grantsolutions.gov.
Overall, the opportunity is designed for organizations capable of implementing labor-rights programming in challenging environments and/or across migration contexts, with the intent of producing measurable improvements in the protection of workers' rights, the ability of workers to organize and advocate for themselves, and the accountability of relevant institutions and actors influencing labor conditions.
