Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) announced a discretionary grant opportunity under the Global Equality Fund focused on protecting the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) persons. The core purpose of the program is to provide practical protection and support to people who face human rights violations or abuses because of their real or perceived sexual orientation and or gender identity, and to strengthen the ability of allies across civil society and other sectors to promote greater tolerance, safety, and respect for the rights of LGBTI individuals. In other words, the opportunity is aimed both at direct protection responses for those at risk and at broader efforts that help shift attitudes and practices that enable discrimination and abuse.
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DRLA DRLAQM 15 077) was issued as a request for statements of interest, indicating an initial step where applicants present a concept or preliminary approach rather than a full application package at the outset. The funding instrument is a grant, and it falls under CFDA 19.345, International Programs to Support Democracy, Human Rights and Labor. The program is categorized under an "Other" funding activity classification, with no additional category explanation provided in the source data.
DRL anticipated making approximately five awards with an estimated total funding level of $2,000,000. Individual awards were expected to range from $100,000 (award floor) to $500,000 (award ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically means applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind support as a condition of eligibility, though they could still choose to leverage other resources to strengthen their proposals.
Eligibility was broadly open to a range of organizational types, including nonprofit organizations (both those with 501(c)(3) status and those without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and private institutions of higher education. The listing notes "Others" as potentially eligible as well, with the specific eligibility details referenced in the proposal submission instructions in the full announcement.
