Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) released a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Democracy, Human Rights, and Citizen Engagement in Ukraine" under Funding Opportunity Number DRLA DRLAQM 13 025. The central purpose of the program is to strengthen democratic governance in Ukraine by reinforcing the role of civil society in public life, especially in shaping policy and increasing the accountability and responsiveness of government officials. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at projects that help create a more inclusive, participatory system of government and that improve the ability of citizens and civil society groups to hold politicians and public officials accountable to the people they serve.
The announcement describes a programmatic focus on democracy promotion, human rights, and citizen engagement. DRL is looking for proposals that support civil society as a meaningful actor in policy formation rather than a passive observer, with an emphasis on mechanisms that improve government transparency, answerability, and public responsiveness. While the summary does not list specific project models, the framing points toward initiatives that expand civic participation, strengthen advocacy and oversight capacity, and improve channels for citizens and nongovernmental organizations to influence decisions and monitor public officials' performance.
Funding is provided through a grant instrument, with individual awards expected to fall between $300,000 (award floor) and $500,000 (award ceiling). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated, which means applicants are not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility. The funding is associated with CFDA (now commonly referenced through Assistance Listings) number 19.345, "International Programs to Support Democracy, Human Rights and Labor."
Eligibility is open to a range of organization types in general, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations both with and without U.S. 501(c)(3) status. However, the eligibility information further specifies that applicants may be "a 501(c)(3) comparable organization headquartered outside of the United States, or an international organization." In other words, the opportunity is structured to accommodate non-U.S.-headquartered entities that function like charitable nonprofits, as well as international organizations, aligning with the overseas, democracy-support nature of the program.
Key dates in the notice indicate the opportunity was posted on March 19, 2013, with an application closing date of April 20, 2013. The record also shows an archive date of May 20, 2013, signaling that the opportunity is no longer active and is preserved as a historical listing. Applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement were directed to the Grants.gov Contact Center, available by phone at 1-800-518-4726 or by email at support@grants.gov, with around-the-clock support except on federal holidays.
