Opportunity Summary:
The Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) bureau and the State Departments Office on Global Womens Issues (S/GWI) released a joint discretionary funding opportunity to select one organization to manage the Gender Based Violence (GBV) Emergency Response and Prevention Initiative. The core purpose of this initiative is to create or run emergency response mechanisms that can rapidly assist survivors of gender based violence and also protect individuals who face a credible, imminent threat of attack because of their gender. In practice, this is meant to function as an emergency protection and assistance program rather than a long-term development grant, with an emphasis on immediate safety, stabilization, and practical support for those at urgent risk.
The program focus is explicitly centered on emergency assistance and protection services connected to gender based violence, including cases tied to harmful traditional practices. While the notice does not list every allowable activity, the framing makes clear that proposals should be built around fast, flexible response capacity for high-risk situations affecting survivors and those threatened with imminent harm. The initiative is positioned within the bureaus broader democracy and human rights portfolio (CFDA 19.345, International Programs to Support Democracy, Human Rights and Labor), signaling that the work is viewed not only as humanitarian protection but also as a human rights intervention aligned with U.S. foreign policy objectives.
This opportunity was offered as either a cooperative agreement or a grant, meaning the selected recipient could expect federal funding with the usual award oversight, and in the case of a cooperative agreement, potentially more substantial involvement by the U.S. government in implementation compared to a standard grant. The total funding available was $500,000, and the notice indicates a single expected award with a fixed award floor and ceiling both set at $500,000, essentially describing one award at that amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for organizations that do not have access to significant unrestricted funds.
Eligibility was broad across common applicant types, including nonprofits (both with and without 501(c)(3) status), public and state controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. In other words, the competition was open to a wide mix of implementing partners, as long as they could credibly demonstrate the capacity to run an emergency response and protection initiative for GBV cases and manage federal funds in compliance with grant requirements.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on December 21, 2012, with a closing date of February 15, 2013, and later archived on March 17, 2013. The funding opportunity number is DRLA-DRLAQM-13-009. Applicants were directed to consult the full Request for Proposals for detailed requirements, and those unable to access the announcement electronically were referred to the GrantSolutions help desk for technical support via phone or email (help@grantsolutions.gov).
