Opportunity Summary:
The DRL Global Requests for Proposals (Funding Opportunity Number DRL 10 GR GLOBAL RFP 062510) is a U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) grant opportunity supporting projects that advance democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. It is a discretionary grant program (CFDA 19.345, International Programs to Support Democracy, Human Rights and Labor) aimed at organizations that can design and run effective programs in politically complex environments and, ideally, already have credible relationships or partners on the ground.
The geographic scope is broad and spans multiple regions and priority countries. In Africa, the announcement supports regional efforts as well as country-focused work connected to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (including initiatives linked to DRC-Rwanda and DRC-CAR dynamics) and specific country contexts such as Eritrea, Sudan, and Nigeria. In East Asia and the Pacific, it includes regional programming for Pacific Island Countries and country programming in Burma, Cambodia, and Laos. In Europe and Eurasia, it covers regional initiatives in Central, Eastern, and/or Southeastern Europe and country programming in Belarus, Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Ukraine. In the Near East, projects may focus on Egypt and Tunisia. In South and Central Asia, the opportunity includes Sri Lanka and a Central Asia regional focus. In the Western Hemisphere, it supports regional programming as well as targeted efforts in Venezuela and Mexico. Across all these areas, the unifying theme is support for democratic governance, protection of human rights, and strengthening legal and institutional frameworks that uphold the rule of law.
Funding levels are sized for mid-to-large projects rather than small pilots. Individual awards range from a floor of $250,000 to a ceiling of $1,300,000, and the opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds. The opportunity was posted on June 25, 2010, with an application deadline of August 4, 2010, and it was archived on September 3, 2010. Because it is an RFP-style solicitation, the expectation is that proposals clearly connect activities to DRL objectives in the listed countries/regions, demonstrate feasible implementation plans, and show the applicant can responsibly manage a federal award at the proposed scale.
Eligibility is limited to U.S. organizations with specific nonprofit credentials and relevant capacity. Applicants must be registered U.S. nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status, or be a U.S. university or research institution that also meets 501(c)(3) provisions. Organizations that are still in the process of obtaining 501(c)(3) status may apply if they provide proof they are seeking IRS nonprofit status at the time of submission, but any eventual award would be contingent on obtaining that status. Beyond legal eligibility, DRL emphasizes demonstrated experience administering successful projects, preferably in the target country/region or in similarly challenging environments. DRL also signals it may request extra background from organizations without prior federal grant experience, and such applicants could be restricted to limited pilot funding. Another key expectation is that applicants already have, or can credibly build, active partnerships with organizations in the target countries/regions, reflecting the reality that DRL programs typically depend on local knowledge, access, and legitimacy.
The solicitation allows consortium applications, which can be useful when a project requires complementary strengths (for example, combining technical legal expertise, grassroots human rights networks, and research/evaluation capacity). In those cases, the partners may submit a single combined proposal, but one organization must be identified as the lead applicant responsible for the overall submission and grant management. For applicants needing the full announcement or having trouble accessing it electronically, the point of contact listed is Pamela Erickson, Program Officer, at 202-549-5979.
