Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "DRL: Interfaith Programming in Eastern and Central Europe" is a discretionary funding competition offered by the U.S. Department of State through its Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL). The program is set up as a grant (rather than a contract or cooperative agreement) and focuses on supporting projects that build tolerance and strengthen interfaith understanding. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at efforts that improve relations between different religious communities and that foster constructive engagement on religious diversity within broader civil society, especially in Eastern and Central Europe.
DRL is looking for applicants that can design and run programming that reduces tensions, counters prejudice, and encourages cooperation across religious lines. While the announcement is brief, the core idea is clear: proposals should center on promoting mutual respect and dialogue among religious groups and creating conditions where civil society actors can work alongside faith communities to support pluralism and peaceful coexistence. Projects might involve interfaith dialogue initiatives, community-based collaboration, public education or awareness efforts, or other activities that measurably increase understanding and acceptance between religious communities and within society at large.
The funding opportunity number for this solicitation is DRLA DRLAQM 16 020, and it is tied to CFDA number 19.345. The award structure indicates a single expected award, with a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $950,000. That suggests the Department is anticipating one sizeable project rather than multiple smaller grants, so applicants would typically need the organizational capacity to manage a relatively large, multi-component program and the ability to demonstrate how their approach can generate meaningful outcomes at scale or across multiple communities.
Key dates show that the opportunity was created and posted on October 28, 2015, and the application deadline (both original and current) was December 18, 2015. The eligible applicant category is listed broadly as "Others," with a note to consult the full eligibility guidance in the official announcement for specifics. The agency listed is DOS (Department of State). Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a targeted DRL grant competition intended to fund a major initiative in Eastern and Central Europe that promotes religious tolerance, reduces inter-group friction, and strengthens civil society engagement around interfaith understanding.
