Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) issued a Request for Statements of Interest (RSOI) for a grant opportunity focused on land rights in Cambodia and Vietnam. The core aim is to support programs that help marginalized communities strengthen their ability to organize, document land-related abuses, and advocate effectively for accountability. The opportunity is framed around addressing land tenure problems and the impacts of forcible displacement, with an emphasis on practical skills that communities can use to defend their rights and press for remedies.
This funding opportunity is a discretionary grant (Funding Opportunity Number: DRLA-DRLAQM-15-018) under CFDA 19.345, International Programs to Support Democracy, Human Rights and Labor. DRL anticipated making one award, with total estimated funding of $495,000. Proposed budgets were expected to fall between $300,000 (award floor) and $495,000 (award ceiling). Cost sharing or matching was not required, which means applicants did not need to contribute non-federal funds to be considered competitive.
Eligible applicants included a range of nonprofit and higher education institutions: U.S. nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), private institutions of higher education, and public/state-controlled institutions of higher education. In practical terms, DRL was inviting organizations that could demonstrate both a credible program concept and the organizational capacity to manage and implement a project in this sensitive rights-focused space, likely involving work with affected communities and partners in Cambodia and/or Vietnam.
