Opportunity Summary:
The Engaging Civil Society in Rehabilitation and Reintegration grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CTP_CTAQM_15_005) is a discretionary U.S. government funding announcement issued by the Department of State's Bureau of Counterterrorism (CT) under the Global Counterterrorism Programs assistance listing (CFDA 19.701). The funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the government expects to remain more actively involved in the project than it would under a standard grant, often through collaboration on planning, coordination, monitoring, or technical input. The program is positioned in the counterterrorism field, with a strong emphasis on prevention of future violence by improving what happens after individuals convicted or implicated in violent extremism are released back into society.
At its core, the opportunity seeks project concepts that operate across three or more geographic regions and that are designed to reduce recidivism among released violent extremist offenders, including returning foreign terrorist fighters. Rather than focusing only on incarceration or security measures, the program centers on rehabilitation and reintegration as practical tools to decrease the likelihood that individuals return to extremist networks or violence. Applicants are expected to propose interventions that strengthen the ability of civil society organizations to support reintegration in local communities, since community-based actors are often the ones providing long-term support such as mentoring, psychosocial assistance, livelihood pathways, community acceptance efforts, and other wraparound services that can stabilize reentry and reduce risk.
The stated objectives highlight three main outcomes. First, the project should build the capacity of civil society to reintegrate violent extremist offenders and returning foreign terrorist fighters into their communities, which can include training, toolkits, structured program models, referral pathways, and partnerships that allow non-governmental actors to deliver credible and consistent reintegration support. Second, the project should facilitate relationships of trust between civil society and governmental authorities. This is a key element in many reintegration contexts because civil society often needs access, information-sharing protocols, and coordination with prisons, probation/parole services, ministries, or local authorities, while governments may need civil society to help reduce stigma, strengthen community resilience, and provide non-coercive support that complements security-led approaches. Third, the project should support the sharing of good practices in rehabilitation and reintegration, suggesting that CT is looking for cross-regional learning, documentation of what works, and dissemination of proven or promising approaches so that programs can be replicated or adapted across different settings.
Financially, the announcement anticipates making a single award, with a total award amount expected to fall between $1,000,000 (award floor) and $1,300,000 (award ceiling). No cost sharing or matching is required, which lowers the barrier for organizations that may not be able to contribute significant non-federal funds. The opportunity was posted on June 25, 2015, with the original closing date of August 24, 2015, later updated to a current closing date of September 18, 2015. The archive date is October 18, 2015, indicating the historical period during which applications were accepted.
Eligibility is broad and includes several categories of applicants: U.S.-based nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (and also nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and private institutions of higher education. In addition, the announcement explicitly notes that Public International Organizations and foreign public and private entities are eligible to apply, which opens participation to international implementers and local organizations in relevant regions, as well as multilateral or quasi-multilateral bodies that engage in rehabilitation and reintegration work.
For applicant support, the announcement directs anyone who has trouble accessing the full notice to the Grants.gov Contact Center, which operates 24/7 except federal holidays, and provides both a phone number (1-800-518-4726) and email (support@grants.gov). The full announcement is referenced via an additional information link titled "Engaging Civil Society in Rehabilitation and Reintegration," which would typically contain the detailed program requirements, expected activities, deliverables, reporting expectations, and any compliance or coordination requirements associated with a cooperative agreement in the counterterrorism space.
