Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of State Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) announced a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Facilitating Regional, National, and Local Dialogues in Middle East/North Africa" (Funding Opportunity Number DRLA DRLAQM 14 010). The core purpose of the opportunity is to support initiatives that advance DRL objectives related to the peaceful resolution of conflict across the Middle East and North Africa region. Rather than requesting fully developed proposals at the outset, DRL is inviting eligible organizations to submit statements of interest that describe their program concept and demonstrate their organizational capacity to manage and implement projects aligned with this goal.
The opportunity is structured as a grant under CFDA 19.345, which covers international programs that support democracy, human rights, and labor. Funding is intended for efforts that facilitate dialogue at multiple levels, including regional, national, and local engagements, suggesting an emphasis on convening, mediation support, relationship-building, and structured communication among stakeholders in conflict-affected or politically tense environments. Applicants are expected to outline how their approach would contribute to nonviolent conflict management and resolution, and to show they have the experience, staffing, partnerships, and operational systems necessary to deliver programming in the MENA context.
Funding amounts are set within a defined range, with an award floor of $200,000 and an award ceiling of $750,000 per grant. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility. The posting date was December 17, 2013, and the application window closed on January 8, 2014, with the opportunity later archived on February 7, 2014.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. In practical terms, this targets established nonprofit implementers, such as NGOs with relevant regional expertise and demonstrated capacity to administer U.S. government-funded programs, including compliance, reporting, and financial management capabilities.
For those needing technical help accessing the full announcement materials, the public contact point is the Grants.gov Contact Center, reachable by phone at 1-800-518-4726 or by email at support@grants.gov, available 24/7 except federal holidays.
