Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2010 Funding Opportunity Announcement for the Reception and Placement (RP) Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM). Through this program, PRM partners with non-governmental organizations to carry out the initial reception and placement of refugees who are admitted to the United States under the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program. The overall intent is to support a smooth, successful start for newly arriving refugees and to help position them to reach economic self-sufficiency as quickly as possible, consistent with the goals laid out in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).
The announcement clarifies who is considered a refugee for purposes of this funding. In this context, a refugee is someone admitted under section 207(c) of the INA (as amended), as well as individuals who have been granted eligibility for the same resettlement assistance by statute even if their admission pathway differs. The program is focused specifically on the early phase of resettlement, meaning the period immediately after arrival when refugees need coordinated support to stabilize, connect to essential services, and begin the transition into their new communities.
Funding under this opportunity is offered through Cooperative Agreements, which generally means PRM expects an ongoing, collaborative relationship with the awardees rather than a hands-off grant. PRM indicates it plans to make only a limited number of awards for FY 2010, and it is looking for well-qualified nonprofit organizations that can deliver a range of services across multiple locations in the United States. The Bureau explicitly notes that participation in the FY 2009 RP Program is not required to apply and does not guarantee selection for FY 2010, signaling that current partners may compete alongside new applicants as long as they meet the program standards and selection criteria.
A key theme of the opportunity is that federal support is intended to be partial. Participating organizations are expected to combine PRM funding with existing and projected private resources to provide RP services. In other words, applicants must be able to demonstrate that they can bring additional, non-federal financial support to the table to help cover the full scope of reception and placement needs. Even though the listing states there is no formal cost sharing or matching requirement, the program description still makes clear that leveraging private resources is an expectation of participation and part of how services are sustained.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). Beyond basic nonprofit eligibility, PRM sets concrete capacity requirements. Applicants must be well-established social service providers with demonstrated case management expertise, and they must have experience managing a network of offices that provide reception and placement services or similar support to refugees or other migrant populations within the United States. Organizations must also have been operating for at least three full years as a 501(c)(3). Finally, they must document the availability of private financial resources that can contribute to program delivery, reinforcing the program model of combining federal assistance with private support.
The performance period highlighted in the announcement covers services delivered to refugees admitted during the fiscal year window of October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010. Administrative details provided in the source data include the Funding Opportunity Number PRM-A-10-CA-DOM-05212009-RP and the CFDA listing 19.510 (U.S. Refugee Admissions Program). The opportunity was posted on May 21, 2009, with an application closing date of July 21, 2009, and it was later archived on August 20, 2009.
