Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2012 Funding Opportunity Announcement for the Reception and Placement (R&P) Program is a U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) competitive funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PRM A 12 CA DOM 050311; CFDA 19.510) intended to support the initial resettlement of refugees arriving in the United States through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program. The program is designed to help ensure newly arrived refugees are received safely and effectively in their first days and weeks in the country and are positioned to move toward economic self-sufficiency as quickly as possible, consistent with the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). For purposes of this announcement, the term "refugee" follows INA section 207(c) and also includes certain individuals whose eligibility for resettlement assistance has been extended by statute.
PRM administers the R&P Program by partnering with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and providing partial financial support through cooperative agreements. The expectation is that participating organizations will not rely on PRM funds alone; instead, they must blend federal support with their own existing and projected private resources to deliver required reception and placement services during the performance period. In practical terms, PRM is looking for strong national-level resettlement organizations that can manage a network of local affiliates and deliver consistent, high-quality case management and core reception services across multiple U.S. sites.
This opportunity was posted on May 3, 2011, with proposals due by July 5, 2011 at 12:00 p.m. (noon) EDT. Late submissions were not accepted. The proposed program start date is October 1, 2011, and the project period runs through September 30, 2012. While organizations may operate multi-year programming, PRM made clear that funding is awarded on a yearly competitive basis; recipients must re-compete each year, and an award in one year does not imply renewal or continued funding in subsequent years. PRM explicitly encouraged applicants to cultivate a broad donor base to support longer-term sustainability.
Awards were to be made as Cooperative Agreements, reflecting PRM’s expectation of substantial involvement in program direction or oversight compared with a standard grant. The announcement did not specify an award ceiling or floor in the summary fields provided. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated, but applicants are expected to demonstrate meaningful private financial resources that can be used to complement PRM support in delivering services.
Eligibility is limited to well-established nonprofit organizations meeting specific capacity thresholds. Applicants must be 501(c)(3) nonprofits that have been in operation for at least three full years, must operate in multiple locations across the United States, and must be experienced social service providers with demonstrated case management expertise. They also must show experience managing a network of affiliates that provide reception and placement services or similar services to refugees or other migrant populations. In addition, applicants must document the availability of private financial resources to contribute to the program, reinforcing the program model that federal support is partial and must be augmented by nongovernmental resources.
PRM indicated that FY 2011 participation was neither required nor a guarantee of selection for FY 2012. In other words, prior participation could help demonstrate capacity and performance, but it did not ensure continued funding; new applicants could compete if they met the selection criteria and could show they were capable of delivering required services at scale. For applicants seeking the complete requirements, PRM directed them to the full announcement materials on Grants.gov and provided a program contact for questions or for help accessing the documents: Irving Jones, Program Officer, at 202-453-9248 or JonesJI2@state.gov.
