Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2013 Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) titled "FY 2013 Funding Opportunity Announcement for NGO programs benefiting displaced Syrians in Jordan and Lebanon" (Funding Opportunity Number PRM-PRMOAPNE-13-001) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning PRM expects an active partnership role during implementation rather than a purely hands-off grant. The assistance is categorized under Overseas Refugee Assistance, with CFDA number 19.519 (Overseas Refugee Assistance Program for Near East and South Asia). The opportunity was posted on November 16, 2012, and closed on December 3, 2012, with an archive date of January 2, 2013. The ceiling for an individual award is $1,500,000, there is no stated minimum award (award floor is $0), and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
PRM makes clear that it will prioritize proposals that align with the UN Regional Response Plan (RRP) for the Syria crisis and that directly advance PRM's core mandate around protection, humanitarian assistance, and durable solutions for refugees and conflict-affected populations. A central eligibility and program design requirement is that any proposed project must have a direct beneficiary base composed of at least 50 percent displaced Syrians located in Jordan and/or Lebanon. Proposals may focus on programming in either one country or operate across both Jordan and Lebanon, but in all cases the beneficiary targeting threshold must be met.
To be considered, NGOs must be participating in the UN Regional Response Plan framework and must be legally registered with the Government of Jordan and/or the Government of Lebanon (depending on where activities will occur) by the program start date. The FOA emphasizes that applicants should clearly explain their specific role within the UN RRP in the main narrative of the proposal and demonstrate that they have the ability to operate in the geographic areas where activities are proposed. Applicants are also expected to attach documentation that verifies their registration status as part of the submission package, making registration and RRP alignment not just preferences, but practical gatekeeping requirements for eligibility and review.
PRM also narrows the sectoral priorities depending on whether Syrians are being served in host communities or in camp settings. For programs aimed at Syrians living in host communities in Jordan and Lebanon, PRM indicates it is looking for proposals that address health services, psychosocial support, protection activities, shelter support, information sharing/communications, and/or education. For programs operating in UN-managed camps in Jordan, PRM highlights a more specific focus: information sharing/communications and protection. In addition to describing activities, the FOA expects proposals to show how the applicant will coordinate with other actors and how referrals will work in practice, including clear referral mechanisms to both local and international organizations. This reflects PRM's expectation that funded projects will plug into the broader humanitarian response architecture and avoid operating in isolation.
Eligibility for applicants is framed around nonprofit organizations, including nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in both cases, as stated in the listing). The announcement also draws a line on how international organizations should apply: UN agencies and other public international organizations are instructed not to submit through Grants.gov for this FOA. Instead, they are expected to contact the relevant PRM program officer by the closing date if they seek support for programming connected to this announcement.
Finally, the FOA provides basic technical support direction for applicants who have trouble accessing the full announcement, directing them to the Grants.gov Contact Center (phone 1-800-518-4726, email support@grants.gov). Overall, the opportunity is structured to fund NGO-led humanitarian programming for displaced Syrians in Jordan and Lebanon that is integrated into the UN-led regional plan, legally authorized to operate in-country, strongly protection-oriented, and designed with clear coordination and referral linkages to other service providers.
