Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2013 Funding Opportunity Announcement for NGO Programs Benefiting Syrian Refugees in Turkey (Funding Opportunity Number PRM PRMOAPEU 13 003) is a discretionary grant competition issued by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM). The opportunity is focused on overseas refugee assistance (CFDA 19.520) and is aimed specifically at supporting Syrian refugees living in Turkish towns and cities outside formal refugee camps. PRM is looking for proposals that align closely with its core priorities of refugee protection and life-saving or stability-oriented assistance in urban and peri-urban settings where displaced Syrians may have limited access to services, face heightened protection risks, and be harder to reach through camp-based aid structures.
Funding under this announcement is provided through a cooperative agreement, which generally means PRM anticipates a more active role in program oversight and coordination than in a standard grant. Proposed projects are expected to operate in strong coordination with Turkish government authorities and UNHCR, and also to harmonize efforts with relevant UN agencies and other NGOs working in the same geographic areas and technical sectors. The announcement stresses coordination as essential, reflecting an intent to avoid duplication, fill critical gaps, and ensure programming complements national and international response plans for the Syria refugee crisis in Turkey.
PRM identifies three main sector priorities for funding: health, protection, and education. Within these broad sectors, the full announcement (linked in the opportunity) reportedly lists multiple subsectors, indicating PRM is open to a range of targeted interventions as long as they demonstrably benefit Syrian refugees living outside camps and meet PRM's strategic objectives. In practice, this kind of sector framing typically supports activities such as expanding access to basic health services and referrals, strengthening protection case management and safeguarding for vulnerable groups, and improving educational access or support services for refugee children and youth, though applicants would need to align their specific design to the detailed subsector guidance in the complete notice.
The funding parameters indicate relatively substantial awards, with a minimum (floor) of $500,000 and a maximum (ceiling) of $2,000,000 per award. The opportunity states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute their own funds or third-party match as a condition of eligibility, although leveraging other resources can still be beneficial when demonstrating feasibility and scale.
Eligibility is geared toward nonprofit organizations, including nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also other than institutions of higher education). The notice also references additional eligibility details in the full text. A notable procedural point is that International Organizations, including UN agencies and other Public International Organizations, are instructed not to submit through Grants.gov; instead, they should contact the relevant PRM Program Officer by the closing date if they seek PRM funding for programming aligned with this announcement.
Key dates show the announcement was posted on June 20, 2013 (created June 19, 2013), with an application deadline of July 22, 2013, and an archive date of August 21, 2013. Applicants seeking the complete requirements, sector subsectors, and submission instructions are directed to the full announcement link.
