Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2014 Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) titled "FY 2014 Funding Opportunity Announcement for NGO programs benefiting refugees and IDPs in Bosnia and Herzegovina" (Funding Opportunity Number PRM-PRMOAPEU-14-002) is a discretionary U.S. government grant opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM). The funding is offered through a cooperative agreement under the PRM overseas refugee assistance portfolio (CFDA 19.520, Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for Europe). The overall purpose is to support programs that provide protection, assistance, and sustainable solutions for people affected by conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina, specifically refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs).
A central eligibility and design requirement is that PRM will only consider projects that serve a target population of at least 50 refugees or IDPs. In other words, proposals must be clearly built around a meaningful refugee/IDP beneficiary base rather than general community programming, and applicants should be prepared to define how beneficiaries are identified and counted, and how services will directly reach this group. PRM also constrains the thematic focus: proposals must concentrate on at least one of three sectors, which are capacity building, livelihoods, or protection. While a project can potentially include more than one of these sectors, it must be anchored in at least one of them with clear objectives, activities, and outcomes tied to that sector.
Another major programmatic condition is alignment with the Regional Housing Programs (RHP). Every proposal is expected to explain how the planned activities and objectives will support RHP efforts. Practically, this means applicants should demonstrate a clear linkage to housing-related durable solutions for refugees and IDPs in the region, such as helping households move toward stable accommodation, improving access to services that enable successful housing integration, strengthening institutions or local partners involved in housing and reintegration, or addressing protection barriers that prevent people from safely accessing or sustaining housing solutions. Even if the primary activity is protection, livelihoods, or capacity building, the proposal must still make a convincing case for how it complements and reinforces the broader RHP framework.
Funding levels are capped. The award ceiling is USD 200,000 in PRM-requested funding, and proposals cannot request more than that amount. There is no stated award floor (listed as 0), which indicates PRM is not setting a minimum request amount, but applicants still need to propose a realistic budget that matches the scope of work. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to provide matching funds, though they may still describe other resources or complementary funding if relevant. A specific budget rule also applies: at least USD 50,000 of the total project budget must be dedicated to capacity building objectives. This is a hard threshold, meaning even proposals emphasizing livelihoods or protection must allocate a minimum of USD 50,000 to capacity building components and articulate what those capacity building results will be (for example, strengthening local service providers, municipal systems, civil society organizations, referral networks, case management capacity, monitoring systems, or other institutional capabilities that improve refugee/IDP outcomes over time).
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, both those with U.S. 501(c)(3) status and those without 501(c)(3) status (in both cases, other than institutions of higher education), as well as other entities referenced in the FOA. International Organizations (including UN agencies and other Public International Organizations) are handled differently: they are instructed not to submit through Grants.gov for this announcement and instead to contact the relevant PRM Program Officer by or before the closing date if they seek funding for activities aligned with the FOA.
Key dates for this specific FOA were tied to FY 2014 timing. The opportunity was posted and created on June 5, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 7, 2014. The archive date is August 6, 2014, indicating it is no longer open for applications, but the details remain useful as a reference for PRM priorities and requirements for similar future opportunities.
In summary, this PRM funding opportunity supported targeted NGO programming for refugees and IDPs in Bosnia and Herzegovina, required a minimum beneficiary size of 50 refugees/IDPs, limited project themes to capacity building, livelihoods, and/or protection, required a clear connection to the Regional Housing Programs, capped PRM funding requests at USD 200,000, and mandated that at least USD 50,000 of the budget be devoted specifically to capacity building objectives. For applicants, the practical implication is that a competitive proposal would need to show direct refugee/IDP impact at sufficient scale, a strong capacity building spine (both programmatically and financially), measurable results in one or more of the specified sectors, and a credible explanation of how the work strengthens or accelerates RHP-related durable housing and reintegration outcomes.
