Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2014 Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for NGO programs benefiting refugees in South Sudan is a discretionary funding opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM). The announcement is focused on supporting humanitarian assistance for refugees who are currently in South Sudan and who originated from the Central African Republic, Ethiopia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Sudan. PRM signals that it will prioritize proposals that most closely align with the bureau's stated priorities and that are designed to fill identifiable programming gaps affecting these refugee populations, meaning applicants are expected to show a clear understanding of unmet needs on the ground and explain how their activities will address those gaps in a practical, coordinated way.
Funding under this FOA is provided through a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates a closer working relationship between the funder and the recipient than a standard grant, including potential ongoing engagement or coordination with PRM during implementation. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," with the clarification that the program falls under "Overseas Refugee Assistance," and it is associated with CFDA number 19.517, Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for Africa. The FOA does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which lowers a common barrier to entry and allows organizations to propose fully funded program budgets as long as the costs are reasonable, well-justified, and aligned with the activities described.
The award size range indicates that PRM anticipated making awards from a minimum (floor) of $50,000 up to a maximum (ceiling) of $1,500,000. This range suggests the bureau was open to both smaller, targeted interventions and larger, multi-component programs, depending on demonstrated needs, the applicant's capacity, and how well the proposal addressed priority gaps. As with many humanitarian opportunities, the competitive edge would likely come from proposals that are realistic about operational constraints in South Sudan, clearly define the refugee communities served, and present measurable objectives and credible monitoring approaches.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on March 4, 2014, created on March 5, 2014, and had an original and current closing date of April 3, 2014. The archive date is May 3, 2014, indicating that the application window was about one month and that materials were later archived after the close. Organizations planning to apply would have needed to complete all submission requirements by April 3, 2014, and ensure compliance with Grants.gov procedures and deadlines.
Eligibility is aimed primarily at nonprofit organizations, including both U.S.-based 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). A key procedural note is included for international organizations: UN agencies and other public international organizations are instructed not to submit through Grants.gov. Instead, those entities are directed to contact the designated PRM Program Officer by the closing date if they seek funding for activities relevant to the announcement. This reflects a separate engagement and funding pathway for UN and similar international bodies, distinct from the Grants.gov submission route used by NGOs and eligible nonprofits.
The issuing agency is PRM, and the core program intent is straightforward: support NGO-led humanitarian programming that improves protection and assistance outcomes for the specified refugee populations in South Sudan, with proposal selection guided by PRM's priorities and by the extent to which proposed activities close existing service gaps. For applicants needing technical help accessing the announcement or navigating electronic submission, the FOA directs them to the Grants.gov Contact Center, available 24/7 (excluding federal holidays), by phone at 1-800-518-4726 or by email at support@grants.gov.
