Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2014 Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for NGO programs benefiting refugees in Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and Tanzania is a discretionary U.S. government grant opportunity administered by the Department of State, Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM). It is released under Funding Opportunity Number PRM PRMOAPAF 14 010 and is categorized under CFDA 19.517, Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for Africa. The FOA is intended to support overseas refugee assistance activities, with programming focused on refugee populations in the three named countries. Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which generally means PRM expects a more active role in oversight and coordination than in a standard grant.
A central feature of this opportunity is its approach to project duration and multi-year planning. PRM will consider proposals that describe activities spanning 12 to 24 months, and it explicitly encourages multi-year proposals for work in refugee settlements in Uganda and refugee camps in Tanzania. However, that multi-year encouragement does not apply to activities in the DRC, indicating PRM did not want multi-year planning proposed for DRC programming under this particular announcement. Even when applicants submit a multi-year proposal for Uganda or Tanzania, PRM makes clear that actual awards will not exceed 12 months in duration at a time. In practice, applicants can propose a longer-term plan (up to 24 months from the proposed start date), but they should expect funding to be issued in one-year increments, with the possibility of future funding dependent on several conditions.
Continuation beyond the initial 12-month period is not automatic. To be considered for additional funding after year one, the recipient must submit a noncompeting continuation application. PRM states that continued funding is contingent upon the availability of funds, strong program performance, and evidence that the needs being addressed still exist and justify continued support. The FOA also notes that activities and budgets submitted in year one can be revised or updated in each successive year, which signals that PRM anticipates changing circumstances in refugee settings and allows implementers to adapt workplans and costs accordingly during the continuation process.
PRM also includes an important caution about long-term financing: awarding funds for one year does not imply any promise of funding in future years. The announcement emphasizes that PRM makes no representations that it will continue supporting a project beyond the initial period and encourages applicants to pursue a broad donor base to strengthen long-term sustainability. This is essentially a reminder that even well-performing programs may not be renewed if funding priorities shift or resources are constrained, so organizations should avoid building plans that depend solely on PRM support.
In terms of funding size and limits, the FOA lists an award ceiling of $1,000,000 and an award floor of $0, suggesting PRM may fund a wide range of project sizes up to the stated maximum. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for organizations that do not have access to significant unrestricted funds or co-financing. The opportunity was posted on April 10, 2014, with an original and final closing date of May 13, 2014, and it was archived on June 12, 2014, indicating it was a time-bound competition during that period.
Eligibility is aimed primarily at nonprofit organizations, including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in both cases, based on the eligibility lines provided). The FOA also addresses international organizations separately: UN agencies and other public international organizations are instructed not to apply through Grants.gov. Instead, they are expected to contact the relevant PRM Program Officer by the closing date if seeking funding under this announcement. This reflects a common PRM practice where certain international entities coordinate funding requests through direct engagement rather than the standard electronic application portal.
For applicant support and access issues, the notice points to the Grants.gov Contact Center as the primary help resource for difficulties obtaining the full announcement electronically, with 24/7 availability except federal holidays. Overall, the FOA lays out a structure that encourages medium-term planning for Uganda and Tanzania, restricts that multi-year emphasis for DRC activities, caps individual award amounts at up to $1 million, and uses one-year cooperative agreements with the possibility of continuation based on performance, need, and available funding.
