Opportunity Summary:
This FY 2014 Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), numbered PRM PRMOAPWH 14 003, was issued by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) to support NGO programming that benefits stateless persons in two specific locations: The Bahamas and the Dominican Republic. The opportunity sits under PRM's overseas refugee assistance mission and is tied to CFDA 19.518, "Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for Western Hemisphere." In practical terms, PRM is looking for on-the-ground, protection-oriented projects that directly address the risks and barriers faced by people who lack nationality, with a clear emphasis on helping stateless individuals navigate legal and administrative systems.
A central requirement of this FOA is that any proposed project must serve a defined beneficiary population that includes at least 50 stateless persons. This threshold reflects PRM's mandate and effectively screens out proposals that are purely research-based, broadly preventative without identifiable stateless beneficiaries, or too small to demonstrate meaningful direct assistance. Within that framework, PRM signals three priority areas for project design: legal assistance, documentation assistance, and mapping. Legal assistance would typically include counseling and representation related to nationality, civil registration, residency, and other legal processes that can determine a person's ability to regularize status or access basic rights. Documentation assistance points to hands-on support helping individuals obtain or replace identity documents and civil records, and to overcome procedural barriers that keep stateless people from being recognized in practice. Mapping refers to identifying, profiling, or otherwise developing a clearer picture of stateless populations and their needs, often to improve targeting, referrals, and the overall evidence base for protection interventions.
The funding instrument for this opportunity is a cooperative agreement, which usually indicates a more engaged relationship with the funder than a standard grant, including potential ongoing coordination or substantial involvement by PRM during implementation. The award ceiling is listed as $100,000, with no award floor specified (shown as $0). Cost sharing or matching is not required, which lowers the barrier to entry for organizations that may not have access to significant non-federal co-financing.
Eligibility is oriented toward non-governmental, nonprofit applicants, including both U.S.-based nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) and certain nonprofit entities without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding universities). The FOA also clarifies a key procedural point for international organizations: UN agencies and other public international organizations are not expected to apply through Grants.gov for this announcement. Instead, those entities are instructed to contact the relevant PRM Program Officer by or before the closing date if they seek funding aligned with the announcement.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on May 19, 2014, with an original closing date of June 20, 2014, later extended to a current closing date of June 27, 2014. The archive date is listed as July 27, 2014, indicating when the listing was expected to be removed from active display. For technical issues accessing the announcement, the listing directs applicants to the Grants.gov Contact Center, which provides 24/7 support (excluding federal holidays) via phone at 1-800-518-4726 or by email at support@grants.gov.
Overall, the FOA is a relatively small, highly targeted PRM funding opportunity meant to produce practical protection results for stateless people in The Bahamas and the Dominican Republic, with a strong preference for direct legal and documentation support, backed by credible mapping of who is affected and how services will reach them.
