Opportunity Summary:
The FY14.PMWRA.Angola.HMA.RFA3 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PM PMWRA 14 033) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). The purpose of the award is to support humanitarian mine action (HMA) activities in Angola, which typically refers to work that reduces the threats posed by landmines and other explosive hazards so communities can move safely, resume farming and trade, access schools and clinics, and allow broader recovery and development efforts to proceed.
This is a grant (not a contract) under CFDA 19.800, Weapons Removal and Abatement, and it is categorized under "Other" with the clarification listed as CWD (commonly used shorthand in this sector for conventional weapons destruction and related risk-reduction efforts). The program anticipated making up to two awards. Individual awards could be as large as $2,500,000, while the minimum award amount was listed as $0, which generally signals that the funder did not commit to a specific minimum per award and may scale awards based on merit, available funding, and program design. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide a financial match, although organizations sometimes still include leveraged resources as a strength depending on project design.
Eligible applicants included nonprofit organizations both with and without IRS 501(c)(3) status, as long as they were not institutions of higher education. In practice, that eligibility language points to humanitarian and demining-focused NGOs as the primary applicant pool, including organizations capable of planning and implementing field operations and meeting U.S. government compliance, reporting, and financial management expectations.
The timeline for this opportunity shows it was posted and created on July 11, 2014, with an application deadline of August 11, 2014. The opportunity was later archived on September 10, 2014, which typically indicates the submission window had closed and the notice was no longer active for new applications.
For access issues related to the full announcement, applicants were directed to the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, available 24/7 except federal holidays) or support@grants.gov. This reflects that applications and official guidance were expected to be accessed and submitted through the Grants.gov system, consistent with standard U.S. federal grantmaking procedures.
