Opportunity Summary:

The G/TIP FY 2010 International Programs to Combat Trafficking in Persons in Haiti grant opportunity was a U.S. Department of State funding competition run by the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (G/TIP) to support anti-trafficking work connected to the post-earthquake context in Haiti. After the January 2010 earthquake and the subsequent U.S. legislation signed on July 29, 2010 that appropriated funds for emergency relief, rehabilitation, and reconstruction, G/TIP issued this solicitation to channel part of that response into targeted projects that prevent human trafficking, protect victims, and strengthen law enforcement and justice-sector action against traffickers. The overall intent was to fund practical programs that reduce vulnerability to trafficking during a period of instability and displacement, while also improving the ability of authorities and partners to identify trafficking cases and pursue investigations and prosecutions, including work that involves Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

Funding was offered under either a cooperative agreement or a grant, and it fell under CFDA 19.019 (International Programs to Combat Human Trafficking). The announcement described awards ranging from a minimum of $50,000 up to a ceiling of $750,000, with project periods of up to three years. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowered the barrier for organizations that might not have substantial unrestricted funds available to contribute alongside federal dollars. The program was categorized as discretionary funding, meaning awards would be made competitively based on proposal quality and alignment with the solicitation requirements rather than by formula.

The opportunity encouraged applications from organizations with experience working in Haiti, reflecting the need for local knowledge, operational relationships, and the ability to implement programs effectively in a challenging environment. Eligible applicants included a wide range of entity types such as U.S.-based nonprofits and NGOs, foreign NGOs, public international organizations, and institutions of higher education. The eligibility list in the source data also referenced additional organizational categories, including certain nonprofit types (with and without 501(c)(3) status), public and state-controlled universities, private universities, small businesses, and some for-profit organizations, as well as Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). In practice, the solicitation emphasized applicants with demonstrated Haiti-relevant experience and credible anti-trafficking programming capacity.

Programmatically, G/TIP stated that funds would support prevention and protection activities as well as efforts that reinforce investigations and prosecutions. Prevention and protection typically refer to initiatives such as awareness and outreach, risk reduction for vulnerable populations, systems for identifying and referring victims, shelter and support services, and training for frontline responders. The investigations and prosecutions focus signals interest in strengthening the justice response, such as building capacity among police, border or migration officials, prosecutors, and judges; improving coordination across agencies; and supporting case development that can lead to successful legal action against traffickers. The mention of both Haiti and the Dominican Republic indicates an understanding of cross-border dynamics and the need to address trafficking patterns that may involve movement between the two countries.

All proposals that met the technical submission requirements were to be reviewed by a panel with subject-matter expertise in human trafficking programming and specific expertise related to Haiti. This review structure suggests that applications were expected to be technically compliant and also substantively strong, with clear objectives, sound implementation plans, and credible monitoring approaches suited to the Haitian context.

Administratively, the funding opportunity was posted on August 10, 2010, and applications had to be submitted electronically through either Grants.gov or GrantSolutions.gov. The deadline was 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Monday, August 30, 2010. The opportunity was later archived on September 29, 2010. For applicant support, the announcement provided a program contact (Mark Forstrom at ForstromMA@state.gov) for questions about solicitation requirements and directed technical questions about Grants.gov submissions to the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726 or support@grants.gov), available 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. EST except federal holidays.
