Opportunity Summary:
The IFRP 2011 Request For Applications is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) under the Office of Food for Peace. It supports the International Food Relief Partnership (IFRP), a program focused on getting shelf-stable, prepackaged foods to people in need by funding the logistics side of emergency food assistance. In practical terms, this RFA is aimed at proposals that cover the transportation, delivery, and distribution of IFRP food products, helping move these goods from where they are staged to where they are needed in a specific country of operation. The program is tied to the Food for Peace Emergency Program (CFDA 98.008), and awards are made under authority provided by the Food for Peace Act.
Eligibility is limited to U.S. nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status (and are tax-exempt under 501(a)) as well as Public International Organizations (PIOs). The RFA also places a firm limit on submissions: an organization may submit no more than two separate grant applications total. Each application must be narrowly scoped to a single IFRP product for a single country, meaning applicants cannot combine multiple products or multiple countries into one proposal under this competition. Cost sharing or matching is not required, which lowers the barrier to entry for qualified nonprofits that may not have flexible funds to contribute.
The funding instrument is a grant, and the opportunity sits within the Food and Nutrition activity category. USAID expected to make about 16 awards. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $125,000, and the minimum (award floor) is listed as $0, indicating there is no stated minimum request size, though awards would still be based on program needs and the strength of the proposal. Key dates include a posting date of February 18, 2011, with the application deadline (closing date) set for May 18, 2011; the opportunity was later archived on June 17, 2011.
Applications had a very specific submission process. Applicants were required to send one unbound hard copy to USAID's Office of Food for Peace via AMEX International at: Attn: 2011 IFRP Applications, 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Ronald Reagan Building, North Tower, Suite 270, Washington, DC 20004. In addition, applicants had to email one electronic copy in Microsoft Word format to IFRP@amexdc2.com. USAID indicated it would confirm receipt of proposals within two business days after arrival and would forward a copy of the proposal to the relevant USAID Mission or American embassy in the proposed country of operation, which signals that in-country review and coordination were part of the process.
Awards under this RFA are governed by multiple federal and USAID-specific regulatory frameworks. The announcement references the authorizing statute (section 208(a)(2) of the Food for Peace Act, 7 U.S.C. 1726b(a)(2)) and notes that awards will be made consistent with applicable USAID regulations and requirements, including 22 C.F.R. 211 (often associated with eligibility and rules for commodities and related assistance), 22 C.F.R. 216 (environmental procedures), 22 C.F.R. 226 (administration of assistance awards to nonprofit recipients), along with relevant OMB Circulars and USAID Standard Provisions. Together, these references indicate that grantees should be prepared for standard U.S. government compliance obligations tied to procurement, financial management, reporting, and other award conditions.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement or with general questions, the listed contact was Benjamin Vogler, Program Officer, at 202-962-0048, with "IFRP Program Inquiries" noted as the support channel.
