Opportunity Summary:
The IFRP 2014 Request for Applications is a discretionary grant opportunity issued by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) under the International Food Relief Partnership (IFRP). The program is designed to support international food assistance efforts by enabling the production, stockpiling, transportation, delivery, and distribution of shelf-stable, prepackaged food products. This specific RFA is focused on the transportation, delivery, and distribution side of the program, meaning applicants are expected to propose projects that move and deliver already-available IFRP food products to intended recipients, rather than proposing to develop new food products or conduct unrelated nutrition programming. The activity category is Food and Nutrition, and the assistance is offered as a grant.
USAID anticipated making up to 16 awards through this funding round, with an estimated total program funding level of $2,500,000. Individual awards could be as large as $150,000, and there was no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0), which suggests projects of varying sizes could be considered depending on need, feasibility, and alignment with program objectives. Cost sharing or matching was not required, lowering the barrier to participation for organizations that may not be able to provide significant non-federal contributions. The listing is associated with CFDA number 98.001, which covers USAID foreign assistance programs overseas.
Eligibility was limited to U.S.-based nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. While the broader IFRP framework references U.S. nonprofits and Public International Organizations (PIO), the eligibility field provided for this opportunity emphasizes 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than universities). In practical terms, applicants would be expected to demonstrate they can manage international logistics and distribution responsibly, including coordinating transport, ensuring delivery to target locations, and overseeing distribution in a way that meets humanitarian objectives and accountability expectations tied to U.S. government-funded commodities.
The opportunity was posted and created on March 21, 2014. Applications were due on April 23, 2014, by 12:00 pm Eastern Time (Washington, D.C. local time). The notice indicates the same date and time for both the original and current closing dates, implying no deadline extensions were made. The archive date was May 23, 2014, reflecting when the opportunity would no longer be active for new submissions on the posting platform.
For applicant support and questions, the point of contact listed was Benjamin C. Vogler, Program Manager for the IFRP 2014 Request for Applications, particularly for anyone who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically.
