Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) offered this discretionary grant opportunity, titled "Increasing Cohesive Civil Society Action on Human Rights and Citizen Security in Honduras," to support a 24-month project focused on improving respect for human rights in Honduras. The core idea is to strengthen the role of Honduran civil society organizations (CSOs) so they can participate effectively and constructively in public security and police reform efforts. Rather than positioning CSOs only as outside critics, the project is designed to build their ability to engage the Government of Honduras (GOH) as credible partners in identifying the country's main citizen security threats and in shaping and monitoring proposed government solutions, with a clear human rights lens.
Funding was structured as a grant under CFDA 19.345 (International Programs to Support Democracy, Human Rights and Labor). DRL anticipated making up to 10 awards, with individual award amounts expected to fall between $500,000 (floor) and $700,000 (ceiling). Cost sharing or matching was not required, which typically lowers the barrier for qualified organizations that may not have significant unrestricted funds to contribute.
Eligibility covered a range of organizations but emphasized strong organizational capacity and relevant experience. Applicants could include U.S. nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding institutions of higher education), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and other entities as allowed by the full announcement. More specifically, organizations were expected to be either a U.S. nonprofit meeting the requirements of 26 USC 501(c)(3), a comparable internationally headquartered organization, or an international organization. DRL also required demonstrated experience administering successful projects, preferably similar in nature, and noted it could request extra background from groups without prior federal grant experience. Those newer applicants could face limited funding on a pilot basis. Another key requirement was having existing partnerships in Honduras, or the demonstrated capacity to build active partnerships with local entities and stakeholders, including nongovernmental organizations and industry, which signals that DRL wanted projects grounded in local relationships and practical coordination.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on November 5, 2012, with an original and current closing date of December 7, 2012, and it was archived on January 6, 2013. The funding opportunity number was DRLA DRLAQM 13 005. For technical access issues related to the full announcement, applicants were directed to the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, support@grants.gov), available 24/7 except federal holidays.
Overall, the grant was aimed at building a more cohesive and capable civil society presence in Honduras that can engage directly in the design and implementation of citizen security and police reform in ways that strengthen accountability and improve human rights outcomes.
