Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) announced a discretionary grant opportunity titled International Labor Programs (Funding Opportunity Number DRL-0910-LABOR-022811) focused on projects that strengthen civil society and advance labor rights in a specific set of priority countries across several regions. The opportunity is tied to CFDA 19.345, International Programs to Support Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, and it invites proposals aimed at improving labor-rights conditions and reinforcing the role, capacity, and resilience of civil society actors working on worker protections and related rights-based issues.
The geographic scope is clearly defined and limited to targeted countries in multiple regions: Africa (Democratic Republic of Congo), the Near East (Jordan), East Asia and Pacific (Indonesia and the Philippines), South Asia (Maldives and Pakistan), and the Western Hemisphere (Colombia). Proposals are expected to be designed for and implemented in these locations, with the overarching purpose of promoting labor rights and supporting civil society institutions and organizations that contribute to those goals.
Funding is offered through a grant mechanism, with an anticipated award size ranging from a floor of $250,000 to a ceiling of $900,000 per award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility or competitiveness. While the funding activity category is listed as "Other," the clarification indicates the focus is specifically on international labor programming under DRL's democracy, human rights, and labor mandate.
Eligibility is limited to U.S.-based nonprofit organizations that meet the requirements of Internal Revenue Code 26 USC 501(c)(3), as well as comparable internationally headquartered organizations or international organizations. In practice, this means the competition is geared toward established nonprofit or international entities with the organizational capacity to carry out rights-based programming abroad, particularly in the labor and civil society space.
