Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Embassy in New Delhi, through its Public Affairs Section, offered a discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NDRFP14 04) to support a public advocacy campaign aimed at countering violence against women in India. The campaign was expected to focus specifically on two core problem areas: domestic violence and sexual assault. Rather than funding direct service delivery alone, the central purpose was to shape and elevate public discourse in a way that helps sustain and broaden action against violence, encouraging continued engagement and responsibility across society.
At the heart of the opportunity was the expectation that the selected organization would design and implement a communications and advocacy effort capable of influencing a wide mix of stakeholders. The embassy explicitly highlighted the need to motivate groups such as policymakers, members of the legal profession, activists, and youth leaders, while leaving room for additional audiences that play a role in prevention, accountability, and cultural change. In practical terms, the grant was oriented toward changing narratives, increasing awareness, strengthening public commitment, and keeping the issue visible and urgent for decision-makers and community influencers.
The award mechanism was a cooperative agreement, meaning the project would likely be carried out with substantial involvement or coordination with the U.S. Mission to India rather than operating entirely independently. The activity category was listed under education/public diplomacy programming (CFDA 19.040), reflecting an emphasis on outreach, public engagement, and advocacy-based approaches rather than purely research or law-enforcement interventions. A critical success factor identified in the announcement was the applicant's demonstrated expertise, capacity, and cultural sensitivity to build an advocacy campaign that is both effective and appropriate for the Indian context, recognizing the complexity and risk of harm that can come from poorly designed messaging on trauma and gender-based violence.
In terms of funding, the opportunity anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $60,000. Proposed budgets were expected to fall within a typical range, with an award floor of $50,000 and an award ceiling of $80,000. Cost sharing or matching funds were not required, which reduces barriers for organizations that may not be able to contribute significant non-federal resources.
Eligibility was limited to certain types of organizations, including U.S. nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than higher education institutions) as well as public, state-controlled, and private institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted on May 13, 2014, with an application deadline of June 13, 2014, and it was later archived on July 13, 2014. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact the Grant Applications Manager at the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi.
