Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of Justice announced a discretionary grant opportunity to fund public education programs focused on the anti-discrimination provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), specifically 8 U.S.C. 1324b. The program is run through the Department of Justice's Office of Special Counsel for Immigration Related Unfair Employment Practices (OSC) and listed under the Bureau of Justice Assistance. The main purpose is to expand awareness and understanding of immigration-related employment discrimination: what rights workers and job applicants have, what responsibilities employers carry, and how the law applies in real workplace situations. In practical terms, the grants are meant to support outreach and education that helps prevent discrimination and encourages compliance with the INA's anti-discrimination rules.
Funding is intended for organizations that can design and deliver cost-effective public education campaigns. DOJ anticipates making multiple competitive awards, with individual grant amounts expected to range from $35,000 to $100,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute additional non-federal funds to receive an award. Because the competition emphasizes capacity and effectiveness, strong applications would be those that clearly show an ability to plan, implement, and manage outreach activities that reach the intended audiences and produce measurable results.
The target audiences for education under this opportunity include workers, employers, and the general public, with a clear emphasis on reaching potential victims of immigration-related unfair employment practices as well as employers who must follow the law. The announcement highlights a need for programming that explains both sides of the equation: the protections available to individuals who may face discrimination and the legal obligations employers have when hiring, verifying work authorization, and making employment decisions. Proposals are expected to demonstrate a practical approach to informing people about the INA anti-discrimination provision, including the types of conduct that may violate the law and how concerns can be addressed.
Eligibility is intentionally broad. Any organization may apply, including labor and immigrant organizations, businesses and employer associations, public service and community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, colleges and universities (public or private), and state or local government agencies. The solicitation also explicitly welcomes proposals from diverse organizations that already provide information services to employers, workers, and/or potential victims of discrimination, signaling that applicants with existing community trust, established networks, or experience delivering public information may be especially well positioned.
Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Number BJA-2009-2168 and the title Public Education Programs Concerning the Anti-discrimination Provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The opportunity was posted on March 25, 2009, with an application deadline of April 26, 2009, and an archive date of May 26, 2009. The funding activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the instrument type is a grant.
