Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of State, through the Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs (OES) and its Office of Environmental Quality and Transboundary Issues (EQT), issued a Request for Applications for a single cooperative agreement project titled "Public Participation in Environmental Protection." The core aim of the opportunity is to strengthen how civil society participates in environmental protection and to expand meaningful public involvement in environmental decision-making processes. The intended results are practical and outcome-focused: stronger environmental protection on the ground, improved enforcement of environmental laws, and greater sustainability across Central America and the Dominican Republic.
This was a discretionary funding opportunity in the Environment and Natural Resources activity area, funded with FY2012 Economic Support Funds (ESF), with funding explicitly noted as subject to availability. The program anticipated making one award, reflecting a preference for a consolidated implementation approach rather than multiple smaller grants. The estimated total funding was $446,000, with an award ceiling of $446,000 and an award floor listed as $1, meaning proposals could technically request less than the full amount, but the maximum available was capped at the total funding level. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligible applicants were primarily nonprofit and public-interest entities capable of carrying out regional or multi-country environmental governance work. Eligibility included U.S. nonprofit/nongovernmental organizations recognized under section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. tax code, L3Cs, foreign nonprofit organizations, educational institutions (including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education), and public international organizations. This mix of eligible entities suggests the Department of State was open to implementers with policy, legal, community engagement, and capacity-building strengths, including organizations with a strong regional footprint or specialized expertise in public participation mechanisms and environmental compliance.
The opportunity was identified under Funding Opportunity Number OES OTE 13 006 and CFDA 19.017 (Environmental and Scientific Partnerships and Programs). It was posted on June 4, 2013, with a closing date of July 9, 2013, and later archived on August 8, 2013. For applicants needing access or technical assistance, the listing directed them to standard federal platform support channels including Grants.gov and GrantSolutions.gov customer support.
