Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Statement of Interest Fostering Civil, Political, and Labor Rights in Cuba," was issued by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) as a discretionary grant competition focused on democracy and human rights programming in Cuba. DRL is seeking Statements of Interest (SOIs) from qualified organizations that want to run programs designed to advance internationally recognized individual, civil, political, and labor rights for Cuban citizens. The core purpose is to help strengthen independent, on-island civil society so it can better defend citizens' rights and interests and push back against restrictions and limitations imposed by the Cuban government.
The opportunity is structured as a grant under CFDA 19.345 (International Programs to Support Democracy, Human Rights and Labor). DRL anticipated making up to five awards. Individual award amounts were expected to fall between $500,000 (award floor) and $2,000,000 (award ceiling), and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility was open to a range of organizational types, including nonprofit organizations (both those with and without 501(c)(3) status, as long as they are not higher education institutions), as well as private institutions of higher education and public/state-controlled institutions of higher education. In practical terms, this means universities and a broad set of nonprofit entities could propose programming, as long as the proposed work aligned with DRL's human rights and civil society strengthening goals in the Cuba context.
Key dates show this was a time-limited solicitation: it was posted on December 22, 2014, with an application closing deadline of February 5, 2015, and it was archived on March 7, 2015.
