Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "US Embassy Quito, Political Section, Cities Free of Gender Based Violence" is a U.S. Department of State funding competition focused on reducing and preventing gender based violence in public spaces in Ecuador, specifically in the cities of Santo Domingo and Portoviejo. It is administered through the U.S. Mission to Ecuador (U.S. Embassy Quito) and is positioned as an assistance award under a Notice of Funding Opportunity, meaning the Department is inviting qualified organizations to propose a structured project that directly addresses the stated problem and delivers measurable public impact in the target locations.
Funding is intended to support one project through a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a more hands-on partnership between the U.S. government and the recipient than a standard grant, often involving ongoing coordination, shared planning, or substantial involvement by the agency during implementation. The opportunity anticipates making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of USD 148,800. The award ceiling is USD 148,800, while the award floor is USD 70,000, so proposals generally need to fit within that funding band. Importantly, there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for organizations that may not be able to contribute significant non-federal funds. As with many federal opportunities, final funding depends on Congressional approval and the availability of funds.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, including those with IRS 501(c)(3) status and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, as long as they are not institutions of higher education. The announcement also indicates openness to not for profit, non governmental organizations and public international organizations, as well as other qualified entities capable of carrying out the work described. The program aligns with the Department of State mission area associated with global womens issues (CFDA 19.801, Office of Global Womens Issues), reinforcing that the core purpose is gender equity and protection, with a focus on safety and rights in everyday public environments.
The NOFO was posted on June 25, 2015, and the application deadline listed is August 3, 2015. The funding activity category is labeled "Other," with clarification that the purpose is to combat gender based violence, which signals that proposals should be tightly centered on practical interventions, prevention strategies, awareness and behavior change, community engagement, and/or improvements in local responses related to violence and harassment occurring in public spaces. The geographic scope is clearly limited to Santo Domingo and Portoviejo, so competitive proposals would be expected to demonstrate local knowledge, credible partnerships, and a realistic plan for implementation in those specific cities.
For applicants who cannot access the full announcement electronically or who need assistance, the point of contact is Shiva Marvasti, Political Officer at the Political Section of the U.S. Embassy Quito, reachable by phone at 593 2 398 523.
