Opportunity Information: Apply for DRLA DRLAQM 17 059
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) offered a discretionary grant competition titled "DRL Global Religious Freedoms - Europe and East Asia and the Pacific" (Funding Opportunity Number: DRLA DRLAQM 17 059). The core purpose of the opportunity was to fund projects that promote and protect religious freedom across two broad regions: Europe and East Asia and the Pacific. In practical terms, this means DRL was seeking proposals from qualified organizations that could design and implement activities aimed at strengthening respect for freedom of religion or belief, improving protections for individuals and communities facing religious discrimination or persecution, and supporting environments where religious rights are better understood and upheld.
The opportunity was structured to support awards through either a grant or a cooperative agreement, indicating that DRL could choose a more traditional grant relationship or a cooperative arrangement with a higher level of federal involvement during implementation, depending on the project needs and oversight requirements. The maximum (ceiling) amount for any single award was listed as $500,000, and DRL anticipated making approximately two awards under this competition. This suggests a relatively selective process, likely prioritizing proposals that demonstrated strong regional expertise, clear and measurable outcomes, credible partnerships, and a realistic plan for operating in complex political and social environments where religious freedom issues can be sensitive.
A broad range of applicants were eligible. Eligible entities included public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status. The listing also included an "Others" category, implying that additional types of applicants could potentially qualify depending on the specific eligibility clarification referenced in the full notice. The assistance listing (CFDA) number associated with this program was 19.345, which corresponds to U.S. Department of State public diplomacy and related assistance programming in democracy, human rights, and labor areas.
The notice was created on March 22, 2017, with an original application closing date of April 26, 2017. Overall, this funding opportunity was designed to channel DRL support toward concrete, implementable initiatives that advance religious freedom objectives in Europe and in East Asia and the Pacific, using U.S. foreign assistance resources to help address restrictions, discrimination, and other challenges to freedom of religion or belief in those regions.Apply for DRLA DRLAQM 17 059
