Description
1) Objective
The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) announces a Request for Statements of Interest (RSOI) from organizations interested in submitting Statements of Interest (SOI) for programs that support Internet Freedom. In support of the U.S. International Strategy for Cyberspace, DRL’s goal is to protect the open, interoperable, secure, and reliable Internet by promoting fundamental freedoms, human rights, and the free flow of information online through integrated support to civil society for technology, digital safety, policy and advocacy, and applied research programs. DRL invites organizations interested in potential funding to submit SOI applications outlining program concepts that reflect this goal.
SOIs must address one or more of the Internet Freedom Funding Themes: technology, digital safety, policy and advocacy, and applied research. Applications that do not address the Funding Themes will not be considered competitive.
2) Eligibility
Organizations submitting SOIs must meet the following criteria: (1) Be a U.S.- or foreign-based non-profit/non-governmental organization (NGO), or a public international organization; or (2) Be a private, public, or state institution of higher education; or (3) Be a for-profit organization or business; and have existing, or the capacity to develop, active partnerships with thematic or in-country partners, entities, and relevant stakeholders including private sector partner and NGOs; and have demonstrable experience administering successful and preferably similar programs. DRL reserves the right to request additional background information on organizations that do not have previous experience administering federal awards. These applicants may be subject to limited funding on a pilot basis.
3) Location
Actions can take place worldwide.
4) Budget
Grants may range from $500,000 – $3,000,000.
