Description
1) Objective
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL) announces an open competition for organizations interested in submitting applications for a project that supports creating an enabling and inclusive environment where citizens can advocate for human rights and democratic governance. The program should provide short-term emergency financial assistance to allow individuals and groups (‘advocates’) who are not traditional human rights defenders by profession but are defending human rights at great risk to their personal safety, especially when advocating for transparency and/or exposing corruption or abuses of power. Potential beneficiaries may include but are not limited to: academics, whistleblowers, public officials, members of the police/military, and witnesses for key human- rights related legal cases.
Applications should demonstrate global reach and extensive existing networks on local, regional, and international levels, both to assist and support disbursal of funds and for connecting potential program beneficiaries where appropriate. Applications should demonstrate the ability and capacity to assess the advocates’ emergency, short-term needs and facilitate secure, timely delivery of emergency assistance.
2) Eligibility
DRL welcomes applications from U.S. based and foreign based non profit organizations/nongovernment organizations (NGO) and public international organizations; private, public, or state institutions of higher education; and for profit organizations or businesses. DRL’s preference is to work with non profit entities; however, there may be some occasions when a for profit entity is best suited.
3) Location
Actions can take place worldwide.
4) Budget
The total funding is $9,876,540.
5) Application Procedure
Applications are due no later than 11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST), on 1 MARCH, 2022 on https://www.grants.gov/ under the announcement title “DRL Non-Traditional Advocates for Transparency Response Fund,” funding opportunity number “SFOP0008499.”
