Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0006505
The "2020 Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru Full Proposal" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0006505) is a discretionary U.S. government grant from the Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) focused on addressing urgent protection and assistance needs tied to the Venezuela regional displacement crisis. The program is designed to fund projects operating in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, with the central priority being support for Venezuelan refugees, asylum seekers, and vulnerable migrants who are facing heightened risks and limited access to services in these host countries. PRM also leaves room for integrated proposals that serve additional affected groups in specific contexts, including victims of internal displacement and confinement in Colombia, and Colombian refugees, asylum seekers, and vulnerable migrants in Ecuador, as long as Venezuelans remain a primary focus or the overall approach clearly aligns with the humanitarian objectives described.
A core expectation of the opportunity is that funded programs concentrate on the most vulnerable and under-served individuals within the populations of concern rather than delivering generalized support. The notice highlights several groups that PRM considers especially at risk and therefore high priority, including children and adolescents, with specific emphasis on unaccompanied and separated children; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or intersex (LGBTI) individuals; older persons; people who are sick; people with disabilities; members of minority communities such as indigenous communities and Afro-Colombians; and survivors of gender-based violence, as well as people at risk of such violence. Applicants are expected to go beyond simply naming these populations and to show concrete, practical steps they will take to identify, reach, and serve them effectively. In practice, this means proposals should demonstrate that the applicant understands the specific protection threats these groups face and has tailored assistance strategies, safe referral pathways, and appropriate safeguards to respond to those threats.
PRM requires that proposed activities align with at least one of two broad program areas. The first is Humanitarian Protection and Assistance, which generally covers immediate protection interventions and essential services that reduce harm and help displaced people access safety, rights, and basic supports. The second is Interim and Durable Solutions, which typically refers to pathways that move people beyond short-term crisis support toward more stable outcomes, such as strengthened self-reliance, safe onward movement where appropriate, legal and administrative support connected to regular status, and other measures that help households achieve a more sustainable situation while longer-term solutions are pursued. Proposals can cover one or both areas, but they should clearly connect activities to outcomes for vulnerable groups and explain why the chosen approach fits the country context.
Funding under this notice is provided through a cooperative agreement, which usually indicates a higher level of federal involvement during implementation than a standard grant. The stated award ceiling is $3,000,000. The opportunity was created on March 20, 2020, and the original closing date for submissions was April 8, 2020. Although the listing notes "ExpectedAwards: 0," the key takeaways remain the target geography, populations, and required programmatic focus for any applicant evaluating fit or drawing lessons from the notice.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), nonprofit organizations without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding institutions of higher education), and international organizations. A specific procedural limitation applies to international multilateral organizations, such as UN agencies: they are instructed not to submit proposals through Grants.gov for this announcement and instead to contact the designated PRM Program Officer by the closing date if they seek funding aligned with the notice. Overall, the opportunity is aimed at credible humanitarian and protection actors that can demonstrate targeted, context-aware programming for Venezuelan displacement-affected populations, with special attention to those facing the highest protection risks and barriers to assistance.Apply for SFOP0006505
