Follow us@ngobox

About the Organization

The mission of the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) is to provide protection, ease suffering, and resolve the plight of persecuted and uprooted people around the world on behalf of the American people by working with other governments and international partners, sharing the burden of providing life-sustaining assistance and seeking durable solutions by working through multilateral systems to build global partnerships, ensure compliance with international norms and standards and promote best practices in humanitarian response.

About the Grant

This Notice of Funding Opportunity seeks global initiatives that advance humanitarian  protection for refugees, asylum seekers, and/or stateless persons.  Concept notes can  include activities that advance protection through: 

• Strengthening capacity
• Advocacy
• Creating and sharing best practice and tools
• Coordination

Other activities that promote humanitarian protection are also welcome.  Proposed  activities must have relatively broad impact on humanitarian responses and show  clear, positive outcomes at the field level.  PRM will not consider concept notes  focused on a single country or those without global impact.

Concept notes can address general humanitarian protection or focus on the following specific protection themes:

• Persons with disabilities
• Stateless persons
• LGBTQI+ persons
• Older persons
• Child protection
• Mental health and psychosocial support

PRM defines protection as: 

“Measures to safeguard the rights of PRM populations of concern by seeking to  prevent or end patterns of violence or abuse; alleviate the trauma and related effects  of violence or abuse; identify and promote durable solutions; foster respect for  refugee, humanitarian, and human rights law; and ensure that humanitarian actions  uphold human dignity, benefit the most vulnerable, and do not harm affected  populations.”

Organizations can apply as consortia. For this notice, PRM defines consortia as a group of at least three organizations that form an agreement to undertake an assistance activity beyond the resources of any one member.

Award Ceiling:   $750,000
