Who can apply

This opportunity was open to the applicants described in the notice.

• Others (see text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility" for clarification)

The Julia Taft Fund for Refugees is limited to Cameroonian locally registered CBOs, associations, or non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with at least 2 years of experience working in Cameroon. Recipients of the previous year’s Julia Taft fund are normally not eligible for the current year’s funds. Organizations and entities with a prior history of poor performance on U.S. government grants are ineligible to apply for funding.

Is this a realistic fit?

• Past Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for Africa awards averaged $1.4 million; this notice allows up to $25,000 per award.
• Most of the program's money (72% over five years) went to nonprofits.
• No cost sharing or match is required.

What the grant funds

The U.S. Embassy in Yaounde-Cameroon, Political and Economic Section is seeking proposals for innovative projects that address refugees’ or returnees’ social welfare in crisis-affected regions of Cameroon. We will also consider supporting projects that benefit both refugees/returnees and their host communities, with refugees representing at least 50% of the direct beneficiaries. Proposals targeting Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), stateless persons, or vulnerable migrants will not be considered under this program. Proposals can address one or more of the following sectors: WASH, education, health, vocational training, income generating activities, or any relevant social issue.
