What the grant funds

U.S. Department of State U.S. Embassy Conakry Notice of Funding Opportunity Funding Opportunity Title: Julia Taft Refugee Fund for FY 2022 Funding Opportunity Number: DOS-CONAK-FY22-00-02 Date Open: January 19, 2022 Date Closed: February 14, 2022 CFDA: 19.517 – Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for Africa Funding Instrument: Grant Minimum Award Amount: $5,000 Ceiling Award Amount: $25,000 Background and Funding Opportunity Description The U.S. Embassy in Conakry, Guinea announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to implement programs to protect refugees in Guinea via the Julia Taft Refugee Fund, in collaboration with the Department of State’s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM). The fund is designed to meet critical refugee protection and assistance needs, filling gaps not addressed by other organizations. The initiative seeks to provide U.S. Ambassadors the means to respond to critical programming gaps that have not been addressed in larger multilateral refugee programs. Per 7008 restrictions, the U.S. government is prohibited from providing assistance to the Government of Guinea (including local institutions, such as schools and local government representatives) until a democratically elected government is installed. Projects cannot involve the participation of government officials or employees serving in their official capacity or occur in government-owned facilities. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA AND FUNDING GUIDELINES The funds are meant to support projects that assist refugees or refugee returnees. • The Taft Refugee Fund is intended for projects that include a target beneficiary base of at least 50 percent refugees or returnees. • Requests to provide funding to populations other than refugees/returnees are discouraged, but exceptions can be made in some regions with “populations of concern” to PRM, such as internally displaced persons (IDPs), vulnerable migrants, and stateless persons. • PRM seeks to support local organizations to support equal access to protection, assistance, and other solutions for LGBTQI+ refugees and stateless persons. • Consideration for support is also given to projects that benefit both populations of concern and their host communities. • The fund is not meant as an emergency fund and these should be one-time interventions, not sustained programs. • Applicants must be a registered organization, such as an NGO, community-based organization, or faith-based organization.
